Heloo everyone and my super bosses. So, I set out to get a multivitamin in abeokuta and I didn't get the 'loudest' ones I.e livestovit and aquapro. I was however able to get one MAXI-yield (I pray it will be equally effective).

How do I apply this to my pond, I mean the frequency of application and quantity. It smells nice tho . Yes, I have 1200 juvenile in the pond!

Hello farmers let's be careful of ppl we deal or send our heard earn money to in the quest to buy feed, always consult deeply for pathing with ur money... just heard a story of a farmer @ Benin who just got burnt by 1 Abubaka and Desmond. Who were to send feed to him after he had pay into their account.

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..

@Ttalk thanks for the feed pellet and also for the great information of Grinding Guys along Abuja Kaduna Road. I was able to produce my first home formulated feed. Also to Abix Formulation

Ttalk:


My boss, we are here to assist ourselves, i hope your fish are feeding frenzy with the pelletised feed, it will as well boost their growth because of the high percentage of fishmeal in it.

The remaining one has been pelletised, will take it along to work tomorrow.

What type of fish meal are you using, seems you guys in the north are lucky, you have different varieties of fish to choose from at cheap price

medakinzo:


Ttalk, thanks for being one of those that have helped keep this thread one of the most informative and helpful threads, ever, on Nairaland. More power to your elbow.

Pls, I need your help too - I want to explore the possibility of fish feed formulations for my catfishes. This combination of austere times and increased prices of imported, even local, feeds is killing my budget for rearing till cropping. Come to your boy's rescue o, bossman... Lol.

My number is 08138923687 (Call and Whatsapp). You could just flash me, and I'll call back. Thx bro.

Hello

Two Types you mean?

1. gelatin Flaoting feed
2. gelatin Sinking feed

There is 30Kg and 50kg that’s the ones I know.
The 30KG floating feed was sold to me for N7, 500 in Kuje – Abuja the Sinking 50KG is N10,500 while the floating 50kg is N12,500

If we all pass the word around and we can be strict on our farms, we should be able to increase the farmgate price of fish. Nothing is impossible and catfish farmers even if on small scale level should be able to live as comfortably as their counterparts with white collar jobs

N. B. Increasing the farmgate price of fish is just one way to alleviate the high operating costs in recent times. We should also look inwards and try to reduce our operating costs in all aspects.

bruseeky:

Thanks a lot. as at last year September, 18ft X 10ft cost 90000 and 10ft X 10ft was 50000.
