Pls oga robonski, what the weight of your fish at maturating after d five months of using ziggler and vital feed.
U said yu stock 1,000 fishes in 10x10 measurement pond, i wanna ask, isn't that too small? when the pond can contain over 3,000fishes

Belexy:

Over 3000 u will just av runts at 5months

excelsiorfarm: hmmmm

Judging by the formula oga exclessior posted early on, 10x10ft pond can house 3,000fishes nau

excelsiorfarm: a simple way to know what to stock, multiply d lenght x breadth x depth x 7.5 x (3.79 us litres) or (4.55 uk litres) = capacity of your pond, u can calculate about btw 10 - 12 litres each, with experience can reduce to 8(great work), u never mentioned depth, any calculation or answer of stocking given, is mere assumption, do d maths & u are free to do your stocking calculation,yourself at any time. Happy Sunday

excelsiorfarm: Your correct calculation for 10x10Ft,lets assume d depth u didnt put is 4Ft i.e 10 X 10 X 4 X 7.5 = 3000 gallons ,now to litres, if US = 3.8 X 3000 = 11400L, if UK = 4.55 x 3000 = 13650L ( 10-12L for each), go back to page 84,i recommended US litres to someone that asked on page 85 =11400 divided by 10 - 12 litres per fish = btw 950 - 1140 fishes for your 10 x 10 FT, I keep to all i say by God's Grace, pls quote me well, dont add or remove whatever i write/say, i go sue u oooh (laugh)

ROBBEN: Guys i am happy to finally be able to say something on this forum i have read several contributions and i must say am impressed, that said my name is Obinna Nwogu i work and live in port harcourt, i have a fish pond in my compound,my ponds are twelve in number(concrete ponds) with a capacity of at least 1500 per pond i started this bussiness a year ago August 2013 i have harvested and sold three time since i started i have enough space to build a hatchery but i am putting that on hold until i get much more experience. from each harvest i learn more and improve by the next harvestso afr i have not lost money neither have i made the money am supposed to make, but am patient and i know that i have a lot to learn and am not rushing. on my three harvest i only stocked five thousand fingerlings, though my pond can contain 18-20000 fingerlings if i decide to stock it fully and i have enough money to feed them for four or five months but that is not what i want for now i want to understand this bussiness very well i do it myself without any more help than from my gateman and my wife.
Gentlemen the essence of this my long and boring story is to ask for help i have harvested three times but i am not impressed with the size of fish i get, mind you i did not say the weigth i said the size, i change my water in my ponds every two to three days i feed them zeigler feed and i buy my feed in bulk i have a dedicated borehole and generator in short i have the ideal facility what i need is to produce the fish of the rigth size and weigth and understand what i need to do to get them to that weigth and size before i stock my farm fully to it maximum capacity.

I need help and advice gentlemen and i know that there are seasoned and experienced farmers on this forum to help me acheive my goal.
as i said before i live in port harcourt. thanks guys expecting your quick and prompt response.

MickyMozay:

Am sorry sir, i mis-understood it. Buh i now understand very well. Thanks

pharmzy: Happy Sunday to everyone. Please I will need to know how often I'm supposed to wash my pond. I use tarpauline. Secondly, I will like to know if a pond with a depth of about 3ft will have any negative impact on the growth of my fishes. Thirdly, will like to know if it's a must that an earthen pond should be constructed in a land near the river.

What is the BB Pin to join novice farmers' group, sir?

We regularly share pictures wen we av fish issues and i knw u like dat

ROBBEN: @excelsiorfarm thanks for your prompt response at the time of harvest i have would have already sorted them into sizes as i sort them three to four times before harvest and i also keep them for at least four months the biiggest sizes are mostly on an average og 0.9-0.8kg while the rest are within the 0.7-0.6kg margin the only medication i give them is this bio that i mix in warm water and sprinke on their feed to aid in digestion and all and i only did that for the last 5000 i stocked .

i just stocked another 5000 fingerlings last week tuesday i want to see what the difference will be with you guidance and advice. i feed twice a day morning and nigth, but when they are small as in when they eat 0.8-1.2 mm i feed them regularly also when they eat 2mm i feed them as often as they are hungry but when they start eating 3mm and 4mm i feed them twice a day.

i have not really used any serious medication for them except that bio (orange pack) sorry i cant remmember the full name now so many things on my mind.i have also noticed that the ones that get to 1kg and above which are a few are not really that big in size.

ROBBEN: the first time i did not change the water as regularly as i did in the second and third one and i did not use anything else apart from just feeding them in all the three harvest i have been able to recoup my capital but really cant say i have made any real profit. in the second one i changed water regularly and fed them well without any medication at all the third time was when i used the bio medication i talked about
i suspect that maybe the species of fingerlings i bougth from someone migth be responsible.

i need to know where to buy the best breed and type of fingerlings that would grow to be large in size and what kind of medication i have to use from this fingerlings stage to get them to be big in three to four months not just a few being big i mean all of them beeing big.

planetfood:

pls oo my Oga excelciorfarm the 10-12 that u use to divide the liters , is it a fix standard in the formular?

excelsiorfarm: last answer, not neccessary, but d land should be able to spring out water & hold water. No negative impact for that depth, except excessive heat(cos of tarpauline), though can cause stress or disease outbreak if extreme, how often u wash depends on some/combination of all these factors; pollution, water change, use of medication(residue), algae buildup, disease observe, age of fish, response to feed. 2-3wks fair, but if u notice change in your fish response to feed earlier, no harm in washing( can easily mob up d slime with foam in case u have no other transfer tank), GOD BLESS, JESUS IS LORD

pharmzy:
Thanks for the prompt response bro. God bless. Pls I will also like to know if the drug(aquapro) you are talking about can be administered to FISH of any age.
