It wud be vry difficult to wash the tank witj the fishes inside,so if possible transfer them and dnt wash wit dertergent,yes it is possible to rear them to abt 1kg only and only if the tank is spacious.

Water is fish and fish is water, if the water is not okay, that's when you fish your fish dying or not swimming well you need to test your water everyday, because its PH can change any time, likewise the ammonia and the nitrate, especially for those that do fingerlings production, some will just wake up and find massive death of fish, and if you look closely if not the feed you are giving them, it wi

Catfish need oxygen, without enough oxygen in the water, the fish will start hanging on the water, some can die, and some can get sick, but with the help of oxygen, your fish is always healthy. We have the air pump, air compressor and the air blower.

Hello @ poster, i commend your efforts so far i'll love to add my voice to this thread for the benefit of all especially those interested in fish farming for quick profit.
two most important things required for sucessful fish farming are: stable source of water supply and your total commitment, as modern research as shown wide deviation from what fish farming used to be in the past.
If ure interested in any other aquaculture other than earthy ponds you must be certain to replace your water every other day, water level must be 4ft for easy food conversion. it means that if you have a 10*10 concrete or plastic tank, u'll need about 20000lts of water or more every 2days. If earthy pounds, considerarion must be given to drain pipes, polluttion and water replenishment. nature of soil, pond pollution and diseace outbreak determine whether pond water will be changed or not.
On feeding, technology has also shown that feeding pattern determines output reason why some farmers can bost of 1kg-2kg within 3months, needless to say their food connsumption is directly proportional to their sizes which varies from week to week. Also feeding pattern is very important especially when u change from floating to sinking feeds, if care is not taken you may just be wasting your feeds thinking ure feeding your fishes.
There is no hard and fast rule as to the best time for feeding. personal experience has shown that fish responds to feeding at nights as much as they do during the day, but how many fish farmers can do that except few backyard farmers like me.
Lastly the majority size of your fish at crop determine the price/kg. if 70% of your fish is 0.8kg upwards, ure likely to get btw 400 & 500/kg but if 70% are arround 0.7kg your maket price should be arround 300-400/kg
This is my submisson.

Please i want some one to help here. am confused, i started fish biz just this january 2012, through a friend who is into it as well. My problem is water, and feeding frequent without seeing the growth.

As i speak, i have roughly spent 500k, and they are in the 4th month, yet i hardly see 1kg. am not impressed with the growth considering how much i have put into it. I have been using a local feed formulation. dont know if thats where the problem is. but in my fomulation i have more of FISH MEAL, SOYA MEAL, GNS, AND INDOMIE. it seem i will paste my formulation here when next i come. pls advise. i need them to be atleast 1kg in the 4th month or 5th month at most. i need all the help i can get. tnx all
