fish booster are just multivitamin drugs for the fish. it boost their appetite, thereby making them to grow better. but all other conditions must be met. I.e water must always be clean, your fish must also be of high standard, not overcrowded among others. Livestovit is an example of such.

I totally agree with you.

Tank u sah for ur quick response. I've not taken time to measure their exact weight though I'll do dat soon. I can bet u d seeds are good ones except for how minimal their water had been from the start.
Does the quantity of dia water affect their growth cos the cost of buying water is very high.

You have identified one of the problems: WATER! Thats good. Yes, the water level/quantity will affect the water quality and in turn affect ur water management as a whole.

This is one of the facinating thread that I have seen so far. Thanks to Mr Robonski and the others...... Please I want to know if a million naira will be able to feed 10,000 fingerlings to table size. If not how much should one's estimation be like. Thanks.

A million naira cannot feed 10,000 fishes. You will need about N3,000,000 for that number of fishes.

Yea, I have a borehole. I am preparing a plan of the cost. I also need the cost of feeding such a number of fishes from fingerlings to table size. I do have about 2 plot of land also.

okay, as for d cost of feeding 10k fingerlings budget between 250-300 naira.

I am at Ibadan we can talk on modalities to deliver to you in Lagos. In large quantity.

Your question hd bn well answered by BELEXYFARMS & Tbagwell1. Divide your capital by #300. It'll tell you the number of fishes you can ADEQUATELY CATER for till maturity.

My Ogas in the house, am just a starter in the fish farm. Please I went to feed the fishes this morning and I discovered that one has wounds all over the body and about three fishes are bringing their nose up to the water level. Pls Sirs what should do? The pond is an earthen pond and the fish is about 3weeks now.
Please I would appreciate you quick response.
God bless you all.

Good morning to everyone in the house, Thanks to all who have imparted knowledge in the best way they can, I'm Opeoluwa, my husband and I are into fish farming .....On May 3rd, he -stocked his pond with 4000 pieces of fingerlings with the hope that he'll get some money from a cooperative institution to finance the feeding of the fish, but was all to no avail as we keep borrowing money in small amounts just to feed the fish every week, there was this time(last week) the fish didn't feed for up to a week, recently we got some money to feed but I noticed that the fish are aren't growing, majority of them are still melange and I noticed that they're overcrowded , note that we can sort cos we are only managing d money we have on us....
Pls experts in the house advice me on how not to run into total loss on this present one we are rearing, given all the conditions stated above.....Thanks in anticipation of your response .

The only advice I can give you is to sell the smaller ones as melange and perhaps restock the bigger ones, with that, you will use the money you gained from selling them to feed the rest. You can as well try to find their Avg weight and use dat to multiply their number, So with that, you can deduce the Expected KG at sale

I agree with princemolak submission, sort the fishes big/small use the money at hand to feed, sell the smaller ones as mélange and feed the bigger ones with part of the money to maturity..

now dis question needs urgent attention. It seems to be a peculiar case to me. Please all the experts shud respond ASAP so dat we can all learn. Personally I don't have an answer cos I am still very green. But very willing to learn b4 I commence

Pls someone should verify this statement, Mr Robonski said that he spent roughly 650,000 on feeding 4000 fiishes, that means to feed 10,000 should be roughly estimated at 1.7mills. We are all learning here, thanks.

There was this particular time I wanted to harvest some fish buyerrs came to my farm(iya eleja) and one of them told me she wanted to pee so I instructed my worker to take her to d toilet but unknowingly she went to do some ritual right there in the toilet when she came out she said she wanted to look at the fish so I took her to the pond.. After I completely drained all the water. They said that they can't buy at the stipulated price again,I had to send them away but to my surprise when I wanted to pump water back to the pond guess what the pumping machine did not pump.. U may think its a coincidence but its not it was perfectly planned by them.. I began sourcing for water and I finally had to call them back.. Guess what as I was selling to them and needed water to add to there big bowls the pumping machine picked up..

I have heard so many stories by fish farmers about this women.. If u want to harvest look out for buyers before that time and check out the buyers in terms of character and composure.. Don't allow any dick and harry into your farm all in the name of sale.. Before the buyers come u would have catch a fish as sample to show them and negotiate the price before anytin else... All what am saying may sound strange to some but its one of the hidden truth in catfish business.. Its better to get one good customer than a thousand..

At the fifth month with hard work keeping to details I attained 1kg and above.. The fishes where healthy and strong but it was not easy my brother..
I spent roughly 650,000 on feeding alone.. And I sold all for about 1,800,000.. BOY!!! I was fuffiled and very happy that yes I made it this time around.. So my net profit was roughly 1,000,000 if u subract salary, fuel,drugs etc..

Manweysabi:
Huh?

yes boss... Feeding fishes is not beans
