AgricultureRe: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by solafandy: 10:40pm On Dec 27, 2016
I would be careful to just apply drugs!! have you checked the PH of your water first? it might have changed!! Also are you sure you have not overstocked the pond? Kindly check your water parameters, the feed you are using and make sure you run a very good flowthrough for the fishes to enjoy. I would also salt them to ease them of stress.

I really dont think you have overstocked if you manage your water very well, like if you change every other day and make sure you use more of floating feed. If you are not satisfied with this method, i think your best bet is to sort out another 1000 into another pond and give the fishes more space. Also you could just sell off the slow growing ones and concentrate on the fast growing fishes. I do that sometimes after 3 months and i still have fishes under 500grams.
frshwvfarms:
I want to thank all of yu for your great work discussing issues we are all learning from. I have followed through for long and needed users with experience on a product..Pls help. we are trying to recover growth missed due to overstocking a 20x30x4ft pond with 1800 catfishes. I am realizing it should not be more than 1000. stocks for such space...
So, we are looking for ways to catch up on growth missed. . Has anyone used GNLD Super gro on their catfish. Someone is suggesting it as a "fast grower"..
Thank you
