Just to add that prolonged exposure of feeds to heat/sunlight can reduce the feed's nutrient, hence the need to be discreet

Hello Great People, my fish are 12 weeks old from hatchery (though 6 weeks with me) and I still feed them with 2mm thrice a day. Please can the house confirm if am in order or I should reduce the feeding to twice a day? Again, please at what age do I change to 3mm.

Three times is good, change feed when you notice the feed is too small in proportion to their mouth..

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by knoxx: 11:05pm On Sep 30, 2016
How are fishes doing now sir? Hop you didn't have any issues. I would like to stock up in a weeks time. Am having challenges getting quality fishes from a trusted breeder. I would be gratefully if you and excelsior can help sir.
igchuks:


The target is melange. I have 3 earthen ponds measuring 40x24x3, 40x20x3 and 40x18x3. All in ft. I know it will gulp alot I have planned for it. Mortality could be btw 50-100 though I couldn't count as they are yet to surface and float. Unless a miracle happened and they are alive.

Generally they are doing fine and I moved feeding to tomorrow morning. The transporting medium was a 50L jerrican filled with water a little above the middle mark. I did add a lil red oil as advise. I believe the mortality was as a result of overcrowding because there was no mortality in the jerrican with 500 juveniles. I put the jerricans in my trunk, turned on the AC and opened the hatch that connects the trunk and the car so that the AC could reach them. After releasing them in the pond I added a lil salt to the pond.

Attached are pics of the juveniles and pond

I will give a guide, so, you can compute it on your own if you wish to tweak the other factors/ variables.

Let's assume you target 400grams (0.4kg) weight per fish.

Total weight at harvest = 0.4 * 3000 = 1200 KG
Assuming ideal FCR of 1:1, to calculate how many bags of 15kg feed will be needed; 1200/15 = 80

That means you will need about 80 bags of 15KG feed to feed your 3000 juveniles.
