Need a help/advice from an expect. i just started a catfish farm, like 2 months ago from juvenile stage but currently am having issues in identifying the size of feed (2mm,2.5mm,3mm, etc) to give them so they can grow in size. Also they eat themselves anyhow. please i need an assistance in knowing the kind/type of feed to give them per month and what to do to reduce the cannibalism in my pond. Thanks |

4mm should suit them at this stage, if it doesn't try 6mm. I use durante skretting fish feed. As for the cannibalism I am not so vast in experience to be of help here. |

i tried 4mm recently but seems its still big in size for them to carry. |

As per eating themselves, sorting them into sizes is the best solution patricktoks: 1 Like |

Yeah, I think so, sorting catfish into sizes to avoid cannibalism. Chukwumahike: |

As regards eating themselves ,do sorting weekly or once in two weeks (drain the water to lower level to see their sizes,then separate the big ones from the small ones into two different ponds) |

patricktoks:3mm floating feed should be good for them. However, because of the smaller ones, you have to also use 2mm. Apart from sorting, there are many reasons for cannibalism - over stocking, inadequate feeding etc. |
