The flow is very good, I remove net after 25 to 27 hours.The water usually is a little milky when removed but after 1hour it becomes clean. I use bore-hole water on them. I do start my feeding on the evening of the third day of hatching.

Do you check the PH of the water?
Do you store the water in tank before using it in the pond or you pump direct into the pond?
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ubreeze(m): 10:54pm On Apr 06, 2017
Hello guys, i just joined this thread yesterday and trying to read everything is going to take a while before i get answers.
I am a newbie in fish farming. I stocked my ponds with 1500 fingerlings and i have been feeding them with Coppens (N12,800 per bag over here).
The fishes are 1 month and 3 weeks in the pond and feeding them is getting really expensive. I swapped to SARB feed (N10,000) and I feed them 3 times daily.
They are eating 1 bag in 3 days right now, it is still expensive. I am feeding them 3mm, about to move to 4mm.
Please house, kindly assist with the following concerns:
1. I want to swap to Nigerian feed and I have been hearing a lot about Vital feed in this forum but its not readily available here. Is Topfeed a good or better option?
2. I want to start feeding them twice a day, is this okay? If it is okay, what times shd the feeding be done.
3. I heard someone talking about weighing the quantity of feed before giving to the feed, pls what is ur advice on this?
4. Currently my workers use their hands while sorting the fish, is this a good practice or there is a better way.
I am in Uyo/Eket in Akwa Ibom state, is there anyone in this forum who has a farm around me? I would love to learn from that person practically.
I will very much appreciate any advice or contribution.

Top feed is good. I tink u can sort d fishes with ur hands. Feeding them 2 times daily is good, but, if d fishes r still about 1 month nd below, den 3 times daily is better. U don't weigh d quantity of the feed, u just feed dem till dey r satiated, dats is u feed dem till dey stop eating. But u ll av to b observant not to over feed dem, so dat d water won't get polluted.

Thanks bro, please one last question.
How do you improve the oxygen content of the pond.
I don't know where to buy an aerator in Nigeria and what type.

Don't kip ur water for too long b4 changing it, or if u av d means, constant flow tru is very ok. Borehole water is much more ok, but, make sure d borehole water is kept in d tank for a little while b4 pumping it into d pond. Dats d little I know. As for d aerator, I don't know much about it. Call on d Gurus in d house to help u with dat.

Kneyo:

1. The water isn't meant to be milky, reduce the water to a certain level, then add clean water.
2. Make sure you siphon their dirts everyday.
3.Do not over feed
4. Flow through is very important, if you can do it overnight for them...it'll help alot.
5. Make sure they're not too much in a pond.
Hope that helps.
thanks alot, your advice went a long way.

As others had rightly pointed it out, the vat water is expected to be very clear. Milky water is an indication of pollution, the level you cannot ascertain, the effect of which usually result in hatchlings mortality 3,4, or 5 days after hatching. Once hatching starts, monitor the water, except in cases where you have bigger facility to manage the pollution for optimal hatch.

Do u treat a stagnant water earthen pond in a swampy area? No flow thru, water comes up from under ground naturally when u pump out water from the pond. The area is swampy water every where

Did you test for the acidity of the water? Or you assumed it must be OK because it's a bore hole?

No sir, it is not possible to treat water which comes directly from it's natural source. the water has to pass through water treatment plants and filtration plants before going to the reservoir or where it's needed thanks.
