For privacy reasons, I'm an old nairaland member.

About 22 / 23 years ago, a classmate in secondary school lured us into the act of masturbation. Few days later, I started practicing the act and eventually ejaculated after tough stimulation lasting almost two hours. It got to a point I was almost getting addicted doing the unclean act.

Thereafter I graduated to pornography when internet was just starting in Nigeria.
I went further to committing adultery and fornication in the heart rather than with the body by peeping on girls and women having their bathe all to fulfill my lustful eyes. I even watched couple have sex by peeping.

Even though I have stopped and repented from these like 12 years back, I still find myself struggling with other bigger problems called wet dreams, unusual erections and wormlike vibrations in my body and sometimes body freezing at night for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

These wet dreams occurred 2 - 3 times in a week and repeat same in like manner every week compulsorily throughout the year and go on and on the following year. I have gone for several dry fasting and prayer deliverance to no avail.

I don't see myself having sex in the dream when these wet dreams occurred. Sometimes, when the wet dream is about happening I'm conscious and try screaming the name or blood of Jesus but it seems am just very powerless and before I know it, semen has spilled out and I will remain like that. Sleep is distorted and all efforts to sleep is impossible.

Sometimes, when I go to bed early by 8PM and I get caught up by wet dreams by 9:30PM, it means sleep for that night is gone completely. I sleep maximum 2 hours daily because this stuff has messed my mind and life up.

Whenever I lie down to sleep, different uninvited thoughts start forcing themselves on my brain both those that happened today and the ones of years ago. I always try deflecting them by replacing them with bible quote or singing praise to God in my head.

I woke up since 2:30 am today with a wet burser soaked in semen and started typing this because I couldn't no longer sleep. Afternoon sleep is very impossible for me as it has never worked for even 1 minute

I'm greatly troubled and worried because I read my bible and pray before going to bed. I dream about my former schools etc.

As I speak, this stuff has rendered me financially devastated with millions in debt. Could not obtain university admission 19 years ago, brain can't simulate, not married, no kids. Very recently this year my health (details withheld due to family members who might find this posts) is suffering as I can't do anything to earn a living as I easily sored tired in the heart.

PS: At night, every day for all these years, uncontrollable strong erections will suddenly start building up whether I put up underwear or not and I think this is more than the 'morning erections ' science talks about. This is pure spiritual manipulation for me. Same thing happens when I get close to some females whether matured or underage, stupid uncontrollable strong erections suddenly pop up without any sexual thoughts whatsoever to these innocent females. Unfortunately, these arousal is also a problem because it inhibits low self esteem, shame and quick withdrawal from whatever discuss I'm having to avoid the bulge being noticed.

Lastly, a year before I got myself ensnared in all these evil activities, I was already developing memory loss and a single headache that almost took my life prior to all these. The headache can be best described as "sawchain and hammer " tearing the skull to pieces and lasted for hours and resistance to drugs. That was the first and last time I experienced such and any other for that matter.

Where do I go from here? Depression is real when solutions are being defiled.

I was like you until I started having sex regularly. Don't fornicate, kindly get married.

How much per bag?

New 16-discs ATESPAR harrow

Wow, this is great!

GNC costs #250 from #130 it was during my last production cycle. Even with the price surge, very rare to get high quality ones. Soyabean meal from#128 to #280. Cassava flour from #50 to #70 etc. Here, only blood meal price remains the same.

There is high possibility the price of feeds and feed materials will still go up. We should should just brace up to face the challenges ahead. We should try to cut cost using alternative materials while still cosidering quality. And we should avoid excessive feeding to prevent wastage.

Hello bro. Thank you for the other time you sent a formula to me. I used the formula making my 4mm feed. I want to make 2mm feed but I don't want to use that kole garri. What can I use to replace it? Thanks

You can use cassava flour (grinded dried cassava peel). You can get it at Starchem Company in Saabo-Ilora at #50/kg

3. Farm/Facility production management techniques.

Irrespective of the size or magnitude of a fish farm, there are some basic things that need to be provided, and systematically managed for optimal results.

The focus here shall be restricted, to raising catfish in captivity. For us to be able to have a better understanding of one of the production techniques , we shall consider the concept of a "Recirculatory System ".

In summary, the recirculatory system of rearing catfish, is rearing the fish in a closed circuit system, whereby the waste water or effluent is treated, with all impurities removed, and the clean water is returned to the fishes.
If the filtration system is working perfectly well, the fish tank is always very clear.
Since water is always refreshing, the fishes eat better, and grow well, as feed conversion / fish metabolism in enhanced.
The Dutch Strain as explained in previous post, has been of preferred interest for this system. Maturity and harvest of fish raised in this system is enhanced also.

What lesson can we derive here for tank and earthen systems of catfish rearing?

The recirculatory system can only work with artificial ponds?

Okay, thanks Sir.
Awaiting the 3rd factor: Farm/Facility production management techniques.

rerhji:
i stay close to the place...most of the time, they do ferment it. What u can do is buy freshly harvested, then u give them to peel, grind and dry fr u

Thank you Sir

rerhji:
it wasn't even a heavy one.....it only drizzled all day around saabo area

It seems you are conversant with Saabo area?! Please where can I get unfermented cassava that has been dried and grinded?

2. Quality Fish Feeds.

Another important and crucial factor for successful and profitable catfish rearing is quality feeds.
Emphasis regarding feed, is such quantity required to sustain the growth profile of catfish. It is not gain saying that catfish feeds constitute about 70% of the rearing cost, hence the need for a good quality fish feed, that is not expensive, but delivers expected result.

A farmer with catfish nutritional knowledge can compound his feeds with basic ingredients like fish meal, poultry meal, feather meal, soya, gnc, maize, wheat offal, etc. There is need to be cautious about formulations, as the feed must be palatable, otherwise the fishes will reject it, and it will be a waste.

We extensively carried out research, on catfish feeds, and started the production of local pelletized feeds(first picture), for our fishes, for many years. We extend the usage of the pelletized feeds to those we mentored in 2018 and 2019. The acknowledged results from this stage encouraged us further unto the production of extruded feeds.

We now produce floating grower and finisher feeds for our fishes from Juveniles stage (second picture). We also extend the usage to those who patronize us for fish seed.

From points 1 and 2, it is very clear that quality fish seed requires quality fish feeds in adequate quality to enhance the growth profile of catfish, for a bountiful harvest. These alone can not guarantee successful catfish rearing without the farm/facility production management techniques(next post).

If you're a practicing farmer or intending farmer (Lagos/Ogun States), who really want to enjoy catfish farming, feel free to contact 08023340270 whatsapp / call for FREE mentoring.

As regards the floating pellet in the last attached picture, can one use the same ingredients used in making the sinking pellet? I once heard making floating pellet is ingredient-selective?

Just three heavy downpour in Oyo town so far this year.

Thanks, you're just what you're saying about me. Despite not meeting with you personally, you have proved your worth. Hope you're enjoying the mentoring already.

A lot Sir

Your question of interest has a very vast answer. However, I'll try as much as possible to give a summary.

Dutch catfish or Dutch Clarias is a domesticated strain of Clarias Gariepinus produced in Netherlands. The strain was bred from about 40 Clarias Gariepinus individuals from Cameroon, and supplemented with fish the Central Africa Republic, Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire and Israel.
A total of 3900 MT of the Dutch strain are produced, with exports to various countries such as Germany, Ukraine, Bulgaria, England, Nigeria and Israel.
The Dutch domesticated Clarias were identified as the stock of choice for closed reciprocating systems, in which these strains showed very good growth rates.

However, the strain has reproduction problems because they produce few eggs, and a low fertilization rate was observed.
Thus domesticated strain is hybrid catfish.
In Nigeria, you can also produce hybrid catfish by crossing Clarias Gariepinus with Hetero Bacchus to get Hetero-clarias (hybrid).

As an entrepreneur, I decided to stick with Clarias Gariepinus, which I have taken much time to study through various research experiments.
Many of our Broodstock customers producing hybrid catfish complained a lot about the milt related issues during inbreeding.

I appreciate all those who have been contacting me through whatsapp and calls, irrespective of their locations. Let us all grow together to make Nigeria great, feeding our people with quality catfish.

Thanks for the time and attention you give whenever you are contacted. You are a generous and kind-hearted man. May God bless you and your family abundantly!

@ademola1333, I appreciate your prompt response to my enquiries on fish feed ingredients.
Looking forward to an opportunity of meeting with you.

I never knew it was you. You are welcome Sir

I don't produce hybrid , hence can't talk much about them. However, will like to share my understanding about runts in catfish rearing.

Runts are usually fishes which for one reason or the other (sickness/antibiotic treatment at fry stage, inadequate feeding), have retarded growth. Irrespective of the fact that catfish have compensatory growth potential, runts will not grow. I was a victim of runts in my early catfish rearing days.

Generally, in every spawn or a catfish production cycle / batch, there are usually three distinct groups, the small, medium and large.
The Large are usually very small in quantity, and these are early hatchlings, who passed through the yoke sac absorption stage ahead of others, thereafter prey on those still in yoke sac absorption stage.
The medium group are the greatest in number in any spawn. Usually about 60% -65% of a spawn. Very interesting group.
The small are the last. Although they are small compared to the rest in the batch, but the growth potential is also very encouraging.

Runts
Runts are not supposed to get out of the hatchery. After first and second sorting (and probably the third), any fish that does not fall within the three groupings are to be discarded, as food for bigger fishes.
Since some fingerlings producers are not sincere, they still sell the fishes out, most especially when buyers price fingerlings so low.

Thanks for the enlightenment, God bless you.

I want to ask this too: Does Dutch Strain Clarias has any advantage over the common clarias garienpuses?

Are runts peculiar to hybrid as they are peculiar to clarias?

About 300 gram now.

You can make a good and balanced formula suitable for them in Oyo at #250 or lesser per kilo. I will tell you where to source the materials cheaply.

Olofin2:



I made pellets the other time. Without lysine and methionine, I spent 250 naira per kg. If I use those two, that will be around 300 per kg. Echo float is 300 naira per kg. What do you suggest bro?

How many grams on the average are the fishes now?
