Hey, did you seek the little boy's consent before placing his pics on social media?

cbnobia:
Thank you sir for your response.I truly appreciate. I removed the net at 24hrs post spawning.There were a lot of larvae swimming actively at the bottom of the vat.I also started flow through with the turn down pipe properly set since last night. I hatched with two vats.This morning I started the aerator in one of the vat at medium speed in combination with the flow through.I want to see the effect of the aerator relative to the flow through alone. As at this evening most of the larvae are dead with only a few (~10%) still active in both vats.My water pH is 8.It was 4 initially but I added sodium bicarbonate in the overhead tank to achieve a pH of 8. Is this normal?

Your case is a peculiar case that requires troubleshooting to know the cause of the mortality.

First of all please pay attention to details in hatchery operation. Small negligence could cause vital damage even if you are pro.

Now this 4 reasons could likely be the cause

1. What size are your broodstocks male/female and do you have the idea of their age.

2. Do you still cover your pond after removing the net at this hot temperature. if you do you must have lost the fries to increase temperature

3. I dont recommend buffering to beginners because of inability to control pH fluctuation. If you have pH of above 6 you dont have to buffer it to get result. pH fluctuation is deadlier than average pH.

4. Can you describe the current of your waterflow as well as aeration. Picture or short video could help in this regard.

Good day all.I have read this thread from the beginning and want to use this opportunity to that all those who have given such invaluable resource to newbies like me.I am located in Umuahia and have been in the catfish business for 18months now.It has been a roller coaster ride but I thank God for all the learning experiences. One of the challenges I had was that of poor quality fish seeds(fingerlings).I then decided to learn how to hatch myself and actually did unsuccessfully five times.I applied all the strategies I read up on this thread with minimal success and I am sure I am still getting some things wrong.I spawned yesterday and the fry are still hatching now.Pls when do I start the aerator?At what speed should it run?Is it at the highest,lowest or medium speeds?When do I start flow through?Is it when the yolk has been fully absorbed? I would really appreciate your useful responses.I really want to get beyond day 3 this time.Many thanks in advance.

You need a constant flow through of water at a reduced speed so as not to hurt the larva. Aerator usage depends on your hatchery setup most especially at early stage. Always ensures constant temperature at this stage and maintain a dark hatchery environment. That doesnt mean you should suffocate the hatchlings. Dont stress the larva with too much siphoning, the flow through would compensate for that.

Dont wait for all the egg to hatch before removing the net. 90% hatched egg then you remove the net

Keep me posted on the development.

Again?

Nigerians should suspend this non-interference judgemental pose. You can go ahead and call them political recyclables all you want; they remain a million years better than most of you that all you do is sit behind your keyboards and criticize and complain. This is the time for young Nigerians to join a new movement; it is not the time to judge a new movement by a bad past. Neither is it the time to make predictions of failure. Any movement and every political party in Nigeria will fail and resoundingly so because most young Nigerians full of strength and ideas would rather spill rubbish on social media than get involved in the country's political process.

The minimum Nigeria requires from us is not our PVC. It is not even casting our votes. It is getting involved actively in the political process regardless of whether or not the game is conceived as being dirty. Game dirty? Play it all the same until you have the platform to clean it up.

The fact that we are still limited to political options in individuals like Buhari and Atiku who in saner climes should have been in geriatric homes with adult pampers strapped around them is a clear indication that the youths of this country have failed. Don't get it twisted, the failure is ours and it's not theirs.

Anyone with information on how to join the CN should kindly share it here. Let smart, young Nigerians get involved.

Please anybody in the house with idea of where to buy Fibreglass pond in Nigeria, sizes and costs

Scholar212:
first I no be madam am a dude, it is not blame passing, it was one of her staff that later admitted it indirectly, my dad has two ponds and my sister two, same feeding water and all other conditions. Just 2months and the juvenile my dad stocked from another source is almost the size of my sisters own at 4months.. Thanks for your response, the price you stated is it for retail or wholesale price because they are calculated per kg for wholesale and almost all the different buyers contacted wont go beyond 600/kg ( more like they decided it in a union meeting)

Sir, in as much as I would not argue your assertion, I would suggest you pay attention to the feeding regime. Monitor the farm worker to ascertain there is no sharp practises.
A lot is happening in fish farm business due to human factor, Nigerian factor

Scholar212:
Good morning house, my sister started catfish farming mid last year, the person that she was learning from actually sold the juveniles that she has sorted out and taken the ones that are fast growing for herself( we discovered this later). We didn't know as JJC, long story short after spending about 200k in feeding them for 6months, she has sold almost everything and it is less than 150k at 600naira per kg ( farm bulk buyers). Please I want to know if the 600naira isn't too small or it is standard price( location is Asaba delta state) and how can she identify good juveniles when stocking again

Madam i have to be frank with you. Your sister approach and your statement shows that you wanted to shift blame, and am afraid this would not lead to any improvement unless you change that perception.

Firstly, the notion of blaming seed on poor production is now becoming irritating, because where ever there is loss you see people start complaining about the seed despite the fact that they do not do what is required to attain maximum growth.

Though you didnt shed more light on the operation but i will advice you to rather look on other major factors that determine growth of a catfish
1. Quality and quantity of water
2. Stocking density
3. Dissolved oxygen
4. Temperature
5. Feed/feeding quality
6. Ammonia control
7. Disease control
8. Sorting
9. Feed waste control
10. Seed

Having the best of seed and ignoring other parameters will only lead to disaster, so take time take stock of all mentioned parameters and improve on all of them rather than concentrate only on seed.

Price of table size fish should be around 750 to 800, selling below that means you are shortchanging yourself

Is it not disheartening to enter the new year with a collapse of power when we should be talking about 10,000mw this government promised.
It is high time this government invest in power generation and transmission and stop hyping this big for nothing generator called turbines.

I will too

Francisco01:
Sir I earlier said No feedmill around me

You wiill get where you bought your ingredients

Francisco01:
Thanks for your idea Ttalk

Can you give me examples of toxin binders

It is part of ingredient you get at your feedmill

Francisco01:
hello please I hav a concern and need your assistance,
I pellet local feeds myself since there is no mill around me, the pellet could take the whole day to dry when the sunlight and breeze are favorable , when they are not favorable I have no option than to pack my moist pellet feeds together to dry the follow day, when I take a good look at them I see white substance gradually developing on them and I have limited space in the farm too dry them
Pls renowned fish farming practitioners what do I do?
Robinski, Abx1, Excelsior ETC please

Those fungi growth are dangerous to your fish. Always ensure you spread immediately after production and spread very lightly to allow air penetration even at night spread overnight.
Alternatively, ensure you have enough Toxin Binder in your composition, it fight against fungi growth

Compliment of the season to great minds of this forum whose catfish farming has brought together, you have been wonderful people.

To our clients, customers , business partners that we have been doing business together, we would for ever remain grateful. We hope to improve our relationship and services this coming year.

Where's this address? Abuja or lagos?

Abuja

The distribution companies in Nigeria are nothing but criminals.
They would bring light 3.00 a.m
Tell what would I need electricity for at the midnight
They would snap it by 12noon when everyone has gone to work or School
Even on Sunday the story is the same, they'll bring it when majority has gone to church but take it just before the close of church so that people would not use light
I have called AEDC severally now they no longer pick my calls
Doing business and succeeding in this country is becoming a mirage. Travelling out of this frustrating country is daily appearing as the only option for youth

Please, i also want to acknowledge the person who started this section, those who have contributed also, it was after reading all the comments and reply that i got spured into venturing in this aspect of agro business.

I intend to start with 500 juveniles, learn with that before expanding. I also want to know the feed I should start them with.

And finally, my borehole water pH is ok, i have tested it. But it tends to develop fowl smell when it stays in a tank for couple of days. Is it safe for fish farming?

Thanks for the reply

What is the depth of your borehole. Generally Abuja has very good underground water for human and livestock including fish.
The foul smell could be as a result of direct sun on the storage tank

NCFarms:
Goodevening house, please I just started setting up my catfish farm in abuja. Please i need to get in touch with experienced farmers in abuja, to put me through. We just finished constructiong 4 ponds on a 600sqm plot.

Thanks for your reply.

You are welcome bro, your ponds look so solid.

I am based in Abuja to, which part of Abuja are you. You are free to visit my farm for first hand consultation sir

Alibaba, you can't be more apt

Bamidele539:
boss, what could be the reason for the mortality of a female broadstock after inducing it with hormone....

Stress. That could be as a result of not having enough oxygen or handling during injection

horlami2:
Please i want to purchase juvenile catfish of about 3000 pieces to start fish farming. I might buy more depending on the quality and price of the fish. My location is in Abuja. Anybody who has should pls contact me on 08055183534 ASAP. Thank you.

Quality juvenile available here in Abuja
I will personally take you through step to ensure bumper harvest

none between the two. The elite has structured the process of selecting presidential candidate in a way that the will of the people can never be chosen. Using primary to elect presidential candidate is the worst thing htat would happen in our democratic evolution.

What stops PDP from presenting Shehu Sanni / Pat Utomi as their candidate to slug it out with whoever APC would present.

That's the first part of your story lets hear the second part.
How you raised the 4.5m
What the Master decree from Nigeria business school would give you in Nigeria setting.
You claimed to be entrepreneur but your steps so far hasn't convinced many who is going through worse scenario
