the best thing to do if you can't produce yourself is to buy post fries, raise them yourself, sort out the best shooters and fast growing one to stock. for example : if you want to stock 3000 juvenile you buy 10,000 post fries, raise them for 4weeks, sort them every week, feed them well, space them, you will 've best best 3000 juvenile to stock. success is your story in harvest. in case you want to buy a very good post fries. we sell at #5. call : 08038886196 |

I really appreciate boss. So, before the 3rd month, the good should have been separated from the bad. Thereafter, feeding the best ones till 6th month and harvesting the not well growing ones at 4 and half months. |

Also, what quantity can I raise with a deep well source of water not a borehole. i.e how many fishes can a deep well water cater for. Thank you |

abbeydeeone: If its a residential area with no drainage there is little or no thing you can do except you dig a well and channel all the water inside.. Kindly elaborate on the deep well you are talking about |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 9:08pm On Sep 21, 2015 |
slimfit042: Bros 10 days interval changing of water and even filling to 1 and half level of pond will not work.. Digging a well will be a better option. www.agricnetwork.com |

If its a residential area with no drainage there is little or no thing you can do except you dig a well and channel all the water inside.. Kindly elaborate on the deep well you are talking about (Quote) (Report ) ( Like) (Share) Oga robonski, thank you for your response.What I meant by the deep well is that the well is a hand dug by this so called abokis. its very deep that it contains 18 rings. In dry seasons, people in the environs use to fetch and fetch and it never gets dried but I really don't know the volume of water been generated by the well and I want to know the number of fishes it secretion could sustain. Thank you sir |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ab1x: 9:27am On Sep 22, 2015 |
divinelove: If you intend using earthen pond, 600K is enough to start the business however if it is concrete pond without land, borehole am sorry it can't work. Unless of course, you want to rent a pond to do the business. 1 Like |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ab1x: 10:40am On Sep 23, 2015 |
ewaski: The amount of feeds they will consume depends on their eating habit. Some fish consume less while others are glutton. Try and use top feed 2mm. It is presently the best in the market now |
