AgricultureRe: Catfish Farming: My Story by ab1x: 10:42pm On Nov 12, 2012
aquatic1: Be very patience in reading this

I started fish farming business some years ago, and am proud of myself and my farm, am still in the business and am really doing great, and am making my money as expected.

MY STORY

I visited a fish farm at alagbado area of Lagos state Nigeria, so few years back, where i discover that the man that owns the farm feed is fish from juvenile to standard table size with local feeds, he feed them 4times a day and in 6 to 7 months he harvest nothing less than 1kg to 2kg, what surprise me is that he use local feed all-through, which i confirm from some of his staff and i was so shock, because its hard for catfish farmers to use local feed although without using the foreign feed for some months, i consult the man to give me the formula he use, but he said no, this make me to sit down, think and do some more research on how to minimize feeding cost in Nigeria catfish farming since it take up to 70% of the investment.

MY DISCOVERY

I started by stocking 1000pcs of post fingerlings in a 15ft by 7ft by 4ft concrete pond, i feed the fish with coppens, twice a day, and they eat 4bags in the first month, which i weigh them and see they are 150 - 200grams, i was happy my idea is working, so i put more effort, the second month, i feed them with 6bags and the 3rd and 4th month i spent 27,000 in  milling local feed for them, when i get to sell them, i see 1kg to 1.3kg at the 4th month, i was very happy that i got the idea, this apply to my fingerlings production too, i get 0.5 to 1.5gram of fish at 3weeks, and i feed them twice a day.

MY ARITHMETIC

Calculation for the feeding of the 1000pcs of fish is 73,000. Some catfish farmers believe fish should be feed a #120 feed to attain 1kg, and some say a 1kg feed equals to 1kg fish. Assuming you are using foreign feed which is sold for #300, that means you will spend #300,000 in feeding 1000pcs of fish and your turn over will be #420,000, u will also calculate other things the fish money, the fuel e.t.c or you are using the local feed which sell for #170 that means you will spend #170,000, or you follow the saying of @120 equals to 1kg, that means you will spend #120,000 in feeding 1000pcs of fish, but i spend #70 on each fish which make #70,000 on the total fish and i sold all the fish for #469,830, which make me make more than what i expect as profit, and i spend less.

MY SECRET

I started then as an experiment, now that's the method i use always, and i still achieve my aim.
The secret behind my success is that

1: I stock my own fish, which i know the source
2: I specify a permanent time of feeding my fish, i choose to feed them 7am in the morning and 7pm at night
3: I change the water every 3days, and i clean the pond always
4: I sort the fish every month
5: The most successful part is that i don't vaccine my fish, i really thanks GOD for that
6: I check them regularly to know their behavior
7: after the first two month, i switch to local feed, and i give them the right mixture, this is the money important of all, because all the ingredient must me accurate, it must not be too much and too less, because the fish will just be eating if for hungry sake, its like putting too much salt in rice or beans.

for any question
for good local feed formula
good health and fast growing catfish fingerlings, post fingerlings, juvenile
for consultancy in your farm

Your write up is a total garbage and nairaland should be very careful in dealing with the OP pls.
I've been in this business for 4yrs now and I can categorically say that you can't rear 1000 pieces of fish with 70,000 naira. I've both concrete and earthen pond. It is important to note that rearing fishes in concrete pond is zero unlike in the earthen pond which is times two of your investment.

Kid come here, look @ my comment very well. I never said Tinubu is from Osun and even if he is from Kano that does not mean he cannot be conferred with a chieftaincy title in any part of the world. I am only responding to the first comment that says Tinubu is from Osun. Learn to read et stop jumping like a puma

Controlling anger is definitely not an easy thing I tell U but the best thing to do when angry is to walk out of the house if need be or better still count 1 to 100, it will suppress the anger in U.

It is not all babies that accept feeding bottles. Back to the question, there is nothing bad in breast feeding babies in the church. A woman only needs to cover her breast properly while feeding her baby in the church.

You should even be happy in the first place that she is eating well. You've nothing to worry about I tell you. Girlfriend eating three square meal should not be a problem rather there are whole lot of things to consider in a relationship than that issue. If she is a wife material then you can advise her to do regular exercise to stay fit.

HNosegbe: If such a disaster had happened in a civilized country, the president/prime minister would have cut short his New York trip, come to visit the site, direct remedial action and take steps to mitigate its impact. But no, not Nigeria.
We will gradually get there. Remember, Rome was not built in a day. You and I can contribute our own quota to the development of this country. Peace !

Pastor chris or Tb joshua and the likes should go there and command that water to dry up,divide or tell people to walk on it.. Jesus walked on water,moses divided the red sea and the bible says " and greater things shall you do"... This people are suffering for christ's sake..
May God have mercy on your life. Please be wary of what you say about men of God in order not to incur the wrath of God.
