If you want to quote me to drive home your point, or add credibility to your post, I think at this stage you should have the magnanimity and some decency to type my name in full. Your keyboard is not short of ink. Don't think you'll be doing me a favour, I actually joined this forum to support people like you, nothing in this whole 500+ pages that I need. Learn to promote others and give credit to whom it's due. Nobody is fish77..... in this forum
Fish4wealth:
Greetings fellow professionals.... It's been a while here...good to have a number of new catfish farmers onboard...
Reading through tells a lot about how some of us are getting it right and others, not really achieving desired results.

In agreement with @fish77.....it is important and strongly advisable for newbies to either take out time to read through this thread or request a mentorship to avoid ugly stories.

I hope to share a number of topics as i do on my whatsapp gtoup relating to catfish marketing and sales, Catfish financing, Feeding techniques, pond and water management, catfish farm records, etc on this thread very soon.

For one-on-one coaching(whatsapp 081....537...016...13)

Happy farming!
Happy Investment!

The first thing to do is stop feeding.
Change the water , use salt solution , with tetracycline, and monitor for improvement.

tarpaulin pond, I feed morning and night, I change water twice a week and the are a month old from juvenile. some have not even added since then up till now.

I will be simple and straight . follow the simple step (if u like though)
1- take the fish out of their currrent pond
2. wash the pond with salt solution. (for about 30 min)
3.rinse the pond with fresh water .
4. salt dry the pond over the night
Day 2
5- Return the fish back to the pond and treat them with potassium permaganet until the water become light redish while the water level is low (make sure the solution goes round the pond) add some quantity of salt into the water
note : observe the fish on how they react to treatment e.g gasping for air at the top of the water or swimming erratically,or scrubing their skin on the wall .
at this stage u should know that the chemical is too much then dilute the water .
6- if the fish do not react abnormally then allow the treatment for 3days before replace with fresh water using flow through.
7- if u observe this properly, u should experience reduction in the casualty until it stops totally cos there would have some fish that are already seriously affected and they will die except if u apply some other serious treatment that is tedious.
8- stop feeding for about 2 days and on resuming feeding use spot feeding only and very small quantity.
Good luck. if u need more clearity dont hesitate to dial my number 08 one zero zero zero 900 four zero.

Good evening everyone,
It's been great following this trend.
But please I need an enlightenment on the use of hydrated lime to treat my acidic water to be used for hatchery in a tarpaulin tank.
Is it safer than the use of plant method?
Please

You are expected to be changing your water everyday, with your feeding schedule. Change your water regularly, depending on the capacity of the pond, mix 250g of table salt with water, and also add a sachet of tetracycline (open the capsule). If you do this for 3days, without feeding, mortality will reduce drastically.

nothing bad feeding twice. treat with floxinor. Next time when your fish are not responding to feed, check if water is polluted, check if there are bubbles or foams on the water surface, check if the weather is cold to say a few. That fish do not eat or reduction in feeding rate could be as a result of cold weather.

iF at the same time, they begin to die, then stop feeding and treat with antibiotic or salt, or aquapro or the floxinor mentioned earlier(it will stop death if used to prescription within 2-3 days or earlier), change water and increase oxygen because when weather is extremely cold( NOTE:- oxygen in water reduces)
Those are a few of the solution, i have time to give. I believe all is now well with your farm/fish now. All the best
