Hello house. Please I will like to know how long I'm supposed to wait before changing water for my fishes after feeding them. I give them 4 hours now. Dnt know if it's enough. Thanks.

You shd not change water after feeding or else dey will just vomit their feed.
The ideal ting is for u to change water first, allow dem rest to recover frm d stress of water change and den feed dem.

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.

Bros a two plot of land is enough and moreover as a newbie you need to start small to learn the ropes before expanding.. I will advice you hook up with a good consultant to assist in mapping out the farm layout, pond construction, technical know etc.. Where is your location??

have u guys heard of d enzymes dt are mixed in feed to make them eat more and mature in 3months?
i went to a colleagues small farm yeserday. The guy is a very close friend. He told me he will be resigning from his banking job next year and going full time into agric. He told me he makes 100 percent any amount he spends in his farm. I decided to visit his farm yesterday and see things for myself. I was so impressed. Seeing the fish eat in their concrete pond made me so happy. its like giving food to ur pet. Apart from fishery, he also has layers , turkey and plantain. he has boreholes and overhead tanks. I also refered him to this thread to learn more from the experts ans be better. He then told me he has plans to learn feom the biggest fishery guy in town. The guy spawns and is in advanced stage of fishery. His fish matures in 3months. He also has fishes dt are very big and weigh as much as 13 to 20 kg. Ive heard of d guy bt dont even know he is a brother to a friend. I will have to work my way into d families heart and find a way to learn from them.

Fishery is good but you should patiently weigh ur options since you have little capital. Remember profit is not automatic (its much easier to make loss dan profit in fish farming) and if u av no prior experience it might not be easy sailing for u for ur first batch.
#first and foremost go through this thread and read it from the beginning before u even build ur ponds. Come back here and ask questions and pple will assist to the best of their knowledge.
I wish u success in whatever you do.

Thanks. But the fact remains that you need to change the water . I'm asking how long it takes to change the water without them vomiting their food.

Thanks @robonski15. I appreciate your advice. My location is Port Harcourt. I am drawing up my business plan and I would like to have an idea of the capacity of fishfarm that a the two plots can accommodate. When you say 'start small' what do mean? How many ponds and fishes do you think I should start with?

Please do anyone know where in abuja that they bought smoked,spiced and package catfish in large quantities.

I'm based in abuja but my production factory is located in minna..NAFDAC approved my product....I will really appreciate any information please..

@ please what process did you go through for nafdac to approve your product (nafdac number) and how much did you pay?

@Condi1704, like i said before price varies pending on quantity you are ordering & your Location. Talking about sincerity, pure hetero is almost impossible to predict its exact age. Cos they are reproduced in the wild.

I would like to buy 1000 pieces. What's your last price and can you send to portharcourt?
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by jam04(m): 4:15pm On Oct 13, 2014

You will have to follow some procedures when processing and it must be in an hygienic environment.You will have to do some biochemical tests as well......after which you will now invite them for inspection,they will take your product with them as well for test before they give you the nafdac number.

Many thanks brother,I have said it all the other time when I posted all that is to be done. Let me say it again,you need to start production,a good smoking kiln,you need to be mindful of the king of smoke,electric is highly preferred than other because of too much of heavy metals,you need to carry out a test on your product yourself,NAFDAC is looking for the heavy metals,if its above the required amount by WHO,they will disqualify your product...once you are sure that this is less than the required standard...you prepare the kind of packaging you want to use,anytype should not allow water,you package it seal it and ready for the market...To learn this in details..you need to give me an invite to your desired place so that I will inspect and teach you all you have to do and how you will go about it...its something worth it if you need it.

the weight of your fishes will be determined by available space, breed, if your fishes feed, they will increase in weight, i wont want to say in capativity it isnt visible,because if d room is there & your fish feed(good stock), they continue to grow, i had seen 8kg in captivity, if they are still being kept by d owner, they should had increase in size; it isnt good that one condemn without verification or questions, d question that would have been ask is d age of d fishes/ how long d farmer use to attain it. I hope he shares his enzyme, but i know livfit vet(but i dont know if it still exist, i havent come in touch with it again/recently), good for incredible result i.e. It exists & hasnt being compromise
