Nothing
He told me that it's from my pond... Because they don't have any sign of infection

mgdimagaladima:
Please someone should help me.... I bought fingerlings last week and stock them in Earthen pond but they are dieing now

Please what should I do?

have you noticed any physical abnormalities in the fishes. plus, how do they respond to feed and how are their swimming habits?

No any abnormality.....

They re swimming fast fast

I think it's lack of oxygen because algae too much in the pond

I assume u are running a stagnant pond system therefore d quantity in dat space(20/25/5) is much, u are right oxygen is depleted, if u want good performance 4dat space u shud stock like 500pcs(am still assuming stagnant system) and then still reduce dem wt time dat is if u ar targeting 1kg above.

2times a day for fingerlings not so good, atleast 3times feeding shud work better(but then cos of ur small space ds frequency wl certainly cause more pollution)
The space is just small 4dat number.

Suggestion; if u hv a pond not in use, use a mud pump and gently pump in fresh water frm there into d pond dat has fish for like an hour everyday after morning feeding, do it for like a week ( i wud hav suggested draining ur pond nd evacuating into diff ponds bt they ar quite small, might cause much more mortality.....)

Then u can get aquaceryl frm a vet shop and mix in their feed, just follow d instruction on d sachet.
Once they stopd dropping nd hv come up in size a little please split into diff ponds as fast as u can.
They wl b fine, i dont think d person sold bad seeds to u, it looks purely like basic mgt issue.
Give ur fishes good water nd space plus quality feed and u ar good to go.
I hope ds helps.

Thank u very much.... God bless
We really need people like u here

1,500 in that size of pond


Let me advice you

If you don't have ponds to split them as advised above which is the best solution..... Then do some serious water exchange like 12hrs in 24hrs .... Target over night when the oxygen drops most..... You'll be fine

20 feet by 25feets is way enough for 1500 fish fingerlins.. That is 6meters by 7.5meter by 1.5 meters depth.. 67,500 litres space.. 20litres/ fish to table size is ideal...

Sometimes else must be the reason.. Not space.. Just an engineer view..
I stand to be corrected..

in the end, there's is no fixed formula for formulating fees, but i suppose this will do. as they grow older, u can play with d different materials depending on ur desires crude protein. All said n done, ur pocket n ur desires crude protein will determine ur formulation.

What is the best way to dry/smoke fish at melange size for a newbie who can't afford oven for now. quantity is 300

soft777:
The major catfish are Clarias gariepinus, Heterobranchus bidorsalis, Heterobranchus hybrid or heteroclaris, etc clarias is the major specie u see in the west , heterobranchus in the south south , the hybrid is the cross between clarias and heterobranchus , hybrid has more tissue, meaning it has more flesh than the other 2, heterobranchus is more testier. clarias can be reared in a higher stocking density than the other 2 , and it is more immune to diseases than the other 2, hybrid and claries has more survival rate than heterobranchus because heterobranchus are more carnivours. All can be reared with great profit if you follow the different procedure of farming them . To me i use clarias for mellange because, i can store them in large quantities in a lesser space with low oxygen, and i use hybrid for my table size grow out because. it grows to a large size faster and has more tissue, means more weight and more profit ] . But all the species has there advantages and disadvantages , but important is rearing themthe right recommended ways ..I guess this answers your question , if you need more elaboration on any specific specie ,on how to rear it, i will be glad to be of more assistance, thank u and GOOD LUCK

The original poster of this isn't available anymore. His impact/contributions would live till eternity.

WD appreciate if anyone else can answer me on this:

Does anyone else agree that hybrid is better for full grow out? That is raising to table size(1kg plus]?

While clarias is better for melange, due to being able to survive in high quantity with less space?


Pls someone shed some light on the stocking density for both clarias and hybrid for full grow out only.


For Instance I have a 10ft×12ft×4ft pond, what quantity should I stock to 1kg for;
1)clarias
2)hybrid


Lastly, what is the average price of their fingerlings and juveniles?

Robonski, u are also needed here sir.

You can use coal and iron net.

At how many days interval am I expected to change water in tarpaulin pond. my fish are at juvenile stage

Please House.....

which system of roofing is preferable for grow-out concrete ponds...

1, open roof ponds

2, roofed ponds

3, partially roof ponds like planting trees or covering partially with materials like wood, roofing zinc.. Considering water will be dripping in..

Which is ideal... Please I need honest answers base on experience..

This is what I have personally experienced..
Fingerlings and juveniles in my roofed concrete pond use to hang and develop diseases easily..

Fingerlings and juveniles in my open roof concrete pond always look healthy and play enough.. Never see them hanging..

Please.. Gurus in the house.. Please help us..

fisher777:

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

I luv your honesty and open mindedness. Please keep it up.
For a starter were can I source for quality juveniles from without falling a victim of the runts scam.
