omode2: @AbX1 what size of earthen pond do u recommend

30 by 40 is okay. It can occupy between 2000 to 2500 pieces of fish till maturity. Avoid digging big earthen pond because at the point of selling the fish, u will encounter lots of problem such as pumping out of the water from the pond which is time wasting, packing of the fish for scaling is another problem and so on.

3 shovel is alright.

@ robonski, I was one of the participants of your practical hatching training in may... I put into practice all that you thought us and the result have been outstanding..

My first hatching(spawning) was successful, I got over 11,000 thousand fingerlings at my first try with all the techniques u thought us...

Thank you so much for changing people lives... God will continually prosper you in all areas of your life.. God bless..

How are the fishes doing now? Any casualties of late?

they fishes are doing fine now. Thanks.@ Abx1 ,dt Orji guy wnts to rin me down, I didn't eventually sell to him.The formular he wnts to use in buying is absolutely out of this world.I had to chase him away.

TOKUGAWA: they fishes are doing fine now. Thanks.@ Abx1 ,dt Orji guy wnts to rin me down, I didn't eventually sell to him.The formular he wnts to use in buying is absolutely out of this world.I had to chase him away.

Let me enlighten u a bit about the way they sell fish. Some buyers categorise it into four parts while other buyers categorise it into five parts. The four parts involves Big, Medium, Small and Smallest and the other five parts involve Big, Medium, Small, smallest and Runt(eja egun).



To determine Big, 12 to 13 pieces of fish must make 25KG. (Atimes some buyers accept 14pieces)

To determine Medium, 16 to 17 pieces of fish must make 25KG. (Atimes some buyers accept 18pieces)

To determine Small, 25 pieces must make 25KG invariably one fish must be 1KG.

To determine Smallest, 40 pieces must make 25KG

And the runt as many pieces as possible.


If you are rearing fish in Ijebu Ode and they are less than 1KG then you are invariably targeting the market women. In most cases, you won't make much money on it.

I do advise people to sell at a flat rate but it is only mkt women that are going to buy that and most of them buy it on credit. You need to target people who will travel with the fish to abuja, port harcourt, delta etc and they mostly do sorting. Cheers,

@Abx1,this fish business sef,here we are used to people who buy at flat rate,yet buy upto a ton and pay cash.I'm just coming across that formula for the first time in the business.what you are trying to say now is that ones fish must attain 1kg plus each to make reasonable profit.Which brings me to the question of how to make ones catfish weigh more than one kilograms each.

Hello, there are different feeds with different prices...There is no 1.8 mm its only 1.5mm.. Coppens 1.5mm is #3200 for 5kg and 2mm sells for #5200..
Zeigler 2mm is #4500, while vital 2mm is #3900..
Note prices varies.

Concerning the average cost of feeding, I usually peg it down to #150 for each fish to maturity... 500 multiply by 150 = #75,000.. So u will need at least75k to take them all the way to maturity..No cut corners..prices can rise over time.. God bless

ROBONSKI please dont give people false hope. how can one raise a fish from juvenile to full with N75.
please clearify this so people dont get confused.

Please read my post again carefully I didn't say one can raise juvenile with #75.. I said I pegged it down at #150 to raise the juveniles to maturity.. And to raise 500 juveniles u have to multiply by #150 that will give us
#75,000 to raise them to maturity...

NB. The price for raising them also depends on the type of feed you give to them and the feeding regimes and also the time of harvest so it may be lesser or higher than #75,000.. Thanks

I love your question. Like my oga at the top adviced earlier, Robonski; you need to know the source of ur fingerlins.


You need to make use of coppens at least for 1 and a half month



After which you switch over to local feeds(2mm size). Here is the formula that I used in my farm and I can confirm to you authoritatively that I can boast of fish weighing between 2KG to 2.5KG within four months, 1 week.



FM (Danish) 72% 40
Toasted Soya 20
GNC 20
Indomie or biscuit 20
Premix 1
Lysine 1
Vit C 200grams
DCP 1
Molasis 10
Floxinor 1
Salt 1


Sorry, I don't use maize, cassava flake, koko garri, Wheat offal, rice meal, pKC or what have u.



I used the above formula for 3 and half month after which I change to;



FM (local) 20
Broiler starter 50
GNC 40
TS 40
Flour 30
Indomie 20
Premix 1
Lysine 1
Vit C 150grams
Salt 1
Molasis 10
Floxinor 1



Please note that floxinor is just a kind of antibiotics to prevent them from illness or sicknss so to say.


You must also avoid excess salt because it will reduce the weight of fish since salt itself is medicinal in nature.


Above all, stop using short cut in rearing fish otherwise u will see short cut at selling point. Use the right formula and see the power of right formula. Just my two cents.

robonski15:

The breath should be 30
The length should be 40
And the depth should reach at least your waist.
Please I don't have tape rule which I can use to measure it.
Hope that helps ? If it does not, I will find a way to measure it tomorrow.
