please house how truth is this,

In using concrete pond, the fish only consume what you give to them unlike in earthen pond where they can get natural foods from the soil. my advice is to line the bottom of the concrete pond with clay soil to about 0.15 meters high. i do mix the clay soil with chicken manure before lining at the bottom of the concrete tank, this help to produce natural food in the pond and also create natural habitat for the fish

@ Robonski15: I have been trying to get your Gelatin feed, but all the distributors within my location (Abraka, Delta State) do not have the pelleted one. How can I order directly? Secondly, please change to contact on the Gelatin Ad to the one you guys pick. I have called the line, 09054672750 more than twenty times without any one answering or returning my calls. Robonski15

I posted toasted soya not soya meal and it is quite cheaper. Also, when quoting me, the ID is ab1x so that I will be able to reply on time.

People should help me prevail on Mr Robonski to supply my juvenile since i February 11, 2016. I have try as much as possible not to bring this to the forum simply because i wanted to respect individual business right but he has not kept his part of the agreement even after he promise to deliver on the 20th which lapse on Sunday and there has not been call or message from him or any of his associate.

Is this the way you intend to help upcoming farmers? I dont understand the continual delay in supply despite initial promise that supply will be made one week after payment. Your sale manager told me there are juveniles on ground but he needs you to give him the go ahead of which you have intentionally denied to give. Remember i have to scan the teller of payment to your e-mail at the instance of Mr Soft777 who said there was a mix-up and yet you failed to supply the juveniles.

Mr Nuvembarz, Phemmy, Ayosat, Ab1x and others that have direct contact of Mr Robonski & Soft 777 should prevail on them to do the needful. We have come a long way to build relationship and establish integrity, i dont want to be seen as someone who would tarnish such image.

Thank you so much @ Ttalk. I want to commend your patience and maturity. I am sure that something must be wrong somewhere. I promise to step into the matter. I am sure that it'll be resolved amicably very soon.
Thank you once again for constructively making your grieviance known.

I think bily makes sense,considering most of our foreign counterparts use trash fish in production of a more desirable fish species.. its just like exploiting the ecological niche and food chain ... Most of the so called trash fish are the most prolific (multiply their numbers rapidly) and so can never be overfished or extinct. Have we ever thought of what fish species are used for making fish meal...? for all I care it could be our very own tilapia which they labeled as an invasive specie that needs to be curled from their water bodies . and we spend so much on what we have in abundance due to ignorance. Please we would be doing ourselves much good if we can try to research. Someone posted on this thread that he got great results from using frozen fish which is cheaper in comparison to fishmeal . We could carry out our own experiment... set 10 to 20 fingerlings aside ,feed 10 with frozen fish formula , the other 10 on trash fish formulated feed and the rest of your stock as control group can be fed on fish meal if you are a fan . then check the growth rate throughout the production cycle of 5 to 6 months. I'm sure we will benefit a lot from such. Thanks
Thank you for your submission. I strongly support your advocacy for research.

Wishing you all the very best!!!

Yes it's stated in the report that the best result was when the 2 was combined with the same ratio, but used individually, the difference i's negligible, hence does not justify the wide price margin, which BTW, has been my point all along.

I'm sure someone would have gained something from the discuss.

Peace
nice one bro and i really get your point. the problem some of us farmers have is that we get too carried away with figures and we get fixated with just one way of doing things! d difference between both components as affecting outcome is not significant at all. so many researches out there that replaced fish meal with wonderful results. i have in d past replaced fish meal with cerelac waste with wonderful results too. another thing about result is that it varies and its a function of time(duration) and cost. some have replaced animal protein totally with plant protein(while increasing nutrients like methionine and lysine) and achieved targeted growth tho in a longer time. this argument brings to mind d issue of earthen/ concrete or plastic ponds and i just marvel at some of d responses cos its easy to say one is better than d other cos u use that and practice good management, but doesn't mean i will get same result. so i like it when we make points based on researches and what we practice without imposing our facts as if its the only way of doing things.... regards
