DaiCom: hello sir I went through your post I was encouraged with it sir pls I am about to start my stocking fingerlings now but base on what u said put some fear in me sir. you said something about zeigler feed better than Coppen feed but I wanted to be plating my own feed to maximum profits what is your advice sir and wish to learn more. pls sir here is my email. omodave24@gmail.com . hope to hear fro u soon

bro why the fear? both feeds are very good but personally i prefer Zeigler feed. i will advice you feed with imported feed for the first two to tree month ten u can switch to you locally formulated feed. But u should also have a rich formular. U can check out some formular posted on this thread by ab1x and other gurus.

Belexy: Happy Sunday peeps!

Lets talk abt locally formulated feeds based on ur experience..... Wats d advantage/disadvantage of MAIZE in sinking local feed? If for instance in 100kg of feed, u av 20kg MAIZE.
where are the feed millers experts in the house, ab1x, excel,tokugawa, juve etc.

zicoraads: As in ehn, we have suffered. How about the lady that would come to your house in the evening with a very revealing gown and would stay in your house till 11 p.m, 'na to preach she come for?' Crap!

**clears throat**...I met this damsel in my 200 level back in my days in UniAbuja. A Deltan. She was in also in 2L. We started dating a week after we met and she was the 'husband and wife' type. I was living together with a friend while she was staying alone. And so she always wanted me over rather than the other way round. But I would always insist on going back home even when it was 11 at night. This always resulted in quarrels. She always tot I was going to another girl.

But the truth is I never was. I hate co-habitation with a passion. Have never seen anything good about it. I already hate clingy relationships not to talk more of co-habiting.

When am married I would have the mindset that am married, not now.

P.S. That rship was the best I have ever had!
boss i also schooled at uinabuja, we have d same mind set on this matter o lol.

Fhemmmy: So what do you think the father should have done when there were no feeds ? at least the man improvised and the fish are still living. .... I think it is unfair to blame the old , an, I am sure if the gentleman left feeds to feed the fish, the dad won't waste his bread on the fishes but rather use the fish to send his bread into his stomach.
maybe i didnt understand is post
E said wen dey went 4 peacekeeping in libya e say dem givin der fish bread so [b]e left d food[/b] and tout dat will help me save sum money b4 I return bk
.. i am not blaming the the dad thats why i still asked some questions..

abafetch: Thanks sir... I'm not blaming anybody ait now... I ave lost some cash....d fish are still little.. My dad is even usin dem asin dem charity work.. If u visit e will giv u sum 4 u nd family... E said wen dey went 4 peacekeeping in libya e say dem givin der fish bread so e left d food and tout dat will help me save sum money b4 I return bk.. I kne E was tryin to help I wanna kno ma mistakes so it will not repeat 4 d second..

bro i will advice that you sell the fish off, go back to the drawing board by reading through this thread and ask questions. You dad did a mistake by feeding with bread, that means he doesnt have sufficient knowledge of the business, how will u expect good result. How many fish did u stock? what is the size of your pond? Do u sort?

AgricultureRe: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(op): 10:31pm On Aug 20, 2014
excelsiorfarm: uche uche , lets evaluate a few things, before daddy & your bro begin to feed with bread, that means that u didn't leave enough feed for d fishes, d fishes will even eat more kitchen waste e.g. Eba, rice e.t.c, but what will give them d optimum growth cannot be inherent in d foodstuff. Before it will be wise to criticise your so called consultant, what was your arrangement & was he/she paid to render your expected services? Uche, d reason why u need to be more attentive to what u do is incase u envisage doing it big in future, abuja is a good place for d biz. Weigh your fishes, if they ain't up to 1kg each in 6 months, sell them. Possible u didn't feed well also
My point exactly!!!

NUVEMBARZINTL: Yeaah! Lots of WORK, DEDICATION, INNOVATION, OBSERVATION, LEARNING FRM THOSE DT ARE AHEAD OF U COZ (experience). But d CHALLENGE is, many of us ARE NT READY 2 LEARN. We just wnt to JUMP INTO D MILLIONS. Rmbr, "NO PAIN, NO GAIN" There's a place of SACRIFICE. If I may SHOCK U, NO MATA HW MUCH U READ FRM D INTERNET OR BOOKS, IT CN NEVA TAKE D PLACE OF PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE. So pls ma bro, READ AS MUCH AS U CN READ TO INCREASE UR KNOWLEDGE but TRY 2 OFFICIALLY GET CLOSER TO A FARMER FOR GUIDIANCE (nt U tryin 2 SPY on him/her oooo. Make it OFFICIAL so dt he'll teach U wit his whole @ & PRAY 4 U. And pls, DNT STEAL HIS/HER CLIENTS/CUSTOMERS coz if U do, uuuhhhhhhh!!!)
"May God crown our efforts with huge success"

---NUVEMBARZ FARMS P/H


Well said bro May God crown our efforts.. For those of us who don't have a scale to weigh their fish for sale pls do get one a fish farmer MUST have his own scale. I chatted with two farmers who made losses but after i asked series of question i found out that both of them didnt have a scale, rather they used the scale that the market women brought along with them. These market women cheat with your own scale talk more of using theirs.Out of 300 plus fishes the total kg was "30 something" i still find it out to believe though..

retin01: We decided to test d aerator in a big bowl first because d owner of d farm said he wanted 2c how it work,because he didn't believe it will work so I make use of d bowl and water as u can c. When he saw it he ask me so u mean dis thing is working like dis,he was excited and he saith we should try it in d vert . For safety measure we both concluded dat we should use a bowl dat has many holes in it like rice fitter and use net with smaller hole 2cover d bowl so dat d fish wil not come too close to d aerator. I will do just dat next week
I am impressed sir, i would love to see it working in a pond. keep it up

excelsiorfarm: i have researched on it & it is good. Only wise to share things of value with people. Though if d farmer refuses to feed his/her fishes adequately, NO MAGIC, water mgt is also key. I no dey sell am or even dont know their location(where they produce it)
you are right sir, just the same way i like Ziegler feed wink

ROBBEN: Robonski out of the 4000 fingerlings you stocked did all of them get to 1kg and did you sell at 2 N450
per kg i am assuming that some will not get to 1kg and you migth have to sell at less than N400, Please enlighten me more.
Only About 10% where less than 1kg the rest weighed more than 1kg.. i didn't sell less than the stipulated price for all the fishes.

MickyMozay: Pls oga robonski, what the weight of your fish at maturating after d five months of using ziggler and vital feed.
U said yu stock 1,000 fishes in 10x10 measurement pond, i wanna ask, isn't that too small? when the pond can contain over 3,000fishes
After 5 month i got 900grms to 1.2kg, boss if you stock 3000 fishes in a 10 by 10 pond you will be heading to the greatest loss of all times.you will surely harvest stunted fishes.
