other necessary assistance can be given,but to supply that quantity of fingerlings isnt economical value because egbeda LGA in ibadan is after former toll gate towards ife,either to drive down to d farm or ask it to be brought to town(i stay in bodija),transport cost would have made it to be deficit(except am charging beyond what is obtainable,which i dont do)

I suggest both of you should agree
On the transport fee.. Its better for her to buy a good fish from a good source..

Hello, there are different feeds with different prices...There is no 1.8 mm its only 1.5mm.. Coppens 1.5mm is #3200 for 5kg and 2mm sells for #5200..
Zeigler 2mm is #4500, while vital 2mm is #3900..
Note prices varies.

Concerning the average cost of feeding, I usually peg it down to #150 for each fish to maturity... 500 multiply by 150 = #75,000.. So u will need at least75k to take them all the way to maturity..No cut corners..prices can rise over time.. God bless
i want to start this business are you saying #75000 will feed 500 fishes to maturity like hw much should my budjet be if i wamt to start small with 500 fishes i av like 3/4 of a plot i want to use plastic ponds,tanks i am of limited means

You will need at most #75,000 to buy the fingerlings or juvenile and to feed them to maturity.. It all depends on your choice of feeding..

You will need two plastic tanks for sorting.. I don't know how much the plastic tanks cost for now, it should be like #20k to #30k it depends on the size you want..

U should budget at most 150k for a start with other expenses like plumbing etc..

More so is there a ready source of water??
