Hello sir, u need to search at the feed market at ota, if u can't find then I guess u have to come to lagos to purchase it..
samshoz: I asked for ziegler at Sabina stores(major feed distributor) at Abatior oko oba dnt have. Where do u get? Ayosat: Ziegler is very much available. But not at Sabina but at one of the stores at abattoir first gate. (i think they call the place mogaji stores ) they are a major distributor of zeigler fish food.

u can buy from them,understand this term inbreeding,meaning for best result(in lay man meaning),family members shouldnt cross i.e if u buy male somewhere,u purchase d female eslewhere.

excelsiorfarm: hmmm, what i know is no feed kills fishes,it is either d feed isn't palatable & d fishes hardly eat it,poor nutrient content & they won't grow well. more, is if d feed isn't properly dry & have been affected by aflatoxin/fungi

so you see all these can indirectly make the feed to kill the fishes, just as no natural food can kill humans except if these factors you listed are added to the food.

all the characteristics i stated can cause problem,but note, u cannot conclude on that feed,remember u washed yr pond,mayb it is yr pond that is infected then or water mgt/handling of yr fishes.some uses d feed & no problem.All d best

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft77: 5:47pm On Aug 04, 2013
LETS GO TO THE DRAWNING BOARD

Let's say u stock 5000 melange..
The buyers takes an everage weight of 28kg per bowl, because of easy transportation... The price for melange as at now is #350..Sometimes I get 8 bowls of melange per 1000 melange.. Hope u understand?? What I mean is this: if I stock 1000 melange I will get 8 bowls or 9 bowls at harvest..

8 bowls multiply be 28kg = 224kg
224kg multiply by #350 = #78400

If you stock 5000 that will give you #392,000 in just three months..

Melange farming is good when you have high capacity farm, that has a hatchery and nursery ponds and you keep hatching and stocking in mass.. To be continued
