Good seed, good feed, good water and proper management is essential for optimum yield in aquaculture.

On a level ground, you should expect to have (650-850)g at about 4 months from fingerling stage....from 5 months you should be able to sample some 1kg

Contact your mentor

not normal. could be caused by bad seed, overstocking, underfeeding, poor water management . @ 17 weeks you should at least be having 20% 1kg, 60% 600g -900g and 20% below 600g

I have almost 2months old fish are they due to switch to local feeds and which local feed will you suggest i use thanks
one of major vital ingredient in fish feed is protein. 3mm/4mm foreign feed usually have crude protein of 45%. if you are switching to local feed at this level, look for local feed that has at least cp of 42%. always written on feed bags

Ask in the house for a fish farmer who lives in your city... Arrange a visit and see how it goes...otherwise find one who lives close if not in the same city as you

I got them from a poultry(big farm o) not too far from my farm. Them plenty there and seems nobody they pack them. Any way of cultivating them is to pack dried or wet birds faeces and soak inside a big bowl before 3-4 days Magots will form inside it.

Remember to feed them to satiation... i.e as much as they can eat
