You should make use of salt to treat them. Whenever you drain their water, try as much as possible to spread the salt all over your pond and leave them for few minutes before pumping fresh water in.

Since u've decided to feed your fish with maggot, u will need to treat them with salt whenever u change their water. This is to prevent any disease outbreak which may terminate the life of your fish. You can't feed your fish through out with maggots. I don't usually advise people to make use of maggot since the process is cumbersome and one can even contact disease from the kitchen shi.t. Fish farming biz has gone beyong straining yourself or using shortcut, there are ways you can reduce the cost of feeds and still make huge profit.

Give your fish enough floating feeds before changing to a local feeds. To reduce cost, make use of 20% FM on 100KG.

When they clock 8 weeks, you can change their water and use 10Kilo of salt to treat them.

The one that I use is per harvest. I think it is better you get the one u call fake and u used it per harvest. Perhaps, it is just 4K and you can use it for like 2-5 times depending on the size of ur pond. I don't like repeating net because it can cause sickness to the fish.
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by TOKUGAWA(m): 2:14pm On Nov 12, 2013
The fake nets gets torn at the slightest.The size of my pond is 50/50 ft.By the way where can I get one in shagamu(ijebu axis or Agege axis.

You can change their water and treat them with salt as soon as they finish with the present bag they are eating. You can then switch to local feeds. Make use of the formular that I recommended in my previous post on this thread and come back few weeks after to come and give testimony.

Yes, you can use salt to treat ur fish in concrete pond too. The amount of salt depends on the size of ur pond and how many pieces of fish u have therein. You will make sure there is water in the pond to cover your fish before applying salt.

I have never sold fingerlings or juvenile to anyone on this thread b4 niether has ab1x sold too.. The question is who always advertise fingerlings and juvenile on every catfish thread??.. All fingers points down to AYOSAT and AQUATIC1... Its none other than one of these two people... Tokugawa rightly said the fellow also shares inputs on this thread, and I don't think ayosat is active on this thread like aquatic1..

Mr tokugawa pls identify the person and let's thrash out issues here.. Thanks
hi fellow farmers.[quote author=robonski.. please people try to get your facts well before pointing acusing fingers to someone. The fact that i dont participate regularly does not mean that i dont go thru the pages from time to time when i have time. All that took my time is to make sure that my customers gets the best, and how i wish to be here to contribute, but not to compromise. But thank GOD non of my customers ever complain about my stock or else they wont keep coming back, because it not about selling only, i always ask about the space in which it is going to be kept and i always give instrutions on how they should manage it when i sell my fish. I dont sell runts and i dont sell sick fish.
