micgray100: Sir, treatment of pond and fertilization of pond are two different things but closely related while the former is meant to treat the pond of diseases, the later introduces micro organism that the fish feed on. This bring about another controversial issue about FERTILISATION and my question is how do you separate harmful micro organism from the beneficial ones? Yes you could achieve a head start compare to who does not fertilise his pond but you risk a higher outbreak of disease because what it takes is just a trigger caused by stress and there would be an outbreak of disease. To me the odds are much on the side of fertilised pond |

Ttalk:not to negate anything,but raise issues.All d treatment cost a bit,just little.When you do screeding,it would cause nothing less & most of d pathogenic buildup would have been covered & destroyed,but d pond would have being reinforce somehow,use of water will only makes it look as if u just have a new pond.What i can only bring out is my bro well done sir,i wrote recently h2o can b use ponds after cement |

[quote author=excelsiorfarm post=54173586][/quote] In fish farm management there are lots of trial and error and we blame it on the farm management. The use of ordinary water is one of it. Its efficacy is not guarantee but the use of cement do This is a proven method that works. What used to be the practise is rapidly changing but Africa have refused to change. We play by the rule and observe the standard failing to realise that the rule has changed 1 Like |

Ttalk:your quote,wash with water, just to spot that |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 10:07pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
Ttalk:because of the thousands of newbies in quote,i always ask questions. For those that do trial & error,they could have issues,but even from beginning of this thread i state things with proof & say go do it and come testify. Use of water to flush after construction is guarantee & doing screeding is working on your pond i.e renovation work(making new). i dont do rules,read my post,i challenge/ broke them. from aerator etc. & at times what is claim to be new always isn't new. Even here i see some innovation,so africans are innovating. And a lot here isn't trial/error 1 Like |

Let me explain how one can use cement to treat pond. Mix with water, spinkle on the wall and on the ground of the pond. If there cracked area, screed with cement allow to dry then wash with fresh water. This work on abandoned ponds and others where there is history of mortality. @ Excellesior i understand your point but for the sake of newbie the use of filling pond with water especially old ponds with no knowledge of the present or otherwise of pathogen could be dangerous. And since we all agree that pathogen and bacterials are integral part of pond environment, any thing that would reduce their population is welcome. Mind you there are fungi and bacterial that trives in fresh and clean well oxygenated water. Research on Columnaris and Saprogenia will give us a clearer idea on this 2 Likes |

bro Ttalk well done bacteria differs,under every condition,there are organisms that strive in them,even when oxygen,light etc. are absent. |

idee91: You are welcome bro. Pls come back to share your experience. This reminds me of fingerling i bought from our own Robonski himself. The set are the best u ever got though it was delivered late. Better than what i got from an Israelis. The growth were like miracle. That was when i discovered that melange production could be a treasure. Then wonder when there arose complain about fish mortality and and stunted growth from some of our colleague. The concern might be genuine but the outpouring was so demoralising. The point is we should have confidence in ourselves through genuine critisism and not outright codemnation 1 Like |

HI Greatminds, I have a question, and swift response will go a long way in saving my farm.the question goes like this; i am trying to switch to local feeds, but i noticed that my fishes are not eating the feeds, but each time i give them foreign, they dont keep calm at all, they finish it in no time, I do not know if it is the weather that`s affecting them or they just dont want to adapt to the local feed, cos i reasoned that if it was the weather, they would have rejected the foreign too. what could I possibly do to increase their appetite for the local feeds...it is an earthen pond, the foreign(Durante) they are taking is 4mm, and the local is 2mm, by 10th of march they will be 3months in the pond.. Thanks in advance 1 Like |

Changing from forein feed to local requires a lot of patience. First the fish that has been eating foreign feed from birth are going to be resistant to local for somretimes. This is because they are used to that particular taste. On the other hand, most locals are not shape the way foreign feed are shaped that enhances easy picking. Also foreign feed are externally coated with fish oil and it act as attractant and fortified with other appertiser and the extrusion procees also make the feed palatable. Let me explain that it takesat least 2weeks for catfish to naturally adjust to local and their size at the time of changing determine their quick response to local. In melange production, time is very important, so waiting for as long as 2week could affect lenght of your harvest. What you need to do is to introduce your local gradually alongside your foreign and start to reduce your foreign as time goes on. Other method is to fortified your first local with fishmeal like 40% inclusion in your feed and gradually reduce the fishmeal percentage in your formulation. This is excellent method when you target tablesize. Note that i deliberately did not recommend any multivitamin or appetite booster because the situation on ground is natural anddoes not require that 2 Likes |
