JuveFarms:@ JuveFarms I use an industrial tank of 1000liters and a water tank of close to d same capacity. But if I may confess, the water level isn't great cos I actually purchase water. So could that be a growth hindering factor? Tnx sah. The water tank has abt 300+ jumbo sized (2 mnths after I stocked them as juveniles) and d industrial tank has 130+ average sized with a maximum level of 100liters of water. |

robonski15:. yeah though it's location dependent. since it's a non conventional feedstuff, it's not readily available in commercial quantity. |

Olamitisoji: my Oga, I really appreciate ur zeal, I heard Nigeria imports tonnes of fishes every year while we can farm same here so I took d zeal as u have it here. after all the advice like u got it here I still decide to go for 8000 tho doing that on my own risk. the stock will b 6wks tomorrow from fingerling and the are doing well, I have lest than 20 dead so far (that's d ones I notice). so bro don't b discouraged. after digging ur ponds u can treat with lime and leave it for 7days b4 stocking, then u re good to go. check my thread on agricnetworkforum "up coming fish fermer'. there u ll c how I start and ask ur qstns. thanks 2 Likes |

korel9:@korel9, Catfish farming is no Rocket science, if u feel your management proceedure is wrong, probably its wrong. Were is your Ponds Location, 100litres Maximum in 1000litres Capacity tank, I wonder wots Minimum just a taught thou. @ 2months after stocking Juveniles Sizes we should be looking @ 300+ Melange. I also strongly advice current fish farmer& intending ones to try as much as possible to cut down on cost (Water,Boosters,etc) Boosters is no medication for Runts to turn Shooters. Tnx |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by noblefarm: 11:07am On May 25, 2015 |
JuveFarms: I believe same too that's why I insisted on taking d risk of stocking 8000 as a starter, would have done more but for d advice and how d mkt would be I stopped at 8k. if the mkt is as I was told I gonna go 30-50k |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Johnnyessence(m): 11:54am On May 25, 2015 |
amadex:no it won't affect in fact it helps them more at least it's good to start feeding them 2mm size of feed.multi feed is OK too in fact I used multi feed to the table size and I see a lot of differences in their weight. happy farming. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Johnnyessence(m): 11:56am On May 25, 2015 |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by karlxavier(m): 1:37pm On May 25, 2015 |
please goodday, what is the best feed to give your catfish to attain 1kg size asap. i have an uncle that's doing it but he is confused on whether using coppens or vital feeed and also, how can one get formulate feeds for your fishes when they are above three months. gurus in the house, please reply with suggestions. thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Fumbaby: 4:53pm On May 25, 2015 |
cross234:Both........ |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 5:12pm On May 25, 2015 |
amadex: 1.8mm and 2mm is too small for post juveniles.. 3mm is the ideal size to feed juveniles. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Johnnyessence(m): 6:08pm On May 25, 2015 |
karlxavier:still be feeding them 4mm feeds oooo till 4months when they reach 4 months,change d feed to 6mm size then add some chicken liver to them to make them big more. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by jaz(m): 6:08pm On May 25, 2015 |
oga i sent you an email oo. waiting for your response. robonski15: |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Belexy(m): 6:09pm On May 25, 2015 |
karlxavier: Consider the costs too... Coppens is too expensive to use all through. He shd try Vital feed or Top Feeds. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Belexy(m): 6:15pm On May 25, 2015 |
JuveFarms: noblefarm: Yes you are very right, volume matters a lot but its d quality (weight and size) dat now determines the profits in d long run. A farmer should take calculated risks. An infant does not start eating adult food frm birth, its a graudal process. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by jamyde: 7:49pm On May 25, 2015 |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Matt2020(m): 9:16am On May 26, 2015 |
House please I need urgent assistance. My fish has been consuming 1bag per meal but since Sunday they can't even finish half bag. Today when I reduced the water in earthen pond, I suspect there may be bacteria in the pond because every object (Sand bags, sticks & d rest) in the pond has grown white hair on their bodies and the body of some of the fishes are turning whitish also. Kindly help me with the kind of treatment I could apply pls. |
