Hello great intending and professional catfish farmers....I've read with great interest so many threads on catfish farming...kudos to the patriotic Catfish farmers for their invaluable contributions in helping out on so many challenges facing farmers in this sub sector.
In growing attractive and profitable catfish...the following are expedient from my experience:
1. Get the right seedlings, fingerlings, juveniles from a good source with good track records.
2.Feed your fish with the right size of feeds at their first two months of stocking.
3. Maintain a clean and appropriate water quality for the fish.
4. Do sorting if not earthen pond as at when due..and check your average weight and quantity.
5. Feed your fish with quality feeds, don't compromise.
6. Maintain good pond management.
7. Do not be in haste to sell off your fish...be sure they are very ready for sales.
8. Calculate your total expenditure per fish to determine your prize margin...
9. Never give up on your first harvest if it falls short of expectation.
10. Secure your market first few months prior to harvest....
Wishing you all a profitable catfish business.

How many months are this fishes?

The broods are more than a year old, the growouts are three months from hatching and the juveniles will be five weeks.

In growing attractive and profitable catfish, every catfish farmer must identify their area of strength...... This could be fries/fingerlings production, raising table size or raising brood stock.
Each of these needs considerable technical skills and financial inputs....
*How attractive are your fingerlings in size and activeness.
*How attractive is your broods in terms of eggs and milt.
It is important thst catfish farmers give adequate attention to discover their best niche to get encouraging results.
