Oga excelsior,how good and reliable are Ranaan Feeds?though i know they are made by Israelis,and Israelis are known for thier scientific innovations.I need further clarifications.Thanks.

Thanks to all for your contributions! for locating a good distributor I should be at a saver's side at Abbatoir
@ excesiorfarm, I will consider 5kg after this time, it's insightful for me to know that early expiration of those feed could have a deadly influence.

@roboski,u may not know how helpful your advice meant to me, I will follow it to the letter thanks!

Wow that's wonderful... U have to raise them for three months from fingerlings stage to get to melange stage(300grms to 350 grm) before u sell them off... Note that you can't buy fingerlings and raise them for three months to make a reasonable profit.. U have to hatch them urself!!!

Very true... The federal government was giving out 5 bags of feed and free fingerlings at a subsidized rate through cooperatives for registered farmers... But it has ended some weeks back.. I collected some feed myself but didn't collect the free fingerlings..

Since u have treated them already u don't need to add any other thing except the livestovit... The measurement of the livesovit Is clearly written on the leaflet.. If not u can measure a quarter and add to your pond...

i dont think anyone is avoiding your question. I guess u are interested in weight gain, u need a drug that would aid FCR,aquapro & livestovit will assist,note no magic about it,if yr fishes are 600gram & u expect to hit 1kg in 17 days,u could have starter earlier, clean water will aid better eating rate in fishes,use of aerators too

Gbam... Excelsiorfarm has said it all. As long as the fish are not sick, good multivitamin like livestovit plus clean water will do the trick.
