Hello, Please I have the following questions:

1: separate the bigger ones from the smaller ones, they don’t eat because the bigger ones don’t allow them to eat , for them to grow u have to separate them

2. Blue crown is not a local feed, u supppse to have been using it since u bought the fishes , from 2mm but it’s not too late u can start soon

3. Blue crown is the best place n terms of quality and its economical

Thank you for your response Sir,

(1) Yes I just separated them last Sunday. I noticed some growth though for a small number of them. I will separate them again today and observe like you said.

(2) Okay, I will get the Blue crown 2mm today as you also advised.

(3) I intend to purchase 5000 or 6000 pcs of post size next month. What advice do I need in terms of care and handling?

Than you.

I intend to put them in 3 artificial ponds made of tarpaulin that measures 5ft by 7ft for each.

The water comes straight from the borehole, same water that I use in carrying out my other domestic activities like cooking, drinking and laundry.

Thank you.

Okay… after stocking if it’s juvenile buy 2mm blue crown and try to wash once in a week
If possible u should change the water everyday but for it being a newly stocked fish u can remove half and add half of the water gets dirty
And to attain profit u must sort them monthly

Okay Sir, I will do exactly as you said. I have been underestimating Blue crown because of the cheap price when compared to other brands like Ziegler and others. I just paid for some bags this morning after you adviced differently. Thank you and well done Sir
