The market is readily available if you can go into processing and export.

I'm still seeking for the availability of market here in abuja as well..Any that knows where they sell catfish of tilapia in large quantities in abuja should please let me know..I want to supply them my processed catfish which was pocessed in an hygenic environment.

Hello People,

I want to start a fish farm in my compound.

And I want it standard.

I live on a 2-plot compound, the other plot is bare.

I need your inputs.

But I don't want anything permanent, would prefer plastic or inflatable ponds.

I want to harvest 500 Catfish in 4 months (just being conservative)

ADVICE please...

NB: I'm a greenhorn.

robonski & excelsior, shoot.

Can I get manuals? mrbanks1917@gmail.com

Hello house,
Is there any remedy for cannibalism?

I have fingerlings and juveniles but their rate of cannibalism is just too high. I use imported feeds but they still devour one another. angry angry angry sad cry cry

remedy?? It is good to always understudy your fishes, their needs i.e. Feeding regime, quantity, do slot of your fishes to have uniform/almost uniform sizes, u should cover your ponds too(keep them in d dark)

Yes, I think so. Thanks for the response. I use coppens and aquafeed. Three times daily. It is so confusing. This is my first time.

I just finished "grading" them now. What I noticed is that when there is a larger fish among smaller ones, the smaller ones will gang up and devour the larger one.

As in scary cannibalism like that of a Holocaust movie. grin angry angry angry sad shocked

I'll try to keep them in the dark and see how it goes. Thank you so much. smiley

Hello Fishfarmers, I have enjoyed reading thru this thread. I am an aspiring fishfamer. I have two plots of land available. I intend to construct concrete bonds for my farm. How many bonds and fishes can be comfortably reared using this available space? How much do you think it will cost me to build this level on this plot and do you think I can put up a viable fish farm on two plots of land? I will be very glad read your comments on this.
