There is no how you can get a uniform size.

You never thought of mortality rate. No mgt. Process will make you escape mortality.

Ttalk:
It is possible to make profit.
3 fish of melange make one kg
300naira will feed 3fish that makes up 1kg
Therefore, 100naira will feed 1 fish to attain average of 350gram
For example 3000 melange will consume 300,000 naira for them to attain 1000kg @ average of 350gram per fish
150,000 @ average of 7,500 per bag will give you 20bags of floating feed that is 300kg of feed
150,000 naira for local feed of 600kg total feed equal 900kg
Total weight of 3000melange give 1000kg
1000kg X 600(current price of melange) gross profit 600,000 - 300,000 equal 300,000 net profit
(Note: The fish would attain average miinimum of 100gram each with floating feed)

I have been following this thread since ..Find a good hatcher in ur location and ask him when he can select shooters get like 1500 shooters some sell at 20naira some 30naora depending on the person hatching the amont u spend on feeding shooters to a particular size can't be compared to the same amount u use in feeding normal post juvi...Like let's say u stock a pond with 1500 shooters first I will advice u to buy 2.5mm direct of skretting feeding since the shooters are bigger than Thier normal size 2 bag of skretting will last them for a 2 weeks after that blast them with vitamins mix with vitamins feed and I swear after 3 weeks people will feel ur fishes are two months old after they finish the two bags of skretting make sure u switch to top feed immediately ...What I have notice from experience is that skretting helps in fish growth of u have good fishes..Make sure the hatcher is honest some will use small hetro in hatching that will give u bad result so what matters is that u get a good fish .. for those starters never u buy fingerling even if it is 5naira for 10 fishes don't try it because it will waste ur time and money start with shooters and don't be lazy be there when the hatcher is counting some will give u 500 fishes and tell u it is 1000 ..So count with them ...And those of u asking for the cost estimate fish business u need to eat well before u go into it ..Me I don't really believe in local feed I use top feed for 3-4 no the then I get average size of 2kg when ur shotters get to 2 months they will eat one bag a day so be prepared and one bag of feed is over 6k when they get to 4 months it will increase to 2 bag a day for better growth use earth pond because of spacing u can sort the big one to one pond and leave the smaller one in another because the smaller one are oppressed during feeding ..So the price estimate to train 1500 jumpers for 4 to 5 months is about 500k to 600 when the fish get to 5 months u can switch to local feed to cut down cost ..But me I don't do that when I sold my last pond I had fishes of over 4kg I was really impressed with my result ..So if u are a new farmer please don't be stingy because one thing is this when u starve ur fish you reduce Thier growth and u will be the one to loss

BREAKING NEWS !!!
Military coup has removed Buhari as comander in chief of the armed forces.Tension everywhere as recorded by front page _vanguard newspaper January 29 1984). Just love reading Nigeria old newspaper.

excelsiorfarm:
long i left abuja,but i think Ttalk is in abuja & some of our people here. I will only ask that "IF YOU ARE A FISHFARMER IN ABUJA,PLEASE IDENTIFY." I believe you want a sincere one,hence keep us posted from the response you get

excelsiorfarm:
funny brother, the price of feeds cannot be this high & also you can do a few setup to aid alternatives feeding,like putting light over ponds for insects, kitchen waste,manure(good water mgt & dont overfeed ),maggot,duckweed,build poultry with limited birds over ponds for dual advantage. In all fish price is abit reasonable to make something if no wastages

Nerica:
The explanation given by Ttalk on melange is very interesting,can the same model be adopted for raising melange in earthen pond.If not please explain how. I should go about it for earthen pond to make a good profit.

ican2020:
Hi and sorry if my question signals newbie cause I am one.

On the fish feed formulation.

Will I add some food items to the broiler starter and mix them together?

And if yes, what are those items and steps to follow in mixing them.

Thanks in advance

damilonya:
Okay, tanx! I hope I can get this particular type. Ttalk, where are u?

Busayo1981:
Boss Ttalk, please what are the so many things you r reffering too? pls share on this platform so we can all learn. thank you

bendims:
Thank you Sir for the detailed analyses. God bless you. I've asked around and discovered the highest amount customers are willing to pay for melange is 500 naira. Some even said their supplier sells it to them at 480 naira.

Assuming I sell at 500 naira that will be 500,000 - 300,000 = 200,000.
Then again we've not considered NEPA Bill and cost of fuel and cost of fingerlings. Then, expenses due to unforseen circumstances.
Let's assume NEPA Bill and cost of fuel is 20,000 naira per month = 20,000 × 3 = 60,000
Cost of fingerlings is 10 naira = 10 × 3000 = 30,000.
Let's assume unforseen expenses is 10,000.
Total cost asides from feeding = 100,000.
200,000 - 100,000 = 100,000 naira net profit. But one will still pay tax on this 100,000.
This means that for every 400,000 naira that one invests into melange production, one gets 100,000 naira as returns after three months.
The profit margin is fair.

bilag17:
Thanks for your explanation. I think there are guiding limits of quantity of different feed components / additives to be added to animal feeds, bearing in mind that such animals are later consumed by human being (us). Pls, what is the purpose of adding palm oil to the feed?

bilag17:
I think that 2kg of salt and 2 bottles of palm oil are much for the quantity of feed. What is their effect on the fish?

Busayo1981:
Pls what is fcr

I have two 16ft by 8ft by 3.5ft . I stock 250 fishes of average size of the fish is 150g in one pond and the second pond is has about 426fishes with average size of 70g

yomiknows:
I don't think it's possible to do solely melange farming and make a profit with the current price of feed. Just my point of view, I may be wrong

Busayo1981:
@Ttalk pls how many times should i feed my fishes using local feeds. i currently feed them two times in a day n i experience 2 deaths every time i change water. i change my water every three days. kindly advice.

vroom:
