In lagos.

akonucheinfo: @ jay, between vital feed and multi feed, which is best?

Try vital feed then,I can't guarantee results though.

akonucheinfo: @jay, my farm is in Lagos, i use concrete pond. @ikooko, tnx. i got my fish from a reputable farmer in my area. health wise, i will rate them 80%. But, how do i check the source of the fish? pls clear me out

firsty, note that breeders are also in business to make profit. they'll do whatever is necessary for max profit.
Two- age, weight and specie of parent stock is also key.
Do you know that juveniles are also sorted into shooters, normal growths and runts? if care is not taken, it's possible to buy runts from a reputable breeders.
It is adviceable to stock with matured juveniles which is more expensive. really, most breeders sell post-fingerlings as juveniles. to be on safe side, smart farmers usually raise their fish in fish tanks and sort to identify runts before transfering then into main ponds. No matter what you feed runts, you cant get desired result.

arramyjay:

Bros I hail o but u questions tire me o, where u dey buy ur fingerlings ask the bros for der make him help u weigh 1 or 2 fingerlings na,I no go lie u need a scale to aleast to dey measure quantity of feed you dey give them na,if na 1 earthern pond u get u no fit sort na,if for warri o na get drainage wey when u drain water e no go disturb the whole environment then draining water frm the pond shud be evry 2weeks,but guy get another pond o so u go fit they sort.

Yea if you fit drain water evry 2weeks e go pay u,I hear you boss,yea 1st harvest matter a lot no be small,so try as much as u can to sort o,becos for earthen pond u fit quick see d small fishes.

@davi , base on your post it will be difficult to get good fish except if the farmer is sincere and just.cos nowadays everyone is out to maximize profit.But, re u saying buying post-fingerlings isnt good. Cos i bought mine when they are still 4weeks, well i was told so. From the look of things, there are alots to this fish buziness than just what people say. one have to be careful. tnx.

@jay , @ikooko , i really appreciate u guyz. First, i have been able to management the iron content in ma water.I notice that the water treatment plant there has worn, so i disconnected it from the plant, as i speak now am pumping direct to my pond.

Also, By the Grace of God i changed to coppens yesterday and hope i will have the funds to feed them coppens for the remaining 2months before harvest.

I have a total of 3500 fish, by 2weeks time they will be 4months. i intend to feed them atleast 1bag of coppens a day for the remaining months before harvest. tnx.

@JAY , tnx. i rented 4 concrete pond and each contain 1000 fish. will sort on 29thmay and tell the house my result.tnx

akonucheinfo: but, i feel 1bag of coppens is small for 3,500 fish, but i cant increase it more than that cos of finance. what do u tink @jay ?

What do I think? Boss u asked and answered ur own question na,I think wht u want me to think,and wht I am thinking now is dat I can't advice you becos u hv financial strains.

yeah i no. but will 1bag a day for 3,500 fish improve them or should i go back to my local feed?

akonucheinfo: yeah i no. but will 1bag a day for 3,500 fish improve them or should i go back to my local feed?

It depends on what they weigh now. Do u knw hw to calculate the quantity of feed to feed per day?

will access their weight when i sort last saturday of this month.i.e 26thMay. Dont know how to calculate the quantity of feed to be given per day. plz advise if there is a particular step to follow. tnx, am on line now

Weight of 1 fish*10%*total amount of fish u hv in ur pond, will give u d total amount u are suppose to feed them all per day.

Can you feed with coppens not minding the size of the feed pellet?

ayodejy05: Can you feed with coppens not minding the size of the feed pellet?

U hv to mind the size of the coppens u are using,it is will be very funny to use 2mm for 1kg size fish.

Please give me the size of coppen feed for respective ages/weight

ayodejy05:

Please give me the size of coppen feed for respective ages/weight

It basically has to do wit their weight.
Example if the weight of 1 fish is abt 11(g) use 2mm
Weight changes to abt 58(g) use 3mm. 132(/g) 4.5mm or mix wit 6mm like so on.anything aft 1.5kg use 8mm.

Do u want to improve your yield and the size of ur fish? Try our organic fertilizer from Dynapharm Int'l. It works! Call Luther on 08081347351 for details.

tnx will check their weight during ma sorting next saturday. will check the calculation and will update u.ok.tnx
