tucurj: pls Nl,how many fish can i raise in a 200(two hundred)litre plastic vat from juvenile to table size,need ur response,dont ignore because of d small quantity,its just for family comsumption,thksUsing 8-10fish/litre stocking density, you can raise 20-25 fish in the vat. You may decide to increase to 30 sha since you are not producing to a target weight . Just make sure you avoid over-stocking so you don't attract its attendant negative consequences. www.WeTalkNaira.com |

ummulakram: am using 1ltrs of tank as d pond so where shld d water level stop for d treatment.And do d NCO serve as remedy for there not eating habit. Certain bacterial infections damage internal organs causing fluid to accumulate in the fish belly leading to a condition known as Dropsy. Antibiotic treatment can be given through feed or inside the pond water. Mix small quantity of NCO, Salt and Potassium Permaganate (PG). (Ashes can replace PG in earthen ponds). Drain the pond water to level barely covering the fish. Sprinkle the mixture over the pond water covering everywhere. Leave them for about 30mins, then start introducing fresh water. Fast your fish for 48hrs and introduce feed to them gradually. I'm sorry I can't get you the recommended dosages (NCO dosage is on the satchet). I just do what works for me. Professionals here can help both of us with that. NB: I'm a novice. www.WeTalkNaira.com 1 Like |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ultrazone(m): 9:52pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
ummulakram:5-7kg of salt/1000 litres of water is ideal. To get a more uniform treatment, dissolve in a bucket of water first. Remember to suspend feeding for a period of 2-3 days during this treatment. www.WeTalkNaira.com |

ultrazone:What of d water level or did mean I shld filled d tank to and add 5-7kg of salt? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Belexy(m): 10:57pm On Aug 14, 2014 |
Dnt put excessive amount of salt in ur pond or else u will av to do pepper soup with all ur 250fishes. Put enough to make d water very slightly salted. I usually leave my fishes in the salt and NCO water for abt an hour before i top it up. My treatment regime lasts 3days. Ur tank is small so a heaped table spoon of NCO shd be okay for the quantity of fish u av, and two sachets of 1kg salt. Apply d first sachet and observe ur fishes. Gradually apply d second sachet of salt and observe dem incase of any 'funny' reactions. Remember not to feed dem. ummulakram: Fill d tank to d barest minimum dat will just cover d fishes but dey will be able to swim or fill the tank to a level dat will get up to ur ankle assuming u are standing in d tank. |

ummulakram:Make sure water covers all your fish. Use the formula to calculate d amount of salt you'll use for the quantity of water present (regardless of the level) www.WeTalkNaira.com |

I've lost not less than 10 so far with many still injured presently.please answerthere is a bacteria infection in your pond and if you have more than one pond it has probably spreads to ur entire farm....it is called finrot . first identify the ones with the sign of finrot (some will have slightly bruse body n red like tail and fin). Get a drug called aquacyril + , isolate the ones with the signs put them in a seperate pond (trust me almost all are infected so you have to treat both the ones with the signs and the ones yet to show sign) make sure water in the two ponds are quite low like ur ankle level and covering all the fish. Mix the drug with water and administer the solution into both pondz . do this for 3 to 5 days without feeding and mortality will stop 2 Likes |

pharmzy: Thanks a lot @entransbug. I bought blagdon antifungus and bacteria. Dnt know if it will workyou can try that too but I have not used it personally but I have friends that use it mostly for preventive measures and it works fine for them. I am use to aquacyril + both for prevention and cure of bacteria infection. For prevention you use it ( either aquacyril or blagdon) to mix their feed for 3-5 days and for cure you use it as I stated in my last post |

robonski15:We decided to test d aerator in a big bowl first because d owner of d farm said he wanted 2c how it work,because he didn't believe it will work so I make use of d bowl and water as u can c. When he saw it he ask me so u mean dis thing is working like dis,he was excited and he saith we should try it in d vert . For safety measure we both concluded dat we should use a bowl dat has many holes in it like rice fitter and use net with smaller hole 2cover d bowl so dat d fish wil not come too close to d aerator. I will do just dat next week
