Good day house, I must say that I appreciate everyone in the house your advise and openness has really helped several including my very self. About 6 days ago before getting this thread I had stocked 1,220 fingerlings which I bought from a fish farm but each day since I stocked the juvenile I always see scull & body of dead fishes in the pond infact currently I have lost count of the dead fish. In my curiosity I started bowing and i stumbled on this thread & read about the salt & bitter leaf therapy so i used both for my pond & fish treatment I also did some sorting because I noticed that some where seriously bigger than the rest & since yesterday i have seen some improvement. Thank you so much 1 Like |

chuksogb:fish is sold in kg, and kg prices varies, some sell 1kg for 500, some for 600 depending on location and the buyer, what it means is that if a fish weigh 1kg, the buyer will pay the agreed amount per kg (450,500,600), if ten fishes weigh 12kg, u will be paid 6000naira if u are selling at 500naira per kg 1 Like |

Okay my guys. I made profit (in terms of financial input) in my first attempt and gained lots of experience. Thanks to all in d house. The quantity I stocked was very small,hence buyers were not so interested and was pricing it ridiculously. I took the fish to a fish seller friend that stays infront one of our offices to sell for me. I got double of what the others were pricing. I don't know if this arrangement will be feasible in the long run. I didn't sort ( cos I had only a cut tank as pond and doing this test phase in a rented apartment without the knowledge or consent of my landlord.) This made the big fishes very big and most of the others fell into the smaller size. I lost so many fishes at the earlier stage due to sickness. The sickness stopped when I started cleaning the sides of the pond with rag during each water change. This reduced the build up of algae. When the fishes grew big, they started jumping away from the pond. I reduced their water drastically, so they couldn't practise their jumping and summersaulting skills. When next I stock , I will make sure they are covered with fishing net. I used a mosquito net to cover them when they were much smaller but removed it when they grew bigger so that they could get enough air. Also rain was rusting the mosquito net. Many thanks to robonski and Abix for their mentorship and forumites for their contribution. Abix remedy helped during the crisis stage/death. I would reduce the water to the barest minimum, mix oxyace (the yellow powder)...+ wood ash + small salt and pour in the pond. It will pain the fishes and the would want to run away from the pond. I will send them on 48 hour fasting or 24 hour fasting and breaking their fast with reduce food. After the fast, the water will be changed, give them time to rest and give them small food, b4 commencing regular dose. In my experience, all those packaged fish medicine na wash. 1 Like |

For newbies, If your are doing a concrete pond, please chain it at least once or twice. A friend's pond fell two weeks ago and he lost about 200 pieces of 8months fish. This is despite effort to save the fish as the attendant heard the noise around 3am and woke . at the end abt 200 were missing. 1 Like 1 Share |

[quote author=chuksogb post=37611991] 2 is it a must dat every fresher must loose at first try. Its not a must for every fresher to lose. I harvested my first fish some days ago and to the glory of God. I made some profit and I believe my next trial will be more profitable. Thanks to d likes of obonski and Abix |

mercylicious:Congrats to you, we go wash am oo lol. It's a good thing you followed every advice and instruction by members of this thread hence the result. Just imagine if you had stocked 10k fishes, by now you would have been driving a range rover sport . What are ur plans for the next batch?. I feel for your friend regarding his collapsed pond, I have had my own fair share of a collapsed pond. I had about 10k fingerlings I wanted to sell, the buyer concluded he will pick them up the next day, could you believe that night the pond collapsed and even fell the fence close to it, all the fingerlings was gone. When I saw what happened I sat down on the floor ( five minute madnessss) . All my money was washed away. Anytime I remember that incidence I just laugh it off.. Pillars should be mounted at the at both side of the pond to withstand the any form of collapse. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 9:16pm On Sep 06, 2015 |
About 3 years ago, I stocked just a thousand fishes and failed terribly, I wasn't really perturbed because this failure was a learning in disguise, I met a guy on here(nairaland) he sold me runts.. My very good friend deceived me in stocking a thousand fishes in a space I would stock just 100 fishes if I were to re start my fish business. My challenges then were literally the most challenging ones. - Space - water - Good fishes Fast forward three years, A friend's neighbor that used to come check my kekere pond then found the business both viable and interesting and is ready to invest big and wants me involved.. I'm just a bit nervous if I can manage 10,000 fishes from my 1000 fishes experience. |
