Forget gurus abeg it is Cost effective & economical on the long run.

Am not here to condemn or criticise but to refer you to your previous post where you requested for a partnership, but your comment here speaks otherwise of your experience and depth knowledge about fish farming. I observed you placed much concern on cost at the early age of fish which raises much concern about your expertise and will make potential investor have a change of mind in partnering with you

Everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion.
We DISAGREE to AGREE,but wat the market demand sometimes makes farmer's find means to cut cost to achieve maximum profit's.
Inasmuch these local feeds(Blue crown&Ecofloat) works&enhance's fish growth i see no reason why i won't use it.
Moreover wat has my previous post request for partnership got to do with this topic well i advise u to stop being an ENEMY of PROGRESS.

If you don't mind, He/She tried to PM me but I changed emails and couldn't respond so I had to reach out to him after seeing the notification here in my profile.

Now to settle you and other friends,

The issue of while patches manifests often due to stress from overcrowding of stock and not very good hygiene. The stock may have developed this due to transportation stress, handling stress, contaminated feed or equipment or not very clean water amongst other things. Adequate stocking density, proper feed storage and other biosecurity measures will help to prevent fish diseases if the stock was originally healthy.

But if an infection occurs like the issue of white patches on the skin of your fish it can be treated with Oxy-TetraCycline or a Constituent of Chloramphenicol prepared for Aquaculture use... Chloramphenicol drugs are stronger and usually target specific organisms unlike OTC which a broad spectrum drug and contains more than one pharmaceutical item. Get the FishBiotic or similar from your local Vet Store... Usually same people who sell feed to you often stock Aquaculture drugs too. Check the pack and follow the dosage instructions. When you complete the therapy, don't forget to apply fish vitamins a day after...

Before starting treatment, if you can...quarantine the infected individuals(to minimize the transmission)... While treating them apply the treatment also to the assumed healthy stock, probably a lower dose and watch both to compare results.

----Preferably mix drugs with the feed---- if you're pelleting your feed this works best. You can mix in the drug before pelleting tho this depends on the type of machine you use anyway...feed formulation is a big topic.

----Before administering medicated feed ensure

*The water is clean.- 70% water exchange should be ok

* To starve the stock for while--If you want to apply the treatment in evening they should not be fed in the morning or afternoon so as to improve appetite and get them really hungry... 24hr off feeding will achieve this.---


In my practice I prepare medicated feed about 1-2hr before feeding to allow the drug bind on the oily feed

If you wish to prepare more than one serving, I'd suggest to prepare only the quantity you can exhaust for a day and store properly as you would store a drug. Unless you have a big refrigerator(Do not freeze o) that can contain the entire medicated feed you prepared for...say three days serving... Not sure what may happen if the mixture is exposed for long time to every nationality in air

Medicated feed is to be prepared according to dosage and used only if the infected stock respond to feeding...

Otherwise do a 100%water exchange, then lower the water level to about 30-40% as much to give them some room to swim but no so much space. This will allow you to properly administer the treatment without unnecessarily diluting the drugs excessively in the tank water and thereby reducing the strength of the drug. Apply treatment daily until symptoms disappear completely.
If you wish to be professional with this type of treatment you should calculate accurately the volume of water in the fish tank and follow the dosage instructions on the pack. Each dose of In-water treatment should be complete after 3hrs.... then you may flush the tank by running flow thru for some time or fill and drain at intervals till the water clears up a bit.

If you wish to use plants... Some call it organic farming ... Bitter leaves, Scent leaves , Paw paw leaves, herbal leaves you can consume raw.. (i haven't used roots o!) All can be juiced/squeezed and applied directly to your fish tank same way you will apply pharmaceutical treatment directly into the tank water.

If you don't mind me saying... In case you do purchase your drugs from the pharmacy...Not to say that it doesn't work but I don't advocate using over the counter drugs for your fishes unless you are able to calculate the actual dosage to the letter.

Secondly, I am NOT against those doing adverts... I only wished like everyone else here to see more 'helpful suggestions to farming challenges' than sales adverts. Adverts are good. The farmer has to sell his products and he has to buy other goods to run his farm. My apologies to you and all if I have conveyed a different idea.

For those who have something to sell... besides advertising here you may also create a thread in the Agriculture section of the website...you will also get views too and probably calls and sales. I do check them out quite often to see what folks got and I've actually made some calls or saved contacts for future use... you'll never know
