Thank you sir.

Fish farmers in the house, does the depth of your borehole affect how the pH is gonna be....... Because my water pH is around 3 and someone adviced me to sink a deeper borehole. Is this entirely true so I don't waste money unnecessarily

Johnnyessence:
you can sink a deeper borehole cos' of the inflow of the water in the pond.

issamiracle:

I still do not understand sir

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.

Good evening house.. I'm a newbie in the house though I ve been into fish farming for sometime now. Funny enough I came across this page just last week and as of today, I ve read through ALL the pages. Vast knowledge! kudus guys.

Please I ve some questions.

1. After spawning a female, how long before she can be used again?

2. Are there special tactics to turn a fully grown table size fish to a broodstock or one should just keep feeding till it ages and you notice an orange dot in the eggs?

3. After a successful Hatch, do you need any antibiotics or vitamins for the fries or you just keep feeding them and observing the regular water management?

4. What is the sequence of feed size fries should be feed prior to age/weeks.

5. When is the appropriate time (weeks) to move them outside the hatchery/vat.

Thank you, awaiting your responses.

Hello everyone and hope we are all keeping safe.
Kudos to the OP for this informative thread.
I will like to ask if anyone knows the current selling price for fresh catfish (Melange and Table size) in their area especially Abuja?
Thanks.

1.The female can be reused at about 3 months
2.yes ,after they have reached table size u change their diet and nutrition to a more protenous diet
3.it is optional some just feed ,siphon and clean the vat while and sort while others add medication to thier feed to boost their growth and immune
4.you start from 0.2 or 0.3 to 0.5 to 0.8 to 1.5
5.The vat and hatchery doubles as your nursery,you will only need to sort affectively according to sizes because they start canibalizing from 3rd day of hatching kn owing that catfish is highly cannibalistic. you need to go for few practical sessions or just watch the procedure fom start to finish. i have some e-books that i can send to u if u drop ur whatsapp
