Re: Hidden Truth About Catfish Farming.
I would first like to commend the writer for coming out openly with the fact that catfish farming is not so easy to do and get rich.
Like other businesses, it has its up and down, especially, when the producer does not know so much about the process of production that results in profit.

Catfish farming is not about how big the investment is.

I have seen some big fish farms with many pond facilities and personnel close and those stocking 200 pieces selling at profit .

It all depends on what you know

swissflow:
Good everyone. Great of you all to share your expertise so freely. Indeed we still have great people in this country. I have a few questions, I am preparing, training and investing into fish farming at the moment; so I want to find out if there are people here who understand, are using/have used and/or installs RECIRCULATION AQUACULTURE SYSTEM in whatever scale. Also, does anyone know how to use low wattage submersible water pump with catfish? It is used with koi fish but I am trying to experiment with catfish.
Thank you as you respond.

excelsiorfarm:
State your question. The submersible pump in question, how does it run,purpose? your answer would allow you get a valid response. if it didnt harm Koi,it would do better for catfish,but i want the working of your pump in question & you get an analysis. Aside the detail that low wattage.

swissflow:


What kind of biological filters are available?
Do you necessarily need to infuse oxygen/ozone?
What is the stocking rate when using complete RAS?
Are you allowed to switch off you RAS for some hours?

I have some pumps that can push 16000L/hr for a meagre 150W but the are submersible.

gloriousfarms:

Noted sir, but wont the force of the pumping machine affect the fingerlings while draining?
Thanks for your response.
Cover the mouth of the hose/pipe with net in order to leave fingerlings undrained.

Interesting, what is the name of the pump and at what depth?

If you have enough water and where to dispose water all year round, flow through may be ideal when considering the cost implication and profit.

The number of fish stock is a function of dissolve oxygen in your pond. Other means that proved to be less expensive to run and still give increased dissolve oxygen has been introduction of aerator and flow through system

excelsiorfarm:
i believe belexy will take note. I am not on any whatsapp group & i dont use whatsapp again.

excelsiorfarm:
buy those white plastic tanks with iron guard & cut it into two. Iam not in lkorudu area,hence i cant give a location to source one.

Star30:

Sir what could cause fish hanging n stooling blood and later died

Akobi24:
Thanks

Star30:
i guess the farmer lacks the business sense in fishfarming,because it is not economical,even if he/she claims to be in fishfarming enterprise for 30years,except what he claim to be fingerlings are all runts. Not common practice, though everyone is creating their own way,but not every way is defined as good.

Hello sir what could be the cause of a fish hanging and stooling dark blood then later died?

excelsiorfarm:
use aerator,saves cost & reduce management.

Better your RAS run continuously,though a few hours(if your long) wont impact much,but why increase your investment imput,when many are back to dripping or flowthrough system of fish farming? not at this period of high fuel cost & imaginary light. The more oxygen in your water,the more healthy & growth for your fishes. For a well built or constructed RAS, 6-8 litres per fish. You have the spongy,foam,screen biofilter etc.,talking about the filter element.

Nobody with enough water & good pump will waste funds for RAS.

GOLDLOVER:
Hello, I am considering getting an aerator. Can I use it with my tarpauline ponds? How many do I need? I have 3 ponds. And how much does it cost? Thanks.
