You can use so many binding agents such as aqua ll, tapiocca, cassava starch/flour, corn flour molasis and other starchy stuff but gelatinity depends on preparation.
Baker's yeast can be use as floating agent. The problem is in cost/quantity implication.
Contact goldgate2003@yahoo.com for advice on floating feed
plz the bakers yeast u made mention is it the one used in baking doughnuts or puff ?pls don't mind my inquisitiveness I want to learn ur urgent
answer would be highly appreciated

abbeydeeone:


there are two ways to it. I also have this type of pH meter.
1. You need a buffer tablet 4 or 7. Grind one tablet and make up to 100ml of water. you can use either of the tablet for one point calibration or use both for 2 point calibration. insert the pH meter into the solution and adjust the back screw with d supplied small screw driver until you have the reading of the solution on test on d display. The buffer solution could be kept for months for future calibration.
2. Par a venture u don't have access to the buffer tablet. get an Eva bottle water to be used as your buffer 7. do same as above in 1 until the display reads 7.
But method 1 is more reliable and accurate as Eva water has a PH range and not a fixed value like 7.
I hope this information helps you
Thanks so much.

Firstly i stock 250 pieces of post fingerlings in a concrete pond That was very deep to the soil so i encounter the problem of draining out water so i have to drain out water manually i. e wit bucket the method was so tiring and boring so i harvested the fishes @3mths although i fed wit foreign feed tru out my capital came out bt no single interest. I decided to filled up the pond in order to have good drainage so i succeeded in achieving that. I later stocked 700 pieces and i have to face lots of mortality i was been adviced to add vit. C to there feed and to also drain out their water and add flagyl and salt so i repeated it for 3days. The rate of mortality decreases and i was left with 400 pieces so icontinued Feeding for 2mths plus and realized they were not growing. A feed seller wanted to sell His product and adviced me to buy the super gro he introduced to me and also gave me the dosage immediately after applying the liquid i saw my fishes lying upside down so i immediately open the outlet and jumped into the pond to save them out bt iwas only able to save about 134 the rest were dead i keep on Feeding them bt they were not growing for Over four mths then i decided to sell them at a lost. So many mths passed by, i didnt have any interest in the Business so i quit for a while. Towards the end of my service (nysc ) a man came to lecture us abt self empowerment and treated fish rearing with us, so picked up interest again and decideded to buy the fingerlings from him but to cut the long story short there was jst a very little profit on that despite all my effort. But there was some thing i realised as they a very rapid growth while growing bt at three month plus the growth reduced they were not really adding more weights so i decided to sell off at four mths thinking they have attained there maximum carrying capacity. Since after then i lost interest in it. Until i came across this thread bt now i want to try hatching on my own may be i might be successful this time around. PLS ANY BODY CAN COMMENT ON THIS AND POINT OUT MY MISTAKES. THANX
