Your honest answer's are needed. Thanks.

no 3 option because you can make as much as 200% profit, but you need to get the market

just get experts to drill hole of 4 inch pipe wide deep into the ground & channel all waste water into it.No one will know you do fish farming. I posted the picture of what it looks like years back when i was in benin to train someone on fish farming. then it cost 45-60k. NOTE: I dont do it,hence no need asking further

Hello house,
Feeding 3 months catfish once per day to satiation
Is it ok?
Or will they shrank in size?

if you intend to sell good weight,feed at least twice. If after cutting fat, do once. They will not grow as expected, only good idea when you having extreme cold weather,to avoid pollution or when you want to cut back excessive fat from your broodstock.

Good morning boss, I just started hatchery newly on a new ground/farm. But then all the hatched fishes died after about 2-3 days after, I am strongly suspecting my water. What PH test KIT do you think is best I use and also at a reduced cost. I anticipate your reply.

Thanks.

Hello sir you can get the digital test Kit for PH.

I have already done this. Upto 300ft. Yet it gets filled up. Not giving the desired service. On inquiry, I discovered that it works only in areas with what they call circulation. I am really confused. I have hostile neighbours.

friends cant be hostile,maybe you had oppress them with your attitude before. That aside, iam not an engineer,but an agronomist/farmer. I think those that did your job lack experience or the knowledge of such drainage. 300ft for what? if close to benin visit saintugo to make verification & if going give my regards to him.

Most likely the water you used is the problem. For hatching use borehole water preferably. Don't use tap or government water that contains chlorine. Also make sure you don't overfeed so that does not spoil the water quality. Lastly don't allow rain or any other water to mix with the tiny fingerlings because they are highly susceptible to temperature changes.

Hope this helps

About the water:

I use borehole provided water.
And it is direct from the tank, after which it must have settled in the tank though...
No, they were not overfed, because they haven't even started eating, it was barely after a day of survival they dropped.
The hatchery is well covered to prevent rain water or too much sun. cry


I just tire embarassed

Hello house,
I just stumbled on this thread and wow it is really educative. I want to venture into fish farming and I want to use Benuwats trampauline for 2 4,000lt tanks in Abuja. The area I stay has pipe Bourne water, is this ok for fish farming because almost everyone has been talking of borehole water. I also hope to start with 1,000 juveniles of catfish and would like to know the quantity of feed required till they reach table size.

I have been reading some ebooks and visited a farm but I would be grateful if the poster (who appears to have a lot of hands on experience) to help out. Especially the consumption rate for 1000 juves so I will know what to prepare my budget. Thanks!
