Manweysabi: OP thanks for this insightful post! pleases, concerning the feed, are we to start giving them VITAL FEED (2mm) at Fingerlings stage? cos, as it is, i don't think there's VITAL FEED (0.5mm or 0.8mm). or can Fingerlings eat 2MM? |

catfish definately will feed on any fish smaller than them so far they get hungry,they even feed on their ownself, if they see weaker one or any insured one,they feed on it they are canibals..lol... THE major reasons why people mix them together are as follows....1, catfish GETS HUNGRY IF AND REDUCE GROWTH IF YOU DONT FEED THEM REGULARLY , THEY EASYLY FEED ON THE TILAPIA FRIES AS SURPLEMENT...'2, AS TO REASON 1 ABOVE, IT MAY HELP U REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF FEED IN TOTAL USED FOR THE CATFISH, DIRECTLY REDUCING UR COST OF FEEDING, 3, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE CATFISH FEED ON THE TILAPIA FRIES. YOU WILL STILL HARVEST SOME TILAPIA WHICH U CAN ALSO SELL CAUSE TILLAPIA PRODUCE NATURALYY ON EARTHEN AND CONCRATE PONDS THEY DONT NEED ARTIFICIAL MEANS LIKE INDUCEMENT ,AND IF TILAPIA ARE NOT WELL MONITORED U CAN GET POPULATION EXPLOSION IN UR POND DUE TO LOTS OF TILAPIA HATCHRIRS AND YOUNG FRIES GROWING,,4, WITH ADDITION OF FEW TILAPIAS TO UR CATFISH POND DOES NOT NESSESARYLY MEANS INCREASE IN FEED U GIVE .TILAPIAS ARE VERY GOOD IN EATING THE SCRUMBS OR LEFTOVER < FEED THE CATFISH DID NOT EAT DURING FEEDING > MEANS U WASTE LESS FEED..
