Fish farming cannot be taught online. You may read materials but to learn fish farming you must get your hands and feet wet inside the fish pond/tank. You must be on site.

Catfish will tolerate wide range of pH and temperature but you should always try to maintain optimal range for the two parameters

Tilapia is the most widely cultivated fish globally. Do you know what that implies?

Ebooks regarding livestock agriculture are best used by experienced operators. Newbies need mentorship to get firsthand practical experiences

In a production factory, the speed of a conveyor system can be regulated to get the products off the line faster or slower. This is not the case with fish. They are living things and must go through a natural growth process. No faster growth, only optimum growth given the favourable conditions.

Poultry farmers are renowned for sourcing the best affordable feed for their birds, whereas fish farmers appear to always look for ways to cut corners by using unconventional and unwholesome means to sustain fish while culture period lasts. What could be the reason for this disparity between poultry farmers and fish farmers?

Frequent rainfall will lower your pond pH. If your ponds/farm is exposed to rainfall in the city or near a city stay alert for acid/black rains. pH might drop below 6. Take steps to improve pH after prolonged rainfall

High numbers of fry is good. Active fry is best

"What can I give my fish to make them grow fast"?

My Ans: Give them optimum conditions of food and environment so they can grow their best according to their genetic make up.

If you have another answer i will like to read it from your comment

As a novice in fish farming, for commercial purposes you need practical training, you don't need ebook, not online class, not even a 6HR video. Fishes are living things, they're not items you can produce by following guidelines from an ebook/video. As far as fish farming is concerned, Ebooks are meant for experienced operators. Are you experienced?

Have you eaten fresh fish this week? How did you prepare it?

10 juveniles in 100L. If you want to start with more fish I can guide you. 09126591642 chat me up on WhatsApp. Experience is the best teacher. It will cost you more to teach yourself than to learn from someone.

breadplanets:
Thank you for taking out time to answer me...but surely that 500 is a typo right? It's only 100 litres😃

It took10years for the retail price of feed to increase 3x. But the retail price per kg of catfish only increased about 2.4x. Who is paying the extra 0.6x?

What type of pond will you recommend for catfish farming, and why do you recommend it? I want your opinions

Did you run a water test to determine it's actually iron? If not it could be mud due to shallow bore-hole as I have seen in Lagos mainland. There are specialized filters designed for just that.
See what you can find on the internet

Thanks so much for replying.
It is Iron.
Expecting your feedback and God Bless

The time it takes for your fish to attain market size of say 500g or 1kg+ will depend on how you manage them. Make una dey remember say fish na living thing, not just a commodity and especially not a mass-produce type of commodity that rolls off a production plant at pre-programmed intervals. Let me work with you - 09126591642

What kind of ions? Do you mind sharing the test result for better assessment?

Hello House... I am new to catfish farming.
One major problem in my area is the presence of "ions" in the water. How can this be tackled?

Are there catfish water recycling products/installers in Port?

Yes you're seeing correctly, square watermelon. It looks beautiful but don't feed your catfish with fruits. If feed becomes too expensive for you, sell your fish. Don't go into fish farming without adequate preparation. I will offer you professional guidance 09126591642.

Fish farming is like any other business which you do for profit. But unlike any other business fish farming is not for everyone. I can offer you professional help and guidance. Don't loose your investment. Don't invest until I have shown you how to do it. Don't throw away your money to online trainers.

I am hardly available for in-person training that's why I share ideas here so this is for limited time only. At your site.

2023 begins in 30days. Will you be ready?

Have you eaten fresh fish� this week? I shouldn't tell you everything �

While we enjoy seeing the beautiful pictures of your fish stock, tickle us with the weight of the fish and at what age.

Fish farming is quite different from plant agriculture where your crops mostly sell as good as they look.

In fish farming like other livestock, besides having a healthy stock, the weight of your fish is what determines your profit in grow out operations.

That is the post for today

Fish farmers operating earthen pond system, how are you coping with the rainfall this period? I hope not so bad on your side
