So sorry for the loss.. truthfully speaking the ponds am seeing in that picture is not strong enough for its size, its a 6 inch hollow block which is not ideal for that size, i guess there was no pillar constructed.. i have a client friend facing the same challenge, he used 6 inch and all pond collapse at interval.. I pray the pond hold itself together my sister..

I use 5 % for starter and 10 % for finisher .Though my suggestion is to get it your self and cook then mix with GNC to make it dry

It is a very good source of protein. It makes fish grow big.
It makes water dirty/black. When use excessively, It causes crack-head disease.

You started far too big, irrespective of your financial status. Learn to start small and seek professional advice.
Good luck!

This is the funniest quote I've seen so far. I couldn't stop laughing. 196,000 to feed 5000 fishes? LMAO.
The real judgement day is on the harvest day!!
Rearing fish is not by numbers, it's by KG. What you give you get.
196K can't even feed 1000 fishes to table size except you're very experienced with formulating local feeds yourself.
Don't rear what you can't feed. If it's only 300 fishes you can get to 1kg, pls rear that. Don't go and rear 2000 fishes only to meet 300KG on harvest day after so much hard labour

Bro great efforts, however, I am an advocate of young creative people to avoid generic online pictures.
Developers should embrace originality, it maybe difficult at the initial stage because not everyone understand adobe for designing GUIs; but the interesting thing is PowerPoint is an amazing tool staring back at us everyday to be used. At [url]bfitconsults.com[/url], we do amazing things with PowerPoint and all our customers are happy.
Effectively what I am saying is avoid using generic online images. They take away value from your work.

Your design is top notch, I will give it 9/10





Nice design you gat, but Under *You should know section*, Port Harcourt should be written separately and capitalized where necessary.

Likewise under *Contact Section*, Owerri should also be capitalized

I haven't even stocked a ton.....their is no harm in stocking all that you may need per production provided you are aware of the expiration and if locally formulated, ensure to have it right.
First, it saves you from cummulative transport fair and second, prices of feeds are not stable....

Fish4wealth:
These are another batches of my feed for the next stock, 2000pcs fingerlings. The feed below is #180, 000.. first batch....
Without considering mortality yet...it simply means, at exhaustion, each fish would have been fed #90/fish.
The truth is whoever recommended 5000pcs of fingerlings to you and gave you that feeding formular simply did so to sell seedlings. And was scared to give the actual average operational cost.
Such simply act on the fact that 5000 fingerlings at #10 is just #50, 000....

Nuliberry:
Wao! This is really impracticable. Quite unattainable
196k for 5000 fishes for 7months feeding.
Well except may b those ar not catfish.

bilag17:
You may be right. However, did you count the fingerlings to be 5,000? If you counted and that figure is correct, it is not possible for you to use 30kg (5kg bag x 6) of feed for that figure for 3 months. You must have been underfeeding, and there would have been serious cannibalization, hence great reduction in fish quantity at harvest. Don't blame the hatchery where you bought your fingerlings. Remember to share your experiences very soon.

bilag17:
. Your calculation is wrong. You need about 2M to raise 5000 fishes to table size of average harvested weight of 1kg. Check it out at 400/fish. If you're experienced in aquaculture, you can make 300/350 per fish.
