Help! I noticed that whenever I feed my fishes at a spot they scamper and rush the feed to the extent that they choke each other and wound themselves. Like yesterday while I was feeding them, they clustered around at one spot, by the time they finished eating, I saw about 5 of the big ones with deep cuts on the head and bodies.. How can I prevent such cannibalism? Will the wounded survive the cuts? I just tire walahi... Since last 3weeks I've been trying to save my fishes from skin peeling, and now this!

Fish scamper for feed a lot especially when they are grown. Try and increase your bearing while feeding, throw the feed backwards a bit from that spot. dont worry the wounded will surely survive the cuts.

Don't be too worried, that's their nature, the bruises will heal up.. this is different from cannibalism.

Greetings my people.
After one fish jumped out, abt 3days later, another one also jumped out despite that I reduced their water. When i saw d fish, i killed it, cut immediately and put in d fridge cos I was rushing off to work. I enjoyed the peppersoup in the evening.
I started covering the 3/4 of the pond with net every night. I stopped covering them when I noticed foam on top the water which I felt was a sign of lack of oxygen.

The fish will be 4months 2week by Monday ( from day I stocked). They are due for harvest, but I am waiting for their bag of feed to finish b4 I sell. It may be in one to 2weeks. Mycolleague/mentor will help me during sale.

Somehow, I feel I will not recover my money cos I had lots of mortality. But the experience was worth it.

You guys don't ask after me.

Started selling and dammmmm, the iya oloja experience you guys described here is not as worst and bad as I experienced yesterday. I also had to begin to call on Jesus name. Two pumping machines malfunctioned.

Still sold in the end but had to return some of my fishes after I shouted on one.

Hello ma, we are together ooo..

Its a good thing we shared with you what you might encounter with this iya eleja people. When I wrote my story about how my pumping machine got faulty ny their craft some thought I was making up stories.

Just like I told you before, be strict and tough. Be in charge no room for loopholes. Don't be pressured to sell your fishes. I pray you will come out victorious over this eleja women. Don't forget to calculate and record what you have sold so far.

Selling of fish has now turned to spiritual matter. sales is a simple thing, all it takes is to negotiate price bring out the fishes weigh them and calculate. shikena. Na only God go save us from these weird creatures called iya eleja. How much did you sell per kg?
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by cross234(m): 7:51pm On Jul 13, 2015

@ Aquadude15. wow what a great story there. thanks for sharing. The thing is that there is no success without a story to tell. we all have our own story. Even me battle with fries motility for months last year, to the point that I almost leave the business. I had even at one time dusted my certificate and ready to go and search for work before things turns around for good again.
To make matter worst my wife was frustrated about the whole situation and I lost her support. I tell you it was not easy. I had to support myself with other means, at least to feed my family. for the first time in my life I was in serious debt. what an ugly time it was. But one thing I get from hatching is that the process keep changing. If I have a success with one batch, the process may not work for another batch. So I keep changing method. I know few people that have called it quit with hatching. But one thing is sure Winners Never Quit and Quitters never win.
With God all things are possible...
