Fellow farmers good evening, please does anyone have any idea where I can get collapsible ponds. Thanks for the prompt response.

Good day house, especially the gurus who are always willing to here the up and coming.
I really would love to keep changing water, but I live in the Lekki-Aja corridor and good water is a big deal.
I am putting together the cheapest RAS I can possibly muscle (will share it here when it comes to pass).
However, I will require sincere and time tested answers: What is the correct stocking density for RAS/Flow through/Water changing system?
This is my first big challenge.
Right now, I have two ponds; 15ft(Length) X 7ft(width) X 4ft(depth) and intend to start with one pond and sort into the other when it is time.
Please guys, help me with stocking.
Thanks.

Super Gro Liquid Fertilizer & Super 10 Liquid Pesticide


The Super Gro Liquid Fertilizer is a nontoxic, non caustic and non flammable making it safe and easy to handle and use. Very concentrated and economical, mixed with water in a dilution of 1:1000. Suitable for use on all indoor and outdoor vegetation. Perfect match with Super 10 to drive away ALL insects and pests in your farms when mixed together be fore spraying.

GNLD Super Gro is a miracle wonder formula that increases harvest for crops, trees and fish farmers

Super Gro can also be used to improve the quality in; FISH FARMING; Catfish, etc

How Does GNLD Super Gro Works; On one hand, an adjuvant is an agent designed to aid in substances’ action. On the other hand, surfactants are wetting agents.

As a surfactant, GNLD Super Gro acts as an emulsifier to disperse oils, as a wetting agent to lower surface tension and as a dispersing agent to reduce adhesion between particles of chemicals, so they will spread and remain in solution longer.
GNLD Super Gro makes other agricultural treatments a farmer uses (like fertiliser, insecticides and pesticides), perform better by helping them penetrate deeper, stick better, stay longer and work more effectively.

GNLD’s Super Gro Natural Liquid Fertilizer improves crop yield by as much as 167% during harvest.
Use with Super 10 to kill and drive off ALL insects and pects from your crops, plants and or animals**

Pls, drain the pond by covering the pipe mouth with net. Pick out the dead.
Separate the weak from healthy ones.
Put them in separate bowls containing little amount of water. Apply procaine penicilline(injection powder). Pour out the water after 2-3mins and re-stock d healthy ones first, then d unhealthy after 15-20hrs or 1day.
...to be continue.

Thanks alot. I treated them and the mortality has reduced very well. Seems my inexperience in counting here

Thanks boss

nafresh:
First of all let me give kudos to whom it is due. I have been quietly enjoying this thread. To the initiator and contributors, well done. Wisdom and knowledge will not finish from where you are getting it.

This thread inspired me to start fish farming and so far so good.

I have a question. Is there anyone offering catfish drying as a service ( Lagos only) ? If you have a fish drying oven / kiln on your farm and you will like to offer the service, please contact me on Whatsapp 08030470894 or send me a message here.

Thanks

Where is your location in Lagos.

swissflow:


Thanks boss. A friend is bringing it in for me, I will let you in as soon as I get the details.

pls let us know the price. I will be very interested in that low wattage pump if the price is reasonable.
I am aware of some China products (as low as 100watts) that sell for about 60k say. They are also submersible with maximum depth of 120ft.

My greetings to all
Please just want to know approximately how many bags of feed will 1000 juveniles consume in two months. Please state them in mm
Thanks inadvance

Good morning house, please does anyone have 1kg table size fresh catfish for sale in port harcourt

@excelsiorfarm , good afternoon sir. Please sir I want to know if the cold water from the tank outside can have any bad effect on fries. after reading trough ronboski thread, I decided to set up a small hatchery at home to solve the problem of buying runt seeds for my farm, the production was successful and they are 11 days old now, the weather is really cold here and I am losing much fries from 2 days ago, so I want to know if the problem is the water coming in from the tank, cause I do flow thru 24/7..

Thank God. If d reminant are up to 1k. I advice that u have another pond so as to regulate d stock density. Your pond dimension may not support 1k fishes for optimum growth. CHANGE YOUR WATER at least once a week or practice flow-through system. Good luck.

if extreme? it could, but you could take precaution by not allowing the water level to be too high, you could cover your pond(to generate some heat) or prevent releasing the water very early in the day or late at night into the hatchery tank. Also check your feeding or if your tank is slimy for possible cause of mortality, stop 24/7 flow through,especially at period of low temperature,do dripping or get an aerator.

All the best.

You didnt describe in detail the condition of your fries, you only assume it could be as a result of cold. Are they hanging? What is the water temperature in the morning and in the evening?

Apply excelsiorfarm prescription if it you are sure the mortality is as a result of cold

Thanks for the quick response. I will take to your advice, I feed Durantee 0.2mm very little but I noticed that even after leaving the feed for about an hour I will come back to some floating or settles at the center of the vat, which I always siphon. I will avoid morning and night flow thru. I have a solar aerator I use almost 24/7. Please how many times daily should I feed? I feed 3 times daily, morning afternoon and evening around 6pm. Thanks for the help sir..

@ttalk I didn't see anything wrong with them, most of them ( bigger ones ) always swim at the bottom , and some little fries at the top. I didn't check the water temperature, I mentioned the cold cause thats the only thing I could point at, Dont know if there is anything I am doing wrong, I do flow thru 24/7, siphon the dirt and dead fries everyday and their water is very clean.

Ttalk:


Can you please give the name of the pump that pump at 100watt

honestly I can't remember. But it is a Chinese product and I saw it in Alibaba.
I also contacted a solar pump dealer here on Nairaland who said he has sold it to some clients before now.
I will look for our chat and post it here

it isn't the number of times that you feed, but the quantity you feed per time that would decide what could happen. Either over feeding or under feeding. Overfeeding is worse, many things will happen quickly that creates unpleasant issues. From what you wrote, you give a bit more, hence you siphon excess

Good morning my Ogas in the house. Thanks for the great job here.

I'm a complete novice just about to start out in fish farming. I have been given access to a fish pond (earthen) and will like to seek expert advice on what to do as first step prior to stocking. Please note that this pond has been stocked twice by the previous owner though he was just using his own guidelines. Since I will be using this pond commercially now,i really need your insights. This is the pond as it is right now....please what will be the first step to take?

Cc: excelsiorfarm,robonski15 et al

Thanks and will await your responses.

if you mean Real business, the surrounding is too bushy and that environ will no doubt house uncountable numbers of predators, also pump out the water to have a knowledge of the pond, what is in it, how far/fast it fills back etc. Remove that shrub, it could encourage some predators.

The pond looks irregular i.e. no define boundaries. When you sort those out, then treatment, if need be.

@ excelsior farm: thanks for the response.

I sent you a mail on training please revert.

Please ooo my experts,i really do mean business. The main reason I came for help
This is the pond from another angle
Thank you sirs!

@ excelsior farm: thanks for the response.

I sent you a mail on training please revert.

I had seen your mail, the answers are as follows; if group training of minimum of 4-5 days and maximum of a week, all participant pays 10k each. If an individual, sames timing, it is 25k. That is for hatchery.

For Grow out, we start from the hatchery and i advice such trainee to come in at least once a week if the busy type or as often as possible if less busy.

If i am interested to help and i have the time or doing production or project, i call in those in need to join me for FREE, provided they could pay for their transport to the location.

Having written all this, i already stated that presently i am in school, i need to be focus because i believe God to take me to a goal, hence i had stopped every form of training or production until some educational structures are in place(to read no be small thing when there are lots of attaching responsibilities and obligation). So my fellow Nigerian, you have to seek in your locality or even on this thread someone that you could understudy maybe depending on your agreement with your choice of individual.

All i do mostly is advisory for now, except if by chance or someone close invites me to come assess his work/farm or a friend, so that we could reason together on improving it or getting more from little.

Wherever you are, i can still do that for you. I don't travel like before(i have many reasons to decline such gesture)

I WISH YOU SUCCESS AND THE VERY BEST SIR.
