With a 100k you can still do something..You can start with two plastic tanks of 1500 litres 30k each..I don't really know how much it currently goes for, then get a good fingerlings seed of 200 pieces for #10 to make 2000k which u will feed them with abt 30k to maturity Had it been u were in lagos I will give u my best fingerlings seed free to boost ur profit..

Uw bro.. But the truth be said, even this so called catfish market women have their own association that is so united.. Once its time for meetings everyone of them closes and head straight to the meeting..

These women are FAR more organised than we the fish farmers.. And the painful part of it all is that majority of fish farmers are literate while the fish sellers are illiterate.. But the difference is the ONE voice they have and its helping them a great deal..

I have a fish seller that is a very good friend of mine and she tells me majority of the things they do.. She told one time that if a fish seller in their association doesn't build her own house within three years of being a fish seller then the person will be questioned..

So my people u can see why these market women syphon the gullible fish farmers.. Its so painfull each time I see it happen.. Fish farmers must also unite together irrespective of ur locality to curb the menace of these so called "iya eja"

That is why I keep on shouting, telling the untold, training and advising fish farmers not to fall prey by having a sound knowledge on fish farming for sustainable profit, growth and what have u..

When we call for trainings its for the good of the trainee.. I can't say what I have been told by people who attend my training, their experiences, money and time wasted etc.. And I weep for how many more farmers out there passing through the same predicament we don't know of..

Its time we take things serious and get knowledge..

Today I was reading abt algae nd got to know that green algae found on d surface of or in water constitute d most important basic food material 4 all the animal life there.

I also learnt that they carry out photosynthesis nd protein synthesis, and multiply abundantly to form the food of the smallest animals that in turn feed d larger ones.

The questn now is why do we get rid of all algae in our pond. I think some should be left but not too much to avoid shortage of O2.

My Ogas, pls react

Wait oh, since they carry out photosynthesis, i think they should be able to supply oxygen

as u have answered,read from our post on algae where consistently we have mentioned excess is bad & if u have my manual aside the pics,it is also mentioned that too much reduces o2,also causes off flavor fish taste

Since it carry out photosynthesis, cant it be a source of O2 to the fishes?

@ayoola, deeper research will show you that too much algae depletes dissolved oxygen

let me answer this,
they are irritant to fishes in excess quantity, and nuisance, at d end will result to death, concerning that they do photosythesis, yes they fit o2 into the water during period of sunlight,but when it is night or it is cloudy,they use up o2 & if the period is lenghty especially night,pray for your fishes,also even in sunny time,d lower areas will still low o2,worse if the algae are dying, because o2 is needed to decompose them,hence depleting o2,let stop at this,not too much insight, d valid point we have all mentioned b4 now,too much kills yr fishes

I can't tell how many bags u need.. It also depends on ur feeding regimes.. To feed a fish to 1kg u will need at least #150.. So to raise 1000 fishe u should have #150,000 on ground for feeding..

robonski16: Hello good people, I am very much impressed by what I have seen so far on this thread, the info dashed out on this thread is priceless..

We have really made this thread a success by saving peoples investment from collapse.. I constantly receive mails from individuals,home and abroad thanking me for putting up the thread with its priceless info..

I also receive another set of mails from april till date from 43 different farmers excluding the ones from my training who have experience HUGE losses from lack of info on fish farming.. And I feel their pains because I have been in their shoes sometimes past when I was making losses too.. But I thank God they have retraced their steps by following advices from experts on this thread..

Let me say it is a TABOO for any fish farmer following this thread to make a loss with all this info being given out on this thread.. If you have read the thread from the first page till date then there is absolutely no reason for u to make a loss..

Knowledge is infinite, I still learn a lot from this thread and I marvel at how much I have learnt from april till date.. I employ fish farmers to step up, we have all it takes to succeed, there is no room for excuses..

I want specially thank the experts who have contributed in helping people with valid info, u guys have really changed investments from crashing.. I say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you,especially ab1x, ecxelsoir,aquatic may God mighty hand will continually be upon your business to increase to higher level..

Lots of love
From ROLAND A.K.A ROBONSKI..

Yes-o. With all priceless information dashing out on this thread, no fish farmers will make lost.

My candid advice to all the follower of this important thread is to share valid information and invite for fish farmers to this thread so that we can all benefit from the bank of expirerienced farmers.

Robonski, Abx1,aquarium e.t.c you guys rocks!!!

Thanks a lot
