Thanks for everytime bro, i havent sorted yet,the pond is quite big and deep, 40 by 35 or so, there are 3000 in each pond, and they are getting bigger, and there is enough space for all to wine, their average size is about size of hand, and its flow through system i use, and we pump almost everyday for them.

It varies but these are d ingredients and quantity I used in makin about 50kg feed for my 2 months fish.
1. GNC=25kg
2. Blood meal=15kg
3. Garri=5kg
4. Bone=5kg
5. Fish(erunrun eja) to give d feed odour to attract d fish=4 congos
6. Lysine=0.25kg
7. Methionine=0.25kg
8. Salt=0.2kg
9. Fish premix=0.2kg
10. Fish booster=one small bag.
You can do indomie size or 3mm pellet 4 dem dependin on deir size.

With the price of fish now,shifting to durante sinking pellet (it cost 350/kg) after two months will still give good result instead of the stress of pelletizing..most of the local ingredients are not even pure again..

Formalin is deadly when not properly used.. You can use salt solution to wash your pond..
