@Olamitisoji, pls bro i understand your passion but dont be discourage by the response offered as it is the best that will save you of loss of your hard earned money. Kindly grow your business gradually even if you have enough money to start big. You can save the rest, fixed it until the appropriate time when you would have acquired necessary knowledge to expand it. Also you can invest part of the money in assets that will be required in near future to expand your farm. |

My experienced brothers/sis in the house, please at what month will clarias[dutch]/hybrid catfish attain its maximum growth?. In order word, at what month should one sell his/her fish so as not to waste unnecessary money on feeding catfish that would no longer grow so as to maximise profit? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 3:32pm On May 21, 2015 |
Cleoo: I don't have the farmers contact. It was a friend/neighbour that is a bank manager in ihiala that told me of the big farmer during the course of one of our discussions. He told me its a very big place. Ask around, especially in locations where they sell feed. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by korel9: 2:49pm On May 23, 2015 |
Good day house. It's been a while since I last posted anything on this thread. Please if I may ask, please what are the factors that hinder the growth of the fish and what are those that can promote their growth? Also, how long will it take for d fish to attain 1kg of weight (if at all they would)? Thanks in advance. Cc robonski15 et al |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 4:39pm On May 23, 2015 |
korel9:@korel9, indeed quite a while. Don't be a stranger here, poor management in general hinders speedy growth. Cos even if good fingerlings/Juveniles dat r managed wrongly won't grow. What promotes proper growth is good feed & feeding habit, also good seed has a vital role in determining if the fishes will ever attain 1kg. Thou I don't believe in Multivitamins/booster. On average it should take fingerlings maximum of 5-6months to attain 1kg, otherwise its not wise to keep feeding & hoping for 1kg. Tnx 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by korel9: 6:13pm On May 23, 2015 |
JuveFarms: Thank u sir for d swift response. But if I may ask, what's ur definition of "poor management"? Which feed would u recommend as d best? I feed them with vital feeds though. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by manya(m): 6:31pm On May 23, 2015 |
my question goes to Robonski, please i want to buy broodstock for my hatching next month, where and how can i get good variety that will yield better result. the ones whose off-spring will grow bigger and faster? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 9:57pm On May 23, 2015 |
korel9:yeah its been a while we last saw your comments, juve farm has said it all... www.agricnetwork.com |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 10:03pm On May 23, 2015 |
korel9:@Korel9, good management is changing the water when due to enable them respond to feeding, feeding them daily, giving them medication when due. Vital feed is good, but its best b4 using Vital you start with Coppens, Multi Feed or AquaFeed(USA). NB: Even with the best management runts won't grow +vely. Tnx |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 10:08pm On May 23, 2015 |
manya: Where is your locations sir, there are farms that sell parent stock.. Buy only above 1kg and test the female to know if she is ripe enough. check agricnetwork for more info. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by korel9: 4:56am On May 24, 2015 |
JuveFarms: @JuveFarms, tank u sah Funny enough I actually started them off with Coppens and after a month I switched to Vital. I feed them to satiation twice a day but still thee growth rate I expect is not what I'm seeing (Note: I stocked them as juveniles) Does the amount of water where I stock them in have any role to play in this? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 6:43am On May 24, 2015 |
korel9:@korel9, what kind of pond do u use & what's d size, how many juveniles did u stock?, how often do u flush their water?. Tnx |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by korel9: 7:20am On May 24, 2015 |
JuveFarms: Gud morning sah. I use plastic ponds and I stocked 625 juveniles. When I sorted them early dis month I discovered about 111 of d juves were gone (most likely to cannibalism). I change their water every 2 days. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 12:12pm On May 24, 2015 |
korel9: I have a question on cannibalism. Is it possible for a fish to eat a smaller fish and finish it within 3days (that we change water) and not leave even the head or the bones? |
