NCFarms:... Someone advised me to do partial change of water everyday. That is, I will remove half of the water and replace the amount i removed with fresh water everyday.... Are you in benin sir.... |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by NCFarms: 4:15pm On May 05, 2018 |
whiteraven: Thats also good. Infact, sometimes in a bid to conserve water. I run my flow through with little pressure for 30mins after feeding and stop. And my water is always fresh. So am very sure that will work. Am in abuja. |

*'When the foundation is faulty....'* You all know what next...well maybe you don't know what next, I will tell you but before I do, I will like to share a personal story with you. My name is Dare Akintade, a fish enthusiast, a die hard aquapreneur, a father, a salesperson, I love life and I believe one of the ways of staying happy is to keep fish. We started out year 2013, with big dreams and aspirations... we make sure every thing that we needed in the fish farm was in place. We deposited money for feeds, pumping and so on. And we make sure we look for the best fish Juveniles, they were so big and strong. *They were picking 3mm feed immediately we stocked them* what can a farmer asked for again?, we have no inkling it will be a source of concern later. We started feeding them, two times daily; two weeks they barely changed, we quickly changed strategies in feeding...increased feeding time to three times daily...but nothing changes. We latter find out that they are all left over fish, *'grade A'* have being taken, *'B'* gone too, *'C'* nowhere to be found. We were sold. We had to abort the whole operation. They were later used as fish meal because they got burnt during smoking. And thanks to this experience..It opened our eye and more reason we started production of Catfish Juveniles for our farm and later for other farms. It's a sad story for any biginner experienced and only few out of us had not experienced this or similar incidences before. So back to the title, 'When the foundation is faulty'. You see there is nothing my preparedness will do nor the availability of feed. Money is being lost. ..so to complete...it end thus: what can righteous do? So what would you do if you bought an infected fry, fingerlings or juveniles? What would you do if bought four months Juveniles because they tell you they are shooters. *Contact us on '08066401947' to order for your Juveniles, Hybrid or Pure Breeds.* We are located in Ilorin and can supply any part of the Country. PS. I will like to leave you with this tip of know a very old Juveniles Catfish. If the barbel is too long is very old and if appeared eating off or two short.. They are sick. *Don't forget to contact us on '08066401947' order your Juveniles today.Thanks for reading .* 1 Like |

Good evening house. Please I need urgent help. My post juveniles aren't eating well and this is affecting their growth. They are currently eating skretting 2mm. Is there anything I can give to boost their appetite? Thank you |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aragon4realz(m): 12:30pm On May 06, 2018 |
MissTes:simple solution...don't feed them for a day then change the water and watch them rush for food the next time you feed them 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by fisher777(m): 3:09pm On May 06, 2018 |
abescom:1. Maggots if readily available 2. Sort according to size, feed as necessary 3. No Original vital feed can achive that....I am not advocating vital feed mind u. First thing is to get good quality juveniles. Any low cost feed can substitute..... Otherwise formulate your feed |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by MissTes: 4:30pm On May 06, 2018 |
aragon4realz:. Thank you so much..I'll do that |

bruzjay: To shade the ponds from direct sunlight. Although my mentor advised me to shade the ponds, common sense would tell you that too much sun is not really healthy. Just imagine staying under the sun from sunrise till sunset. Even some streams have shades (trees) and oceans are way too deep. It all depends on what works for you. Some don't like shading their ponds, others do and I think both works. So far, my fishes are doing extremely well. Farm location is Enugu |

fisher777:thanks for this bro. By no in number 3 do you mean I should expect more than 10%? I had roughly 20% in my current ( first ever) pond. Morality constitute less than 3% of that ( about 50 fishes died but total of about 600 of 3200 missing). Sorted at 3 months. |

olabakefish: Oh, thats about a year ago, i visited his farm and offered advice on local feed formulation. His initial plan was to stock for 5months but he started late and by November the water level started decreasing rapidly so he had to sell at melange. Yes, his production was successful, i could remember he called to tell me one of the pond give 40 baff, that would be about 1300kg of 4000 fishes. Since he sold at melange average weight was around 350grams. Looking at the circumstances then, it was a good season for him despite some challenges. He later dug borehole to complement the natural water. Kaykamil has been a very shrewd young businessman 1 Like |

Good morning fam, Farmers lets try to visit other people's farm once in a while to learn new things or to see what we are doing wrongly. I'm a tarpaulin pond builder, I move from farm to farm alot to install pond. Recently I was contacted by a farmer to add additional four pond, when I got there to take measurements, I met them doing sorting in a way that's efficient and different from what I have been doing at my farm. Sorting is very important in fish farming. According to my preference, after water the next is sorting before feeding etc. Do have a lovely day. 1 Like |
