For newbies,
If your are doing a concrete pond, please chain it at least once or twice.
A friend's pond fell two weeks ago and he lost about 200 pieces of 8months fish. This is despite effort to save the fish as the attendant heard the noise around 3am and woke . at the end abt 200 were missing.

Don't be scared of failing. You should just ensure you learnt something from that failure. Majority of people that succeed today had failed at one time or the other. Robonski failed woefully when he started but today he is happy. I am presently failing seriously in hatchery with five production & nothing to show for it, however, I am learning at every attempt & I know for sure that I ll share the testimony very soon. Only be encouraged. Failure just shows u didn't do it well at that attempt only. Good luck!

Good day house, I must say that I appreciate everyone in the house your advise and openness has really helped several including my very self. About 6 days ago before getting this thread I had stocked 1,220 fingerlings which I bought from a fish farm but each day since I stocked the juvenile I always see scull & body of dead fishes in the pond infact currently I have lost count of the dead fish. In my curiosity I started bowing and i stumbled on this thread & read about the salt & bitter leaf therapy so i used both for my pond & fish treatment I also did some sorting because I noticed that some where seriously bigger than the rest & since yesterday i have seen some improvement. Thank you so much

dkings101:

This guy just left me a little speechless and I must
admit, a little low in my spirit. He was asking me when I
was going to be a multi millionaire from investment and
affiliation with the entertainment industry? 15years and
I never buy Bentley.

Just I was chewing on his words and advice that it was
time to stop waiting for my time & do whatever to get
mine, I just remembered a name from nowhere. The
name : Francis Odega

That name belongs to a comedian who started his
entertainment sojourn before the birth of Nollywood. In
the late 80's Francis was in a comedy drama series called
"At your service" as directed by a Bodilon Bodio for the
NTA.

Later tried to eat from a radio comedy show with Okey
Bakassy. Then was a pioneer stand up comic for night of
a thousand laughs. The night yet by this time had
refused to give way to day break for his commercial
success.

Then he joined nollywood as the side kick clown for
years. Within this period, the industry that never put
him on the A list took such a nosedive that Mr Odega had
to open a video rental shop at Mafoluku where he
attended to customers himself on many occasions.

All this while, he didn't give up on his craft accompanied
with HARDWORK, PATIENCE, CONSISTENCY and HUMILITY.
Then with one small scene in a super low budget movie in
2015, God said it was time to pay him.

Pay day today is that Francis is the most popular
Nigerian actor in world at the moment. Doubt me, then
show me who else has 50cents and Tinie Tempah reposting
his video's and following him on instagram. Pay day is
fully booked shows in the UK and US. Pay day is
endorsement with a Telcom company about to be
announced. Pay day is money rolling in like mad.
The rule hasn't changed with God. Work hard and wait.
Don't soil your hands out of impatience. "God dey" is
still the most efficient prayer of the poor man. It will
come at the right time like a dream b4 your eyes. Don't
give up.

Hurt over my earlier speechless response, I now have the
perfect response waiting for my taunting pal should he
dare to ask me how long I want to wait. My loud and
clear answer would be GERARAHERE!!! - Emma Ugolee (Aug 19 2015)

Hello,
i stocked fingerlings in a plastic tank and they are almost 3weeks, but some of them are hanging, water mgt is ok. What is the cause and how can i stop the hanging?

I will appreciate your response. Thanks.

barby008:
Thank you. I will do DAT asap

aquadude15:
1. Their yolk sac will be absorbed on the 3rd day then you may feed on the 4th day
2. the force of the Flow through might stress them abit, u may reduce the water coming in to the barest minimum or stop it. They cant exhaust the dissolve oxygen within a week if they are not over populated. I have an aerator but i barely use it
3. If your broodstock are ok you dont need medication at the early stage
4. They just have to be strong enough to withstand the pressure before you siphon them
5. Covering them is to make their environ darker which will trigger their activity, tarpoulin is nt bad and you have to open at night
This is what i practise in my farm so any addition or subtraction is allowed
Finally whats your water ph

barby008:
Alright then! Will put into practice too Thanks,I really appreciate . ...I really don't know d pH,just took d water to a lab today

Tbagwell1:
I like your determination, please don't allow this to pull you down. I was once in that situation not untill now that I can just wake up and hatch without having any problem( with good broodstock) having said that. I will advice u do this, change the source of your broodstock. Check your water PH. Feed after d 3rd day, feeding shld be minimal. @ d edges of ur trough. Please are u related to one mrs Aminat, she works in abuja don't know d surname?

CVWizards:

CVWizards:
Good morning sir, you're doing a great job. May God reward you accordingly. For some time now, I've been trying your line, but it's always switched off. It will be my pleasure to have your active no for a private discussion. Secondly, kindly tell me where to get a small pelletizing machine. Thanks in anticipation of a helpful response.

GOLDLOVER:
Thanks for this info. This emphasizes the importance of producing your own seeds.

miqos02:

Hello everyone, I have been reading up the threads, and I must say... I have learnt a lot within minutes... I would like to start producing my local fish feed, and I need help, of where to get the ingredients in Lagos, and also I would really appreciate a complete guide and Formular for local fish feed... thanks alot

chubbyinc:
Hello peoples, have been following this thread a while now and am so grateful because I started fish farming basically just reading from here. The first trial wasn't too grand but it was a good learning experience for me. Subsequent harvest (3) have helped me financially, even though I still could improve on them. So for this, I thank you all.
Now am in a little pickle,I use coppens to feed from buying @juvenile stage for a month, then multifeed for 2months. I use the local durante till sale. But with the present prices of these feeds,my profit isn't looking good.
Please advice on substitutes for the multifeed.
Thanks.
