Please house this is the fish feed formula I use for my fishes-

2-4months (from post fingerlings)
Fishmeal 25kg
Corn 10kg
Wheat bran- 5kg
Rice bran- 5kg
Soyabean cake 30kg
Groundnut cake 25kg
Lysine 100grams
methionine 100grams
Vit C 100 grams
Salt 100grams
2 crates of egg.
Starch 100grams.

4-6 months
Fishmeal 20kg
Corn 10kg
Soyabean cake 25kg
Groundnut cake 20kg
Palm kernel cake 15kg
Rice bran 5kg
Wheat bran 5kg
Half crate of egg
Lysine 100grams
methionine 100grams
Vit C 100 grams
Salt 100grams
Starch 100grams.

Please is this formula good enough or is there something I should add or reduce in quantity.
Looks like decent formulas. What type of Vitamin C you use? You might consider adding a bit of all-in vitamin premix. Also closely watch quality of your ingredients for spoilage (aflatoxins through moulding, or fat oxidation). And you could add some 100-200 grams of citric acid powder.

[quote author=Onyireen post=57815836][/quote]Nauplii are hatched live artemia, shellfree are artemia eggs/cysts with the shell removed, so fish larvae can eat them.

Onyireen:
I think it should be shell free. Which ever one ooo. I learnt there are lot of fake ones, how do I know original.
Maybe the first 2-3 days you can give live nauplii, and later on shellfree. If you can get your hands on a closed can of Ocean Nutrition Shellfree, don't hesitate, they are by far the best at the moment.

Onyireen:

You mean cysts or shellfree?
