Very well then..am guessing u taught her abt hatching/fish farming coz she TLD me she has learnt it afta I introduced it to her. Can I have ur whatsapp number pls?

House please, any fish farmer in Ilorin here?? I don't even know any

The fact is out of that 11,000 pieces...the good ones may not be more than 3000 pieces. It is enough to bring back the return on your investment. Others will be reared for 4 1/2 to 5months after which I will sell them off.

BELEXYFARMS:
Yes bro, dats very true. The very good ones are just like 20% to 30% from what I have noticed on my farm but I have been rearing all to 5months (both good and bad ones) which to me is not very wise of me to have been doing bcoz the time and effort one should have used on the very good fast growing ones are now used on the ones dat wont do too well.

ab1x:
If you can target 4 and half months, it is fine. You will sell the ones that did not grow well and use the money to feed the ones that grows well. Atimes, the ones that did not grow very well gives me the return on investment or almost or half. As soon as you sell them off, u stock another set.

WhoBeThisMan:
oga ab1x thanks for this info. Pls clarify are you saying he should sell the ones that didn't grow well at 4 and half months? Or to target selling the good ones by 4 and half month at full size?
And also what is the return on investment you normally target when you stock?

Thanks for sharing all these info with us

ab1x:
Sell the ones that did not do well first before selling the ones that does well. It must be 100% return on investment

How are you guys able to do a constant flow through with your earthen pond ? Will be awesome if you have pictures to show us too . . .

Fhemmmy:

I use 4 and half inches pipe to channel the water inside the pond from the stream which will call inlet and use another 4 and half to channel the water out from another angle usually extreme(outlet). I will send the pics tomorrow

Fhemmmy:
Awesome, and the outlet water is flowing into a gutter or a river or is it recycled to be re-used ?

ab1x:
back into the stream which other ponds makes use of

WhoBeThisMan:
is it possible in some other way apart from stream, to make a flow through for tapolyn or concrete pond?

ab1x:
Of course it is possible. I am presently moving to another site. The new place is the real deal. You will do an industrial borehole that water will be coming out naturally without using pumping machine to pump it unless you want to make it rush out with more pressure. Thus, there is constant water 24/7

Tripodmode:

@Simcha
In response to your questions, I would love to contribute to the best of my knowledge. I dont know the institution in which you are being offered this admission but I'll like to say that a good grade from a reputable institution would take you far in the labour market. Any degree course in an institution is marketable provided it is accredited. Also, becoming an enterpreneur does not necessarily mean you have to bag a degree in such field. You can attend seminars, you can attend trainings, etc. If you are so keen on animal science, you can take a masters in it after your first degree in this particular course you are given.

BELEXYFARMS:
Thats nice. The fingerlings we buy in lagos are now so tiny in size... The hatchers seem to be selling them at smaller sizes now than what i was used to.

Simcha:
The school is Ekiti state university. Thanks for your advice.

Teepompey:
This is indeed an hidden truth. Boss, pls at what month can one really ascertain the shooters out of the not well growing ones? Also, can you pls give the break down of the floating feeds you use for the 11000? I really appreciate your effort on this great thread.

ab1x:
Do the first sorting one and half month and the second sorting when they are two and half month. There is no way I can give you the exactly break down since fish respond to feeding more than the other. The basic rule is to feed them with 0.5mm, 0.8mm and 1.2mm before changing to local feeds. Also, do not stock the 11,000 pieces in one pond. I will advise you stock them into 2500/3000 pieces per pond to avoid over stocking.
