digi101: I've been quietly following this thread for quite a while and i must say its educative, a big thanks to the op for such a productive thread.
Been running a few test runs in the back of my yard while developing my farm site, this set is my second run. I have the 2m fiber tanks (2 nos.). I learnt a lot from my first experience and am using the second time to see how much i've learnt. All has been well for one and a half month, then suddenly my shooters which are in one of my tanks have just started killing each other! i mean they just target like two start ripping of there fins . I really dont understand what happened. Ive been feeding them on durante feed throughout, and they feed three times a day and i never miss. Now they just are not interested in the feed, and the worst part is when they kill a fish they wont even eat it . Has anyone ever had this kind of experience?

digi101: still on it. Funny enough its not overcrowding, i have 200 average size of 250g in a 2m circular tank with a dept of 3 feet. I do a 25% water change in the morning and night so i really dont think its the water (unfortunately i dont know where to get the kits in ibadan). Prior to this they usually were sane and ate normally, now they really dont eat much but just keep chasing after each other and killing! I took out all injured and dead yesterday evening, as at tonight i already spotted like 2 to 3 new causalities with serious bite marks. This is really turning into a major lesson

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.

deandavid: bros abeg i hav a qtn, wat if after testing the water, nd d ammonia nd nitrite is higher than normal, wat do i do 2 correct d water, if i dnt want to change it?

deandavid: bros i dnt understand dis calculations o. I tot its supose 2 b wf *10%/100*num of fish. Bros abeg clear me o

deandavid: bro can we say d cooler the temperature, the more they ll be active nd hence, tend to eat more?because i noticed, fishes are more active in cool evening.is dis true?

arramyjay:

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.

deandavid: come o, wat do u mean, if my fish weighs 5g nd i stocked abt 1000 fish nd if i use 10%, are u sayin am 2 feed my fish 50000g approx. 50kg of feed/day? Oboy check am na,no go work like dat.

arramyjay:

Christ I cant believe this

5g*10/100*1000 is = 500g which is 5kg per day, ur maths teacher should be taken to court boss.

deandavid: bros na ur maths teacher dem go flog 4 ynash. 500g is nt equal to 5kg,bt 0.5kg sir.bros Check well abeg 500g/1000 wch is conversion of g to kg. Or am i confusing myself?

digi101: sorry been a bit busy so havent had time to follow up d thread. woukd still luv to hear ur solution though i have made up my mind to smoke the problematic batch tomorrow

transponder: Guys, Please help me out.I have 2,500 cathfish fingerlings, i stocked them a month ago. Can i give them 4mm vital feed now? I will appreciate any help.

deandavid: come o, wat do u mean, if my fish weighs 5g nd i stocked abt 1000 fish nd if i use 10%, are u sayin am 2 feed my fish 50000g approx. 50kg of feed/day? Oboy check am na,no go work like dat.

arramyjay:
