My Oga, well said. I wanted to expand oo but couldn't get a fish farm to rent. Buying land and construction is quite expensive and I can't afford that for now. Am operating at full capacity at my present location hence need to expand. I even have reservation on birds........plenty vaccines and medications,marketing etc. The medications you give birds can cure HIV

I would have prefered fish anyway
My bro please and please seek the assistance of a good consultant that is into poultry practically to avoid stories that touch.. in poultry farming you have to be up and doing and be attentive to details. There is a medication chart to administer to d birds from day one to sales get it and follow it religiously.

so far in this forum, i have learnt the dept of a standard pond shld be btw 4 to 6 feet, bt 2day, i saw a pond of dept of 8feet. The lenght shld be abt 15ft. Do you think this shld.have adverse effect on the fish? The owner changes the water 3 times in 3 months and he is making good profit on the fish.
That means he changes water once in every month which to me is unethical.. The size of the pond have no adverse effect on the fish and talking about profit No fish farmer will tell you he is making a loss except u are really into the business with him then he opens up..don't get me wrong he may be making huge profit.

Great write up.could you shed more light on the area of marketing , especialy to buyers such as restaurants, hotels etc instead of the ever prowling'iya elejas.
Locate the hotels, restaurants telling them you got fish for sale, some don't pay cash some on installments. The fishes should be big to attract the buyers.

[size=15pt]

IS THIS ESTIMATE CORRECT ON RAISING 2000 FISHES, ASSUMING YOU BUY WATER. COST OF LABOUR NOT INCLUDED YET.

fingeeline =2000* 30=60,0000

Fedding =500,000

Water =60,000

TOTAL =620000(cOST OF LABOUR FOR 4 MONTHS NOT INCLUDED.)



SALES

450*2000 =900000

900000-620,000 =280000 profit in 4months
[/size]
My bro, if you add Labor and also pay yourself there will be nothing left.. #60,000 for 2000 fingerlings is on the high side and more so how did you derive the amount of water to be used for 4 months, i guess you will be using concrete pond.

900,000 profit means that from fingerlings to 4 months all the fishes must attain at least 1kg which i don't think is feasible.

Great buy it seems but not really.....
7500kg fish per month means roughly 1.5m Naira a month profit
ROI Should be 20 year consider maintenance. ... on a second though 20 years return is too much for a goos investment. .... if 8 years, might be considerable.
See as novice dey calculation catfish investment. I hail u boss grin

Thanks belexy and toks.

he is thinking of digging a hole like septic tank in the compound and discharging the waste water into it. Has anyone tried this before?
I have been to a farm were they dug a deep well and channeled the discharged waste water into. It should be very deep to accommodate the waste water, overall it also depends on the terrain.

Happy new year to all. Here is a picture i took in 2009 when i began my journey as a fish farmer. I had three wooden vat which was constructed by our very own Micky fish, and surprisingly the vats are still being used today but converted to a spawning vat.

For those of us that just ventured into fish farming always remember that from small beginnings come great thing. Risk more than what people think is safe and dream more than others think is practical.

cheers

@ Fhemmmy i think the standard is usually 10 by 10 feet which should be able to raise 1000 to table size, however, i am not too stuck up on calculation and sizes, but by now every serious non greedy farmer should have the awareness of the fact that overstocking is not ideal, i for one i just make sure a pond is not over stock as this can inhibit their growth and freedom.

As you can see from mine its not the usual 10 by 10 but i am aware of what the standard is and able to use that as a yardstick to make sure the fishes have got enough room to swim around, play and grow.
I think it is also worth noting that although we say 10 by 10 should be stock with at least 1000 but by the time you start sorting them into sizes you may end up with less than the 1000 in a pond due to moving some into a separate pond as a result of their new sizes, that's why it is advisable to have spare capacity to cater for things like
sorting
pond leakages and repairs
disease outbreak and quarantine etc
By the grace of God i have capacity for more ponds to be constructed but i need to test the market and make sure expansion is being driven by demand.
woooooow this is to show u have learnt a whole lot.. Bro u you are on course..
