egoldi01:

But what is the crime in assisting others and get banned! This platform has helped so many in a lot of ways - only those whose businesses have been salvaged via concrete advice on this forum can attest to this as I'm a living testament of this. Omooshodi has been very active and helpful of late here. Could this be a witch hunt or what? Please never relent. God bless you and all good minded people on this forum.

hmmm, finally i am here.... 389 pages!!! this is the knowledge base of fish farming. Robonski, exclesior, Ttalk, abx1 and co., may the Almoghty God continue to enrich you guys greatly for unveiling the "hidden secrets of catfish business".

My journey into this business started on the 22nd April 2017 when i was lured into the fish rearing business by a supposed friend (who was only interested in selling tarpaulin pond and expensive fingerlings @N50 naira to me). I was abandoned to my faith as i never saw him again because i guess he has achieved his objective which is to defraud me instead of mentoring me.

i was at cross roads as i had no prior experience until i stumbled on this thread on "the hidden truth of catfish business" on the 25th April 2017, as a good student i took my pen and paper, studied each page on the thread. i must say that as a newbie, i am already equipped with the best practices in catfish business.

Like i said earlier i stocked 1000 fingerlings (only to discover that it wasn't up 700 fingerlings because i was short changed as a result of not counting my fishes when it was delivered to me -- lesson learnt according to the Thread: Always count your fingerlings before you stock.
During the first week, my fingerlings (60 of them) where dying in the first week until i deployed deep water aerator (having read about it in this thread) in the second week. The aerator is integrated into my 2Kva inverter system in my house. Oh least i forget, i have a backyard farm in my house at Abuja measuring 125 Feet by 50 Feet full fenced with borehole to be used for fish farming. i have been getting tips on best practices on fish farming with consulting anyone for the past two months. Now let me share my experience so far with you guys;

1. Most of my fishes attained 400g in exactly two months after stocking (remember i told i did not deploy aerator in the first week)
2. I lost about 60 fingerlings in the first week before deployment of aerator but after the deployment of the aerator i have only lost 1 fish in two moths
3. i measured the weight again of my fish after Two months and 1 week, guess what? they now weigh 500g. That is additional 100g in a week
4. i change my fish pond water every 7 days thus reducing the overhead cost of changing water every 3 days ( the aerators are on 24/7 every day of the month
i don't think i can go with this business without a deep water aerator technology because with dissolved oxygen, your fishes grow faster and there will be no need for medication (as i not bought a single one).
I have sorted my fishes into two different ponds and i have also stcked additional 2000 hybrid fingerlings and so far only three have died as they are in their second week. i will upload pictures later
I really want to appreciate you guys for putting out this info for people like us to utilize. Robonski, i also want to join AQUABREN, please endeavour to furnish with details of how to become a member on my mail workwithclever@gmail.com
Almighty God will continue to bless the works of thy hand.

Emmafly:


from the picture above you have to stop feeding for at least two days. and change their water once a day . this is overfeeding.

Good evening my fellow fish farmers...

I need some advise on an issue bothering me presently, i recently upgraded my tank pond to concrete pond.

Relocating the tanks to another area, i stocked both the tank and concrete at d same time but i sorted both the tank and concrete pond of recent and i noticed that the juveniles in the tank are doing great and the ones in the concrete not so great.

I did all pre stocking operations on d concrete pond quite well...at least to d best of my knowledge and from the ones i learnt from this thread.

I just want to make enquiries if there is anytin I can do or not doing to boost up the growth of the juveniles in the concrete pond...

Thanks in advance.

longjohnsilver:


Hmmm...my people...i still need a good advise on this issue pls.
