Ask these people that can pump water out of fish ponds to help you apply LIME to the pond. They know the quantity to apply. After about a week, ask them to pump out water where they added LIME again (some people will tell you it is not necessary to pump water out again because as water increases in the pond, the water will dilute the lime so that it won't affect your fish. But I once saw where the lime was not diluted and it killed all fishes).

Use net to cover the pond appropriately to avoid frog and any other predators from entering your pond.

If water is flowing from nearby pond to your pond, seal it because diseases can pass from a pond to another.

Ensure you get your fingerlings or juveniles from a reputable supplier.

For prevention of diseases, add 5kg of salt to the pond every 30 days. If your pond water turns black or is smelling, stop feeding for about 2 days and give half of what can satisfy them until your water becomes normal. You will get this kind of salt from feedmills. It is cheap, not pure iodised salts o.

Mix fishmycin drug to your fish feed to prevent diseases. If you are using floating feeds, add 2g (gramme) to 1kg of feed. Let say you are going to the pond this morning, measure the kg you want to give and mix drug, not that you will add drugs to what they will finish in a week today. If it is pellets you buy from feed Mills, you can also add drugs every morning, but if the feed is made by you, you will add the whole drug at once the day you make it(I will show how to make your own feed). To add drugs to floating feed or pellets you buy from feed Mills, add small water to your feed to make it wet so that powdery drug can stick to it when you mix. Add 2g of fishmycin to 1kg of feed. A sachet of fishmycin is 100g. To measure 2g, divide a sachet into 10. Each portion has 10g. Divide a portion from the 10portions into 5 again, each portion here has 2g. It's rare to get a scale that can measure in grammes. It's advisable you buy juveniles instead of fingerlings because you are just starting and it's not easy to know how to feed fingerlings if you are a new comer. We use SINKER feed for fingerlings. Use 2mm of floating feed for juveniles for about a month. 2mm floating feeds are usually costly especially if you buy imported ones like Alleraqua brand. Nigerian brands are cheap like 3k difference or more, but imported ones are certified quality which will show on rapid growth of your fish.
Use 4mm of floating feed for about a week. Your fish must have grown to be able to pick 4mm pelletized feed.

It's advisable you make your own feed to ensure profit. I will give you formula to use. There are some feed Mills that will do pelletizing for you once you take your ingredients there. You just buy ingredients at accurate quantity you want and take it there. If there is anyone to be grinded, they will grind it, mix it, and pelletize it for you.

Pellets are also sinkers. So when using pellets, you must be careful not to overfeed the fish or leave uneaten feed in the pond. Uneaten feed will pollute your pond water because they will break down. It's you ask someone to show you how to give pellets and floats to the fish in the pond. An experienced person must physically show you how it is done.

Don't use chemicals to kill weeds around your pond. Use cutlasses to cut weeds around your pond because little spray may get into the pond and rain can wash herbicides from weeds into the pond. Some people spray weeds with herbicides and it doesn't affect their catfish, but some did it and it affected their catfish.

During harvesting, buyers will try to dupe you. Ensure a trusted person that knows about catfish sales is there.

I will advise that you know much about what you are investing on and be available to drive it with passion to your dream land. My loses were in millions and still I regret till this day. Pls research every aspect so u don't get disappointed. Bless you and good luck.

[s]Just hear yourself talk
A loophole that existing business are not exploiting? Really? so tell me which business thereof that you're going to be the sole originator in a market environment. Any business you intend to open in a particular environment that's unfamiliar in that location probably have no market, hence the reason people aren't exploiting it.

You sound Very amateur and pessimistic when it comes to business and that's the first step to failure in it hence the reason we have so many regrets here. I'm telling you without missing words that food business is a sure ticket to high returns, ignoring the stress that comes with it... it's a business that blossom even if 15 restaurants re located on the same location let alone when it's sited in a student environment. so there's a legislative law restricting certain customers to a particular shop without having to exploit other new ones around, u re obviously not a businessman. Laziness is not an excuse in business. how do u think the Igbos survive in business where 20 igbo men and women will be selling the same items on the same Spot?[/s]

It's "mincing" not missing.

Unlike you, I have ran businesses.

You speak from a position of inexperience. For the Igbo businessmen you talk about, do you know what cartels are? Google the economics of cartel and you would understand what happens if an outsider enters such an industry without the approval of the big players in it. There is a reason most of the people who join this Igbo businessmen in the same industry are those who have been apprentices and are settled to start the same business (usually they are sent to another location different from where they "served" to start their business). I don't expect you to understand (due to lack of both business and thinking experience).

Any business started without a solid USP and a good gap in the market would fail.

Guys,
I just found out the owner of heavy duty trucks that can carry your metric tonnes of goods is looking for money so if u want to hire trucks to any state in Nigeria and African countries, they will assist u for small money
I tried them and they were so prompt, kept giving me updates till they arrived and careful with my goods..I know my fellow biz pple esp agro commodities crave this kind of service..Holla at me , they are not paying me but I like to tell others good news when I hear..that's how I became a business woman..someone gave me idea too 08112658211

Invested in bitcoin when it’s was $21k
I mean some serious 6figures...

You no the rest

But thank God for affiliate marketing

You re the one who is obviously inexperienced here. You sound more like a business administration undergraduate who is still trying to impress his listeners with theoretical knowledge from textbooks and internet explorers far from practical experience and reality, whatever you re being taught in class is different from practical reality my friend. Talking about cartel in Nigerian market where everyone is solely after his personal interest and business growth is d most rediculous thing I have heard in 2021

Hmm it’s a good business but can’t be close to businesses of getting money from people who love to chase what’s between a woman’s legs. Even the oldest profession in the world was born out of it.

People even steal money just to flex and carry women around . So you get my point

This tread is very funny. Well, I'm into Barbing Salon business. I'm a professional barber. So running the business is not a problem. I need partners/Investors in this business. Kindly WhatsApp me for deal.

Very True
This is exactly what owners always lament about

SwTeee:

I gave it out to somebody to manage, but I was always going there to supervise his activities...wat really happened was the person in charge of it wasn't irrigating the farm always
It's was all good at first, then everything went sour, the sun was another factor and the little harvest we got, we could not sell at a good price... Cus tomatoes was relatively cheap then

So sorry
You will get it right this time around

15k daily, after subtracting fuel and agbero money. No police settlements cos I load at d park, all my papers are complete. Bought my sienna direct tuks (2004 model, second generation Sienna) not some Nigerian used car. So no serious issues besides normal oil change, tyre and other minor things u change in vehicles. Kola (Alagbado) to ibadan @2500 per passenger. 7 seaters Sienna(3 people at d back, 3 at d middle,1 at d front) plus driver(myself) that's 8 passengers total.

₦2500 *7 =₦17500 (*2) multiply that by returning trip, that's 35k total. When I subtract fuel and agbero,food, I still have 15k left to go home with. My wife is a goverment worker, so am able to save 10k daily from it in all things being equal. I go to work everyday, have no Reason to be idling away at home. On Saturdays I get bookings/charter sometimes two families I have to choose one. 70k full day, that covers my Saturday and Sundays earnings, even more than but let's just leave it like that. service my car every 3rd of each month from miscellaneous. ₦6500 for my engine's oil, power steering oil ₦3500(Not everymonth)
Let's do our calculations on my compulsory 10k daily savings only, while ignoring d 5k on top.
10*30 =300k a month.
300*6months= 1.8million (An amount for another very clean Nigerian used sienna)

I doubt seriously what you are saying, don't be offended please
