I use AQUA-LUSH Artemia.... I do feed them every 4hrs

That's the answer to your question, discard the used of artemia, I experienced such with aqua lush.

But they are already sick so treat with salt.

Use either Coppens 0.2 or skreting Gwean1

Remember to feed very little

Fish feed formulation is not a big deal and there are affordable machines as low as 400,000 naira for the production of floating fish feed.
And as you said the use of blood meal is risky, it's high in crude protein buy also increase your risk factors in farming when not properly processed.

I can help out with your feed formulation requests.

As LOW? As N400,000??

Don't understand you, do you make your own feed or you're interested in learning.
I don't use skretting, I start with coppens and switch to prime. Skretting is scarce here in my area

To my knowledge, I use skretting to grow out my fish from 3mm to 4mm to 6mm. Skretting is a good product but you can't compare it to Prime feed or Alaqua. Skreeting feed is close to the set of Vital feeds and Blue crown feeds
Also, there are two types of skretting feeds. The ones that come in light green lining bagand the once that comes in deep brown lining Bag. The fiist is called skretting essential while the second is called skretting d..... (not sure).. But in my farm.. I use the essential, and the value I get on my fish justify the little cost of 6k I buy per bag... The price of prime here is 8500.. Alaqua 8k...

So is left for you... Some of my colleagues mix feeds to get result too..

Lastly.. Water management is essential when feeding.. To maximum your feed value.. Make sure you water is clean before feeding.. For me.. I don't waste my feed when I can see clearly that the smell of my fish water isn't good..

Hope I justify your question..


To my fellow fish farmers in the house.. Register your Limited Liability company for just 85k... My signature will take you to my trend that have more than 200 commendations...

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Mobola33(m): 4:14pm On Sep 04, 2018
Am a newbie here, I have a collapsible tank for over 5yrs which I intended to rear fish in before for trial, I couldn't made that possible because I was so busy then. And now, I just decided to do it, I went to a fish farm and the farmer told me he would like to dispose some fishes because because his trampoline is torn, and the fish is already @ jumbo juvenile stage, he sold to me @ 35naira per one and I bought 500pieces from him. I just need more advice here. I have been feeding them with poultry waste (cooked), and I bought skretting mixed with coppens 2mm.. I am finding this very lucrative. Advice needed please!!

Artemia should be used by experienced farmers. It is also a good first feed for fries but there are alternatives. I've made a post about this long ago but it appears no one tried it as I got no feedback so I took it out

I recently changed from floating feeds to sinking feed for my fishes averaging 500g, however their feed intake has been quite discouraging. They hardly take 2kg feed per day while they do take 5kg floating feed daily. What am I not doing right.. I am a newbie and this is my first production.
Seriously need your help!

You need to resume feeding with floating pellets ASAP.

From your mentor you might have learnt the difference and use of sinking and floating pellets respectively. Also, that sinking pellets are to be used by skilled farmers only but you're still a newbie.

As a newbie this is not time to experiment. Follow guidelines to the letter until you've acquired some experience and some Return on Investment, then you can start playing with your investment wink. Do it right and you will get it right.
