Is There Other Profitable Fish Farming Apart From Catfish Farming by domack99(m): 10:08am On Dec 03, 2011
I have been wondering if there is any other profitable fresh water fish farming that can be done in artificial pond or semi natural habitat other than catfish. There are many ads on this forum that is tag fish farming but end up realizing that its catfish farming.
There are other edible and highly demand fish species in the market other than catfish or is it that catfish is easier or less risky to rear than other species of fish.
Please drop your idea if you know of other Fresh water fish or even SALT WATER fish that can be raise in artificial pond and are in high demend and PROFITABLE. I know raising a salt water fish in an artificial enviroment might requires lot of technicality but if got one lets hear it, there is no business without risk.

Tilapia is very fragile and it takes time before they grow.

Have you heard of a sea fish called Ede. It is called Agha when it is small. It is common in Ilaje in Ondo state. It is better than catfish unfortunately, I do not know the English name.

Yes, @ Alpha Farms Lagos, we specialized on catfish & tilapia culturing.
Tilapia is the future of Aquaculture farming in Nigeria, as many farms are gradually stocking up with tilapia.
