Can one use a 50 litres gallon to rear fish just for family consumption?

Deliagroup:
ok sir thanks, for the feed I don't know yet, I will go to the market next week, so I speak to one or two persons

aitanofi:
Great farmers... I am new in the business and I would love answers to a few questions.

Presently administering Bluecrown feed for my �.

1. Is this product suitable enough for starter like me?

2. I have slightly above 1500 post juvenile of 6 weeks. When can I integrate their feed from 2mm to 3mm.

3. Presently feeding them twice a day, wouldn't it affect their growth rate if I chose to be feeding once daily?

I honestly require answers from the experienced farmers.

Regards all

why can't you use storex tank.

joycluv:
Are you answering the question or asking another question?

9jahotblog:
answering the question.

start imported feeds like aller aqua, coppens, multi feeds with them. if it's juveniles, start feeding them with 2mm sized imported feeds for 1 week, then you can continue with 3mm in the second week. you can used 6-7 bags of imported feeds for a whole month, then you can used blue crown local feeds in the 2 months. blue crown is a Nigeria made feeds. it's advisable to start juveniles or post juveniles with imported feeds for a whole month. post juveniles fish can eat 3mm feed at a goal.

Am a bit confused with your analysis here and am so much surprised that no one bothered to point your error thereby misleading so many people who came here for solution.

You stated that 2mm should be used for one week and then switch to 3mm in the second week. Sir, i dont agree with this, rather i will suggest 2mm be used between 3-4 weeks of starting.

Am okay with your other suggestions.

Please how many fingerlings can i stock in 8ft by 8ft concrete Pond till maturity.

stan4b:

I'm not entirely Ok with most of his point. I believe d guy should feed according to his pocket, a post juvenile fish will still do well with blue crown 2 mm for 3 weeks. After all said and done, I believe it boils down to individuals.

9jahotblog:
post the pictures of your pond here. let's see it. how many month do you want to rear them? (melange size fish-3 months, table size fish- 6 months)

9jahotblog:
good, they can take 700-900 fingerlings . i can see 2 ponds there. you can stock them with 750-800 pieces of fingerlings per each pond for easy access to swim.

easyflow:


Can each pond accommodate 400 till maturity (1kg)

Welldone farmers
I am planning on going into carfish rearing at my backyard soon. Tapolin pond tho
Its not my first time in catfish business, but I really must plan this right.
Hopefully it will be well

9jahotblog:
you are welcome. you have to be changing their water often.

9jahotblog:
ok good. get good broodstock and feeds them with imported feeds at early stage of feeding them.

easyflow:


The problem is getting a good fingerlings (shooters) here

abdullkabar:

Thank you sir
Changing water will not be a problem, I have access to borehole water.
I think the fingerlings and feed may be a liitle problem. Let's see how it goes, the year is still young
Thanks once more

9jahotblog:
please get the best one, it's very important. getting good breeds is the best and not the runt type.

9jahotblog:
fingerlings isn't that the problem. it's the feeds you will used to feed them matters alot. how many pieces of fingerlings you want to stock?

abdullkabar:

I am not sure yet, it depends on the tapolin pond I eventually buy.
But I think, 500 in two different places won't be bad
