these fishes are going on Wednesday. average size is 2.5kg at 24 weeks old. they are product from our hatchery. you are so certain of your adult fishes when you know the source of the seeds. our fishes are envy of competitors because we do not sell our fingerlings, except of very 'special' occasion . or if i tell you to come buy fingerling for 35 naira wont you run? lol

see how the pond looks so natural and colorful like a natural river

another one... we have 60 hatchery troughs.

our hatchery as promised...

@jam04, nice thread u ve created....frm d pix above its clear u practice wat u preached!!...m also in d fish biz wt less dan a yr xperience!!...m rili interested in learnin aw to hatch md breed, i dont kno if u offer trainings in dz respect...

Thanks for the compliment. This year makes it the 5th year I have been active in fish farming business. I started with just a pond of 2000 fishes and by the grace of God, you can see where I am today in pond and fish numbers. I have had challenges and infact, I lost money in my first year. I repackaged myself, learnt where I failed and I went for practical training from successful farmers. This is what most farmers in the business fail to realise. There is so much to learn about successful catfish breeding than the vague believe that is been paraded online.
Yes we offer practical training on hatching. Send me mail and I will give you details. I will attach some of section of our hatchery now.

when do i feed after stocking?

After 24hrs

this set of fish are 3.5 months old...you like their mouth?

As promised i will be talking about earthen pond today.Earthen ponds are arguably the best environment to raise cat

fishes as they feel more at home in natural habitats. have you ever wondered by goats or cows are raised in the open

field and not on concrete floors? or do they tell you goats cant survive if they live on concrete floors? they will

survive just that optimum growing conditions will not be achieved. This also apply to car fishes. or why do you think

animals in zoo are kept in an enviroment thats almost 90% replica of their natural habitat. now tell me how close a

tarpaulin pond or concrete pond is to cat fish natural habitat.

I know this write up is going to generate lot of criticism especially from internet and paper farmers and i will gladly

ignore them. this write up is for those serious farmers who want to make real cash from raising cat fish. apart from the

fact that habitat adaptation enhances optimal growth in animals, earthen ponds are easy and cheap to maintain. they are

also cheaper to construct. another advantage is the space to swim around and exercise, the abilitu to dig in the mud( i

guess most of you dont know catfishes out their mouth to the bottom of the pon like 30times every minute..huh? they so

much love it. so guess how they will feel when they continuall jam their mouth against hard surface) and the stability

of water quality( especially from a well channeled concrete pond)

Another great advantage is better body shape, potential for better growth, better color yand better skin

condition. have you ever wondered why the rate of diseases in concrete and plastic ponds are higher than earthen ponds?

spawning is more efficient in earthen ponds than artificial ponds.

unless you are raising cat fish for leisure or for pratice for onward progress to a larger scale, it is not advisable to

raise cat fish in artificial ponds.the returns you will get will be lower to that of someone who raise his in an earthen

pond under the same feed and water conditions. these are the basic points, more indepth discussion can be made later.

I will not bore you with lengthy words as the purpose of this thread is not to sweet tongue but to open your eyes to the hidden potentials in haulage business.
Truck haulage is one of the lucrative businesses in the country ( transportation is the 3 highest money earner in the country after oil and ICT) presently with high return yield. After critical study of investors who wish to invest in this industry, we have come to the following conclusions:

1) Investors are worried about inconsistent returns. They have worries that stories will start flying as soon as truck exchange hands with managers
2) They are worried about maintenance and repairs stories. 70% of investors we have come across do not know much about trucks and cannot verify repair claims by managers. This has always been the number 2 factor that discourages investors.

These 2 factors listed above are the main worries that discourage investors. However, there is good news. What if you get a haulage company that will shoulder all these worries for you? What if there is a haulage company that tells you, you do not have to know the daily stories on the running of the business either faults, maintenance or accident? All that matter is your agreed monthly remittance. What if you get a company that is ready to sign these terms into an agreement with you?

We started this model in November 2014 and there have been positive responses from our partners. So we are inviting you to partake in this rest of mind venture.

At penthouse Industry Limited, we have developed a strategic plan that enable you earn back your initial investment in 15 months max…. yes 15 months!!! We have 3 investment portfolios:

a) 10tons dump truck……………………………………………………………….2.5m
b) 20 tons dump truck……………………………………………………………….3.6m
c) 30tons dump truck………………………………………………………………..5.5m

We are committed to honoring agreement and putting smiles on the face of our investors. Partner with us and you will never regret it. For further inquiries and discussion, you are most welcome to our office.

E-book doesn't help ooooo practice what u read ooooooo.applied it oooo.

Ebook helps. It is meant to serve as a guide. When combined with practical training and on-farm experience is the best.

avoid concrete pond ke?
There are lots of research on concrete and earthen pond and its just little diff. concrete pond has more survival rate than earthen pond, bt earthen pond produced more avg weight per fish.
both of them are good if u manage the pond well. Both have their advt and disadvtages. did u hear wat flood did to earthen pond farmers years back?

Do u do ur hatching inside earthen pond?
i plan to dig earthen pond, but i will also have concrete pond in same location.

Go and ask farmers will good yield on their cat fish, they are not using concrete ponds. If your pond is well sited, flood won't overrun it. I'm not saying catfish can't be raised in tank or concrete, I just advised those with options of the 2 to go for earthen. Also when scouting for locations to use for fish farm, site a location where you can dig an earthen pond. There are just so many advantages.

Anybody who believe this is high on pig dung. No weapon cut on their body, no blood stain on the body too..shiorrr. Same funny picture they gave us when Gej visited sick soldiers in borno with them wearing uniforms and bed well laid.

They ought to meet launcelot imasuen to help them act/direct a good death scene.

Please note to all those who have been sending PM's. This thread is not about the E-book I'm selling, its mainly for farmers and enthusiasts to share live/physical experience they have. I have always said despite the E-book been for sale, its not meant for everyone even though you have the cash to pay. If you don't pass my 'test' I can not sell to you. I had to post this on here for all those who did not know and have been abusing me unknowingly for refusing to sell the E-book to them. Thank you


Now back to another story. I was on a farm yesterday and I felt so bad for the owner. The reason why was he once seek my professional advice and I gave him. Despite this, he still went ahead to do what paper farmers told him. Paper farmers are those without success on farm practice, they only know how farm thrive on paper. for anyone reading this...AVOID concrete and tarpaulin pond if you can. Not all location is suited for rearing catfish just like not all location is suited for planting palm tree or soyabean

bro av calculated some things here on my phone if u av d earthen pond ready u can start with 500 pieces of juveniles .starting from their bags u start 2mm feeds with them like buying 3bags which cost #4500*4 and 3mm feeds like 2bags which cost #4300*2 ,4mm feeds like 2bags which cost #4100*2 and 6mm feeds like 2 bags which cost #4200*2 and in all u will be spending 50k plus I do used Vita feeds ooooooo.u can still practice it oooooooooooooooooo provided there's no need to rent earthen pond since u said u av more space of land in ur compound.

This advice will only get the boy stuck...50k can't raise catfish

euromilion:
Do u operate it yourself or just rent?

We rent but if you need an operator, we can get for you

I'm an undergraduate and planning to begin a small fish pond in my compound however this would be jointly done with a friend we have valued our pockets and we have only been able to come up with 50k,mind you I don't wanna start bis just something small and we can start from there..However it should be noted that water is not a problem the problem am having now are:
-The roofing sheets and woods to make a cover for the fish pond:I dunno howmuch that would gulp but we have some used wood at home I just wanna make a cover for the pond to avoid sunlight as well as rainfall.
-The type of pond-This is the main probs with our capital I thought of making Tapouline pond but I was told tapolin is quite expensive by the carpenter who wants to make the roof for us...He said the total of both is valued 30K if he should make it.However we are also going to pay the plumber,Buy fingerlings,and buy their food and drugs down in case of emergency wch is most important...I seriously need ur advise on the fish pond and necessary steps to take here are pictures of;
I)-The water Tank wch is close to where the pond would be just a pick connection to the pond.

I like your zeal and quest to be an independent farmer. The 50k you have can not start the business talkless of feeding the fishes. However, do not relent in your desire to be financially independent, you can do fish retail for now. Buy grow out from farmers at retail price and sell to market owner at a good margin. While you are on this, you will gain considerable knowledge about fish farming, as you will visit different kind of farms. This will also allow you raise more capital
