Itokky:
Please, Is there a subscriber to this topic that resides in the Enugu axis? I just recently started a fish farm and have gone through the motions as described by the post that informed your reply and would very much want to learn more form interactions like this. For a start, what is the age, in weeks, of juveniles and how much is cost per one? what feed is adequate for them and how much to feed at what frequency if one starts with 500?

Price of Juveniles differ depends on location and quality.. there are good imported feeds out there which you can use for about two months before switching to formulated feed.. #150k to max #200k for feeding

What is essence of this useless show.. I have kukuma unplug all d DSTV cable and decoder at home. None of my siblings will be unproductive for 3 months..

Thanks so much for your response...i want to start on a small scale,just one male and female for a start.just for spawning and I would rear them up to post fingerlings or juveniles. Pls I'm safe to do that in Lagos, I mean in terms of getting buyers

Do you already have a spawning vat?

Dear all,

Please i intend to start my fish farming with an existing pond 9ftx9ftx8ft (initially constructed soakaway, but never been used),picture attached for your reference

1. What specie of fish do you recommend i start with and how many fish can i keep in the pond, i've ordered 600 fishes @ N21/fish from my adviser
2. I intend to use a surface pumping machine to drain out dirty water at intervals, how often do i need to do this? can this system work in your opinion
3. I intend to cover the soakaway with net to avoid birds pick up fish from the pond, hope this would not reduce circulation of air and result in loss of oxygen
4. I'm not always available at the house, i have a mutual agreement with someone to take care of the fish while i'm not around, what do you think
5. This is a pilot test to see the feasibility, what will you advice,
6. My budget for the pilot scheme is around N40,000 (fish N12,600, pond cover N15,000 and basic plumbing N11,600) excluding feeding, from all i've read feeding seems to average between N350-450/fish i.e N270k overall
7. What are the do's and don't peculiar to my situation

Kindly advice

Regards

1. You can start with clarias, you can start with 600.. (What size are u buying?)

2. In my opinion i don,t recommend using suck away pond for fish farming, more so using surface pump is kinda hectic, buying fuel every three days to pump out water.. With 8 feet deep sorting will be strenuous. Its a pilot project lets see how management plays out.

3. you are good to go.

4. I have never met anyone who did this and succeeded to be honest with you. .. Is the individual well trained on fish farming? or just a random guy to throw feed to the pond.

5. Ride on

6. Good to go.

7. dont over feed, sorting is important, change water when due, with the depth of the pond you should be very observant.

hope this video is educative enough for you

Very educative.. Thanks for sharing.

Scholar212:
first I no be madam am a dude, it is not blame passing, it was one of her staff that later admitted it indirectly, my dad has two ponds and my sister two, same feeding water and all other conditions. Just 2months and the juvenile my dad stocked from another source is almost the size of my sisters own at 4months.. Thanks for your response, the price you stated is it for retail or wholesale price because they are calculated per kg for wholesale and almost all the different buyers contacted wont go beyond 600/kg ( more like they decided it in a union meeting)

more like they decided it in a union meeting

You see why the Market women will keep taking advantage of the fish farmers.. They are very much United, strong willed and smart. Until fish farmers come together as one we will continually be at the mercy of the Market women.

God bless you sir Robonski, i want to use it as a pond for keeping fish, but instead of pumping water into it directly from bore-hole, i will run-off used water from the other ponds through an open gutter every 2-3days. The issue is that the land is locked on every side with no access to drainage and since the new ponds are big i.e 10*12*5 each, i am looking for a way to drain the water without flooding the land.

You cant flush water all at once considering the size of the ponds, its gonna flood the whole area.. I will advice you do more flow thru i.e water coming in and going out at the same time in a very low rate.. it will avoid releasing large volume of water all at once.. do flow thru daily..

Do you have any Samsung Tablet for sale?

treasurelites:
Happy new year to all the great men and women in the house , especially to those who have stood as a pillar of support on this forum, non more so than robonski, ab1x, excelsior, Ttalk and a lot of others so numerous to mention. May men crown you with glory as the Lord would definitely enrich your life just as you have enrich the pocket of many of us in this hard time. Pls i need to know if any body has used a soakerway-type pond before i.e a pond of about 10ft deep with cemented sides but the floor is uncemented. I am building two new concrete ponds and i am afraid that i might have a problem draining the water. So i need a soakerway to drain water. Pls anybody who has experience on this type of pond can assist. Thanks

Hello sir, are u building the 10ft deep pond for drainage or for keeping the fishes? expantiate more as i need to get a clearer picture. Thanks
