MickyMozay:
Pls oga robonski, what the weight of your fish at maturating after d five months of using ziggler and vital feed.
U said yu stock 1,000 fishes in 10x10 measurement pond, i wanna ask, isn't that too small? when the pond can contain over 3,000fishes

After 5 month i got 900grms to 1.2kg, boss if you stock 3000 fishes in a 10 by 10 pond you will be heading to the greatest loss of all times.you will surely harvest stunted fishes.

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ROBBEN(m): 12:23pm On Aug 12, 2014
robonski15: There was this particular time I wanted to harvest some fish buyerrs came to my farm(iya eleja) and one of them told me she wanted to pee so I instructed my worker to take her to d toilet but unknowingly she went to do some ritual right there in the toilet when she came out she said she wanted to look at the fish so I took her to the pond.. After I completely drained all the water. They said that they can't buy at the stipulated price again,I had to send them away but to my surprise when I wanted to pump water back to the pond guess what the pumping machine did not pump.. U may think its a coincidence but its not it was perfectly planned by them.. I began sourcing for water and I finally had to call them back.. Guess what as I was selling to them and needed water to add to there big bowls the pumping machine picked up..

I have heard so many stories by fish farmers about this women.. If u want to harvest look out for buyers before that time and check out the buyers in terms of character and composure.. Don't allow any dick and harry into your farm all in the name of sale.. Before the buyers come u would have catch a fish as sample to show them and negotiate the price before anytin else... All what am saying may sound strange to some but its one of the hidden truth in catfish business.. Its better to get one good customer than a thousand..

At the fifth month with hard work keeping to details I attained 1kg and above.. The fishes where healthy and strong but it was not easy my brother..
I spent roughly 650,000 on feeding alone.. And I sold all for about 1,800,000.. BOY!!! I was fuffiled and very happy that yes I made it this time around.. So my net profit was roughly 1,000,000 if u subract salary, fuel,drugs etc..

Robonski out of the 4000 fingerlings you stocked did all of them get to 1kg and did you sell at 2 N450
per kg i am assuming that some will not get to 1kg and you migth have to sell at less than N400, Please enlighten me more.

i have researched on it & it is good. Only wise to share things of value with people. Though if d farmer refuses to feed his/her fishes adequately, NO MAGIC, water mgt is also key. I no dey sell am or even dont know their location(where they produce it)

Hello everyone I have been following this wonderful thread for long I believe it is one of the best thread on NL. The data loss was unfortunate but we still have tonnes of valuable info here, kudos to all the gurus, potential gurus and all contributors. I am interested in fish processing (smoking) but I haven't been able to locate any deep discussions on its market potentials and buyers. I am presenting a proposal to an investor next week and the marketing part is lacking in the proposal. I am based in Ijebu ode. Wouldn't mind public or private discussion with practicing catfish smokers. Whatsapp 08023116432 email; eazeefixng@gmail.com. Thanks. Once again kudos to everyone.

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 12:10pm On Aug 14, 2014
Good day to everyone. I noticed that something seems to be eating the tail of my fishes. It starts as scratches on the tail region and within days, it seems to eat of the entire tail of the fish. The fish eventually dies. Please help. I've lost not less than 10 so far with many still injured presently.

NCO is a combination of three antibiotics (Neomycin, Chloramphenicol and Oxytetracycline). Alternatively, you can use tetracycline (may be prepared as oxytetracycline) because it another broad spectrum antibiotic.
