I noticed that too. Weather condition can of course have a great influence on the fish eating habit all other things being equal. You've nothing to worry about. Just ensure that their water is always clean and you feed them regularly. In due time, they will starting again.

But how can I achieve regular clean water using earthen pond? If I am adding new water regularly, hope its okay.

It depends on the type of pond you're using for instance if it is flow through method, you don't need to change water till the very last day. However if it is the stagnant one, you need to change their water every two weeks and also pump fresh water on them once in a while. The bottom line is fresh water makes fish eat more, stay healthy and avoid unnecessary sickness which hitherto saves cost.

buy and stock up while these offers last.

First Principle: ^^^ or is ur farm located in agoro farm?

Feed them 6% of their body weight. You can project their body weight from average weight. Ensure they are eating otherwise you are polluting the water. Another method is to spot feed.

feed they btw 4-6 % totally body weight daily,overfeeding brings pollution,diseases and death, if u want to increase a bit,make sure your are doing flowthru(good/clean water mgt),divide d feed to two or three times depending on water mgt,NOTE- we are in cold season,they will respond better in warm water & oxygen is generally low in d morning,except u are doing flowthru/using aerator,concerning feed,water mgt & temp plays a key role to result

I'm sure that there will be people willing to render assistance to you at Ikangba. I know there are a lot people there. Please do talk with people in your farm to see if they can be of help or if that does not work, then go to where u make local feeds before am sure they will be willing to give the feeds to you on credit. That's the way things are run.

You're welcome on board. My take is there is no specific amount of feeds that I can recommend for your fish. While 1000pieces of fish that are at age can eat 2mm 15KG for 4 days, another 1000 pieces else where can eat 2mm 15KG for 5days or more. It all depends on the way you manage your farm. Please ensure their water is clean at all times, make use of on a spot feeding technique and also take time to feed them very well without pouring the feeds into the water any how, when they are okay with the feeds they will naturally leave the spot while some fish can still stay on the spot and there is nothing you can do to make them scatter but you need to observe their mouth and the feeds to be able to determine if they are picking it. I'll advise you feed them twice in a day that is morning & evening. Forn ow, coppens is still the best so I will advise you to get that. At this stage, they should be eating 2mm now. Hope that helps ?
