ur market target will determine how many months u will raise them likewise ur target weight. To raise a juvenile to 1kg @least u will spend nothing less dan 400 using cheap n rich local feed.

400 per fish, amounts to 800k for 2000 Juveniles.

like you I just started with 5000fingerlings and here is how I did my calculation for my first month I used aqualis of 5Kg which is 6K but I did my cal with 7K so this is how it goes
first month is 7K second month is 7K*2bags
so 7K+7K*2bags +7K*3bags + 7K*4bags +7K*5bags +7K*6bags +7K*7bags = N196000
assuming they will be fed for 7months and the consumed the equivalent number of bags each month so you get it...but note that you spend less on their feeding as they grow,so I believe this will be OK please correct me if am wrong

. Your calculation is wrong. You need about 2M to raise 5000 fishes to table size of average harvested weight of 1kg. Check it out at 400/fish. If you're experienced in aquaculture, you can make 300/350 per fish.

you're wrong...am in my 3rd month now and my calculation hasn't failed me yet

Great farmers...we are opportune has farmers to learn from one another....@snnaija....its impracticable to use one bag of fish feed to feed 5000 fishes in one month for fingerlings..not even fries...and a 15kg bag at that.....hmmmmm.....you are simply implying that you have spent #1.4k per fish....
I said it hear few threads above that your unit cost of production should be between #400 and above...I was misunderstood....no wahala....seeing is believing.....except if you have mastered the techniques.....

You may be right. However, did you count the fingerlings to be 5,000? If you counted and that figure is correct, it is not possible for you to use 30kg (5kg bag x 6) of feed for that figure for 3 months. You must have been underfeeding, and there would have been serious cannibalization, hence great reduction in fish quantity at harvest. Don't blame the hatchery where you bought your fingerlings. Remember to share your experiences very soon.

alright I have had some mortality but the thing is I have used 5.1/2 bags of both 1mm 1.5mm and 2mm at the end of my 2months

Did you count the fish at inception? Have you sorted? What figure do you have now? How many times do you feed daily? You are underfeeding your stock, which will affect your overall result at harvest. However, watch out for their feed consumption in the third month. It will beat your wildest imagination. Good luck.

great men in the house, pls which is better between top and vital and chi

8 tonnes of catfish for sales in Ibadan, serious buyers ONLY

Wao! This is really impracticable. Quite unattainable
196k for 5000 fishes for 7months feeding.
Well except may b those ar not catfish.

alright so how do you do your calculation and how much do you thing it will cost me

These are another batches of my feed for the next stock, 2000pcs fingerlings. The feed below is #180, 000.. first batch....
Without considering mortality yet...it simply means, at exhaustion, each fish would have been fed #90/fish.
The truth is whoever recommended 5000pcs of fingerlings to you and gave you that feeding formular simply did so to sell seedlings. And was scared to give the actual average operational cost.
Such simply act on the fact that 5000 fingerlings at #10 is just #50, 000....

alright...but I don't think stocking up feeds like this is advisable and secondly I bought my fingerlings at 15 naira, anyways I just hope that I make it at the end

Any fish farmer around South east umuahia?
