TOKUGAWA: my Ogas @ d top,today makes it precisely 3 weeks that I stocked my juveniles and they are yet to finish 1 n half bag of multifeed. As at now,I am having half bag left. Though they eat well n growing well.Only that m kinda concerned .
First off you did not tell us how many juvenile you stocked, and like u rightly said they eat well and they are growing as expected then there is nothing to be concerned about...

There is no disadvantage whatsoever, as long as the fishes are of good quality and you observe the best management practices..

Hello mr excelsoir, the current price of fingerlings differs from farm to farm buy most sell for #9 and #10.. Post goes for #12 to #15 ..Standard Juveniles goes for #17 to #20 niara... It all depends on the quality of the seed...

excelsiorfarm: Talking of my pumping machine, zinc is at the place of hatchery, it is where I started over 7 years ago, it is residential

bawelat: i want to start this business are you saying #75000 will feed 500 fishes to maturity like hw much should my budjet be if i wamt to start small with 500 fishes i av like 3/4 of a plot i want to use plastic ponds,tanks i am of limited means
You will need at most #75,000 to buy the fingerlings or juvenile and to feed them to maturity.. It all depends on your choice of feeding..

You will need two plastic tanks for sorting.. I don't know how much the plastic tanks cost for now, it should be like #20k to #30k it depends on the size you want..

U should budget at most 150k for a start with other expenses like plumbing etc..

More so is there a ready source of water??
AgricultureRe: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(op): 5:15pm On Jul 09, 2013
excelsiorfarm: no major repair,d pump is used by my tenants,hence they help be a watch when he/she isnt around,any challenge i have known d tenants more than 15Years,for d space,possibly few change of zinc,cant cost 15K,i can instruct my tenants to do d work.even a serious farmer should get his pump & tank for conflict of interest with others
Please I don't know which kind of pump u are talking about and do ur tenents live inside the farm? And the zinc we have to replace is it for the hatchery... Thanks
AgricultureRe: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(op): 3:59pm On Jul 09, 2013
excelsiorfarm: i hav a fish pond to rent at igando lagos-can rear hundred of thousands if fingerlings or at least 1500 fishes to growout.advantage- in a fenced compound,water constant water source,concrete ponds,already with installed water pump,just 60K per annual,also a built space u can do yr hatchery(as big as a room & parlor self contain-rentage 60K per annual
Is there any major repairs to be made on the farm..
AgricultureRe: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(op): 12:07pm On Jul 09, 2013
excelsiorfarm: other necessary assistance can be given,but to supply that quantity of fingerlings isnt economical value because egbeda LGA in ibadan is after former toll gate towards ife,either to drive down to d farm or ask it to be brought to town(i stay in bodija),transport cost would have made it to be deficit(except am charging beyond what is obtainable,which i dont do)
I suggest both of you should agree
On the transport fee.. Its better for her to buy a good fish from a good source..
AgricultureRe: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(op): 10:35am On Jul 09, 2013
excelsiorfarm: op she already sent a text message,i informed we have 70000 fingerlings at egbeda in ibadan & d mobile one at bodija are on growing(some farms do smoke d sizes in pack of 3),if she needs any meaningful assistance in relation to fishfarming,she can call or post here
U can supply her the fingerlings and give her any necessary assistance she needs...

AgricultureRe: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(op): 5:48pm On Jul 08, 2013
@ excelssoir they will definately fade out of business.. As a farmer as long as your fish doesn't do well u will surely loose customers and on the long run fade out of business..
AgricultureRe: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(op): 5:11pm On Jul 08, 2013
excelsiorfarm: (in continuation) to know if it is a runt or not,weight hardly counts,moreso no one will sale u a fish above juvenile stage,except d person cannot afford to feed d fishes,rain doesnt have any negative impact on your fishes,whenever it rains d fishes are excited,though it contains dissolve co2,but an earthen pond has both atmospheric o2 and o2 from d ground being added continually to d water.
Some farms do sell above juvenile.. It all depends on the size of fish your clients needs during a particular period of time... But literally no farm will keep a fish above juvenile except on special order..

Only few farmers tell the exact age of a particular set of fish, hence its pretty hard to identify runts at juvenile stage..

samshoz: My learned farmers, Q1. What can i give to my set of fingerlings that are not aggressive and eating enough? Though i do give Bavit and other premix. Q2. I leak my pond water and top it at night and change d water every 3 days but not all of it, then i refill. Hope my water mgt is ok?
To boost their appetite you can give them multivitamin (livesovet)
It might help them increase their appetite..

How you change your water by top up is good, but I will advice at the third day, you should drain all the water completely because its not all the excess feaces and dissolved food that will be removed from the pond... And if left over for an extended period might cause disease outbreak..

So I will advice on the third day drain off the water completely and put in fresh water..Thanks
