ADude: Ask these people that can pump water out of fish ponds to help you apply LIME to the pond. They know the quantity to apply. After about a week, ask them to pump out water where they added LIME again (some people will tell you it is not necessary to pump water out again because as water increases in the pond, the water will dilute the lime so that it won't affect your fish. But I once saw where the lime was not diluted and it killed all fishes). Use net to cover the pond appropriately to avoid frog and any other predators from entering your pond. If water is flowing from nearby pond to your pond, seal it because diseases can pass from a pond to another. Ensure you get your fingerlings or juveniles from a reputable supplier. For prevention of diseases, add 5kg of salt to the pond every 30 days. If your pond water turns black or is smelling, stop feeding for about 2 days and give half of what can satisfy them until your water becomes normal. You will get this kind of salt from feedmills. It is cheap, not pure iodised salts o. Mix fishmycin drug to your fish feed to prevent diseases. If you are using floating feeds, add 2g (gramme) to 1kg of feed. Let say you are going to the pond this morning, measure the kg you want to give and mix drug, not that you will add drugs to what they will finish in a week today. If it is pellets you buy from feed Mills, you can also add drugs every morning, but if the feed is made by you, you will add the whole drug at once the day you make it(I will show how to make your own feed). To add drugs to floating feed or pellets you buy from feed Mills, add small water to your feed to make it wet so that powdery drug can stick to it when you mix. Add 2g of fishmycin to 1kg of feed. A sachet of fishmycin is 100g. To measure 2g, divide a sachet into 10. Each portion has 10g. Divide a portion from the 10portions into 5 again, each portion here has 2g. It's rare to get a scale that can measure in grammes. It's advisable you buy juveniles instead of fingerlings because you are just starting and it's not easy to know how to feed fingerlings if you are a new comer. We use SINKER feed for fingerlings. Use 2mm of floating feed for juveniles for about a month. 2mm floating feeds are usually costly especially if you buy imported ones like Alleraqua brand. Nigerian brands are cheap like 3k difference or more, but imported ones are certified quality which will show on rapid growth of your fish. Use 4mm of floating feed for about a week. Your fish must have grown to be able to pick 4mm pelletized feed. It's advisable you make your own feed to ensure profit. I will give you formula to use. There are some feed Mills that will do pelletizing for you once you take your ingredients there. You just buy ingredients at accurate quantity you want and take it there. If there is anyone to be grinded, they will grind it, mix it, and pelletize it for you. Pellets are also sinkers. So when using pellets, you must be careful not to overfeed the fish or leave uneaten feed in the pond. Uneaten feed will pollute your pond water because they will break down. It's you ask someone to show you how to give pellets and floats to the fish in the pond. An experienced person must physically show you how it is done. Don't use chemicals to kill weeds around your pond. Use cutlasses to cut weeds around your pond because little spray may get into the pond and rain can wash herbicides from weeds into the pond. Some people spray weeds with herbicides and it doesn't affect their catfish, but some did it and it affected their catfish. During harvesting, buyers will try to dupe you. Ensure a trusted person that knows about catfish sales is there. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

PhilipReigns: It's "mincing" not missing. Unlike you, I have ran businesses. You speak from a position of inexperience. For the Igbo businessmen you talk about, do you know what cartels are? Google the economics of cartel and you would understand what happens if an outsider enters such an industry without the approval of the big players in it. There is a reason most of the people who join this Igbo businessmen in the same industry are those who have been apprentices and are settled to start the same business (usually they are sent to another location different from where they "served" to start their business). I don't expect you to understand (due to lack of both business and thinking experience). Any business started without a solid USP and a good gap in the market would fail. 3 Likes |

einsteine: You re the one who is obviously inexperienced here. You sound more like a business administration undergraduate who is still trying to impress his listeners with theoretical knowledge from textbooks and internet explorers far from practical experience and reality, whatever you re being taught in class is different from practical reality my friend. Talking about cartel in Nigerian market where everyone is solely after his personal interest and business growth is d most rediculous thing I have heard in 2021 3 Likes 1 Share |

Oluwahelpme: Hmm it’s a good business but can’t be close to businesses of getting money from people who love to chase what’s between a woman’s legs. Even the oldest profession in the world was born out of it. People even steal money just to flex and carry women around . So you get my point 1 Like |
