Not yet oh . . . .Still learning embarassed


No big deal.... you'll start some day soon.. its good to learn as much as possible about a venture before you commence an investment. In addition, ensure you secure guidance from people with experience. Thumbs up though. grin grin grin

interesting.. how do you cope with security issues sir?

Still in discussions with the community around the area.... I have not stocked the cage yet. Hope to do that once I get at least 1 or 2 community members engaged to oversee the feeding in my absence. I intend to increase the number & size of cages as well.

if they re still dropping in numbers u can go ahead and treat them that way.
but most cases i use keproceryl instead of tetracycline.
but next tym try and do preventive measure wit dat solution from week 1 after hatching

I just added enough water to the one in the pond and it works. the problem is the p.h of the water. More thanks to Mr Robonski and the house. God bless!

I saw bruises on like four of them and he said they will heal up.

Any tip on how to take care of the bruises? He said others might likely eat them but am not OK with that.

Thank you.


Seperate the bruised ones and keep dem in a seperate pond or tank to heal if d bruises are not much. If d bruises are much, just kill, cook and eat them or dey will eventually die in d pond.
If u leave dem with the other fishes, dey will be killed and eaten by them. Fishes go after anytin dat smells of blood.

you can decide to build a poultry, piggery over your pond , even channel your toilet waste to ponds. But i consider such irritating and unhygienic. If you manage well your fishes will still be big, depending also on feed quality with seeds

China sewage waste and Nigerian sewage waste... not sure the same quality would come from both... ? just imagining

Oga mi, can u elucidate more on d poultry over the fish pond? Would the fishes eat all the poutry droppings as it falls? Wat about water pollution? Also do av an idea of d ideal number of stocking density for the chickens to fishes.

yes.ive heard of using poultry droppings to feed fish. dt guy dt was supposed to mentor me told me dt if i cannot make it to the earthen pond to feed the fish for a day or two, there is a way to use poultry droppings to feed them. So sad we had issues cos of greed.

i also heard dried poultry droppings can replace soy or bambaranut or ur source of protein in local feed formulation.


I cannot cannot imagine the kind ofstench dt will be oozing into d neighbourhood.

nb- driedpoultry manure is 30% protein.

guy, ive nt done dt b4 , bt there are lots of research materials on dt . You can google it. The reseach has it is only harmful if the chicken dt the manure is gotten from has birdflu. The manure is also not palatable, so other ingredients are dded to the manure to make it palatable to cow, sheep, goat and fish.
Also, anyone dt can feed fish with maggots (fattening for fish) wont blink an eye on adding chicken manure.

I recal dt my supposed mentor advised my friend dt wanted to dig a pit for his drainage dt after hatching, he shld collect his runts and put in the drainage pit . dt after 4months, he will be surprised how big the fish will be.

No wonder the gill of fish is removed. They are omnivorus and eat anything.

except it is radioactive Material or contaminated, it should have gone thru processes in d animals that would had neutralize it, but i blieve any health expert should help on d biological processes; though i dont encourage such act. Dont be greedy, dont go pooing into your ponds because you want to reduce feeding cost(laugh)
