How did u go about yr mgt?how many is d fishes,size of pond & how much did u put in?(it isnt me), but i guess we can learn from every experience sir, what were their weight? Base on this answer, we get better insight, your guy might not even be at fault sir |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 7:20pm On Nov 03, 2013 |
mike58: Hello erry1 *normally u should get 10% of the body weight for eggs, concerning fries, u dont count yr fries until u raise them, from a 1.5kg fish u can get 20000 or more,even 1000 or less, that is reality,ask those that will tell u d truth, it depends on d quality of broodstock,your hatchery technique & mgt, it is best u use at least 1.5kg-2.5kg for easy manipulatn,can use bigger size if u have experience, though at times they mess up. |

Bought 1500 juveniles(nt different from fingerlins).I am not a new farmer but I needed somthing different that's why I got the fishes from him) I used an erthen pond,I noticed they don't eat,I complained here on dis forum.I even spoke to him about it.I used all sorts of treatment,took great care of them,water was flowing trough well.But the fishes don't grow,except like 18% of the entire fish population.I sold dem on friday,my bro I cnt just tell u my experience.I intended using d proceeds for my wedding in december. why I invested massively on d fish. My last harvest in june was better than this despite buying my stock from a relative.D guy is not excelsior,robonski or abx1. |

My brother I am short of words.. Anyways I know the person u are talking about VERY well.. I understand how u feel but this is nigeria u don't trust anyone even on this thread.. Some people are dim wits who don't care about doing the right thing in business.. He sold runts to u because of his own sales and selfish aggrandisement and made u spend lots of money in feeding them and also your precious time.. Its a lesson learnt, u just have to move on and let by gone be by gone.. But pls don't expose the person... Thanks |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft77: 11:30am On Nov 04, 2013 |
i believe the nairalanda that sold those runts should be exposed .this one of the reasons of this forum ,or else the person will still continue to do same thing to other nairalandas which will not be in the best intrest of this forum .pls expose him and lets see how he defends himself here. or maybe ur the one with not good proper management ?? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft77: 11:32am On Nov 04, 2013 |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft77: 11:54am On Nov 04, 2013 |
stocking runts is a very big mistake anyhow u look at it , u will loose , i advise that if u have were , u buy ur fingerlings or juvenile, always go there in advance to see the fishes when thy are fries. It doesent matter if u go to ur seller and see the fries sevral times before they become fingerllings or juvenile , u can even pay part payment so the hatchry can consider urs first, that way u get to get first shooters or second shooters and also u will have knowledge of the fishes if they are sick or fish thats doing well... and for those who already got runts i made this same mistake of stocking runts last year believe me its a bad story .but i actually made little profit . so for those who had runts now what i advice . mix any good fish growth powder booster with there food , when u buy lets say coopens 15kg a bag mix about 3 sarchet of any good fish booster in the feed, this means for 5kg feed, u add 1 sachet that sells for 300 naira and also when u change there water as in concrate , tarpaulin or plastic ponds ,buy also the liquid fish booster and mix with there water when changing the water . actualy runts are fish that lacks the esential vitamins,minerals and hormones that make them grow like the shooters or we say normal fish . so they need this boosters to replace the lost minerals and vitamins and it helps kick start there growth hormnones , i tried it and after a month my runts start to grow normal . and i did not run at a lost when i sold . Am not encouraging any one to buy runts but only ofering a solution incase u are missled to buy them, better to save ur capital than loose all. the best practice is to buy shooters from reputable hatchries . . 1 Like |

Am not encouraging any one to buy runts but only ofering a solution incase u are missled to buy them, better to save ur capital than loose all. the best practice is to buy shooters from reputable hatchries .by the way,I use an earthen pond.I managed them very well,I mean very very well.it was not my 1st n 2nd time.the guy gave me a guaranttee abt d fish.I 1st noticed them when they started eating without growing.some times they don't finish 2 bags in a months.I called d guy,he said I shouldn't worry that my fish doesn't want me to spend a lot.I sounded ludicrous but I believed him cos I had lots of tilapia in d pond.I had reliable places I could go n buy. But I wanted to try something different due to his several writeups,comments and adverts on here.Its really painful.I don't wnt to disclose d name here as Robonski earlier said.But its not Abx1,excelsior or robonski |
