hi Robonski, I called Kilani severally to make another booking, I asked him to confirm the transportation cost and the vehicle company that will bring it down to Anambra State, (Ihiala precisely). He told me that he doesn't know any transport that's coming my way, but he will make enquiries. Uptill now, no news about the waybill. I called him again, he said he will call me back, yet nothing from him till now. There's no way I can make my booking without knowing how much the waybill will cost me. Please look into this matter urgently cuz am running out of patient. Thanks. (actually I want tio book for both clarias and hybrid juveniles, hope he would not mix things up? Cuz the last time I called him, he sounded so confused and tired that he almost cried on the phone. Maybe you should look into his work load)

Hello Cleo he actually told me about your order and I have sent the guy responsible for transportation to find out the price and a reliable transport company to anambra... I will personally give u all the details once we have a confirmation.. yeah I guess his work load is much, we have to look for another person to assist him.. Kindly drop your direct contact so we can talk.. thanks

SIR If you dont have steady water source ,then i recommend you use what i call a mini water recycle system and with 300 thousand u can have a capacity of 1000 fish to sell monthly .

OK Rob will do, I will take pix from the initial look till the final result, the site of the hatchery was formerly a pig slaughter that hasn't been used in over 8yrs so am clearing it up and disinfecting, the advantage to me here was the raised slabs so siphoning Fry's will be easy.

hi Robonski sorry been quite busy with my day job grin.. i finally am making some headway with the hatchery pics loading

that was what it looked like after the clearing and the first stage. i noticed that due to the gradient of the land water wasnt flowing in well so i decided to break it down and try something a bit more conventional

this is the final appearance i have a total of 12 vats available, should be treating them by tomorrow and spawning later in the week. in noticed the pH of the water is low so have put agric lime in one of the tanks and have been able to raise it to 7.4. any words will be appreciated. cheers.

Chilanfarms has said it all.. Hybrid weighs better than clarias in the long run, but they are not rugged like clarias which makes hybrid susceptible to diseases quickly than clarias.. Feeding rate of the hybrid is higher than clarias which means u might spend more on feeding..

Hybrid doesn't gurantee success also clarias it all boils down to proper management and technical know- how.

I beg to disagree with u sir, clarias are more susceptible to diseases than hybrid as chillanfarm farm said Buh clarias grow faster (I mean they are early starter while hybrid takes a while before getting bigger) than hybrid while hybrid prefer fleshy feeds has they are more carnivorous than clarias to make them grow faster, dis is from my own experience and it might be d nature of my land, however both are good if u know their
advantages and disadvantages.
