Yes
It also depends on the following reasons

The population of the catfish

The size of the catfish

The breed of the catfish


If you're unfeeding them at least give them enough maggots or animals Caracas

I'm currently feeding them once in two days because I'm short of cash now. But they eat to fill whole of their gut. Can they still lose weight like this?

Give me the estimate of their population. If they're less than 200 two days it's OK but more than that will cause the stunted growth

500 each in two bigger ponds.

The big ones will start eating the smaller ones yet they will be underfed

That's a lot bro...if they're up to six months sell them

Two months after stocking juveniles.

Please, someone said I should not let them be very big before selling them. He said there is no market for very big catfish at the moment. Is it true?

Untrue
If you're in d state capital...the bigger ones are more profitable especially when is more than a year
The price ranges from 2500 to 3000 per KG

Sell them off after a moth

Unclekayfarms:

Thanks. I will sell them after a month. They look big already. I'm using only floating feeds.

@olofin2
1. Why did you stock fish that you cannot feed? It's like planning to fail, even from on set.
2. Where is your location?
3. Which feed are you using?

I planned to borrow from bank while I keep using my salary to buy feed. Other things later started gulping the salary.

I'm in Oyo town

I started with Aller Aqua 0.9mm, 2mm, 3mm blue crown, now I'm using 4mm echo float.

What a hitch in your planning strategy? In fish farming, it's better when you have sufficient feeds because "No feed, No Gain".

The feeds you've been using are good.
Prioritize your expenses and look for a feed mill around the town, to compound feed. This may be of help to a certain extent, and you would have learnt something new. In every adversity, there's a lesson.
The big fishes will become bigger, eating the small ones because of insufficient feed.

Look for azola seed and plant it in your pond..catfish love eating azola

I am presently in Oyo town too. You can cut cost by making pellets for them locally.

Please, enumerate how to plant it if you have successfully made it before sir. I don't want to rely on Google. Thanks

I made pellets the other time. Without lysine and methionine, I spent 250 naira per kg. If I use those two, that will be around 300 per kg. Echo float is 300 naira per kg. What do you suggest bro?

Google "azolla for catfish"

Catfish love eating azolla and it will make them big but you don't need stop feeding.

Then visit this link cause I'm not a good writer

After planting azola I will suggest you leave them for about a year for maximum profit

How many grams on the average are the fishes now?

ademola1333:

About 300 gram now.

You can make a good and balanced formula suitable for them in Oyo at #250 or lesser per kilo. I will tell you where to source the materials cheaply.
