What is the recommended maximum stock for the following size earthen pond, we get natural water from the ground and we also have a borehole to change water every 2 weeks. The pond also have outlet and inlet pipes to maintain constant flow through of water all the time. I am looking to stock 6,000 per cycle starting with 3,000 each in pond 1 and 2 and then finishing them in Pond 3 and 4. Will these pond be big enough? Used to raise from fingerling to 2 months the we transfer to pond 1 and 2... Pond 1 35 feet by 25 feet depth 5 feet - Currently 3,000 Pond 2 13 feet by 27 feet depth 7 feet - Currently 3,000 Used to raise from 2 months to 4.5 months Pond 3 40 feet by 36 feet depth 7 feet - Currently 3,000 Pond 4 45 feet by 35 feet depth 5 feet - Currently 3,000 |

Good morning gentlemen I recently went into catfish farming, and I have been following your write-ups having read from page 1 till219, I must say this blog has been highly educational. I have 1 tarpaulin ponds 15x15 and 4 12x12 ponds which I have just stocked 4000 post fingerlings into. I am currently constructing a mini hatchery based on designs from Robonskis' and fleur and noorjen design. I am hoping to get all the support from fellow farmers in the house. A special thanks to Robonski, Abx1, soft777, Aquatic 1 and a host of guys on this forum...you guys rock. God bless you all PLENTY, PLENTY. soft777: |

Good afternoon House, The male broodstock eventually died on day 6 .. when i observed the stitches, the flesh was so soft that it could not not the thread again.. so there was a big opening on the abdomen though some of the cut had healed but the opening exposed the fish internal organ directly to its environment. i will be more careful in my next procedure. but am happy i at least tried that out.. 2 Likes |

hello guys, I wish to express my delight and thanks to you all for your support. I came here some few weeks back and complained about my fries dying after day 6, and I embraced the advice gotten on this thread. It will delight you all to know that I hatched again and my fries are approaching the third week!! They are very active, strong and above all I can say my result is 90% successful. (from hatching to wek 3). I estimate they are well over 10,000! (Will upload pix later). However, I need more clarifications on my hatchery design. I intend to make more hatching vats, and will like inputs from experts on this matter. I currently have 3 wooden vats of 6ft by 3ft. but I’m considering using plastic tanks i.e (white tank or black GP square tank). Please guys which will you advice? And please give reasons. I have seen a couple of guys on this forum using the white tank and I wonder if it won’t be difficult siphoning due to its depth. I await suggestions. |

hello sir, i am also interested in the report. soft777: |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Teepompey: 6:57pm On Nov 25, 2015 |
My regards to the bosses and members. Pls, what can be done if broodstocks suddenly stop feeding? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 4:51am On Nov 26, 2015 |
omoola007: To know the estimated stocking density of an earthen pond we multiply the feet and dept divided by 3 multiply by two (for earthen ponds) lets use POND 1 as an example 35 feet by 25 feet depth 5 feet. 35x25x5=4375 4375/3=1458 1458 x 2= 2916 on pond 1 you can stock 2916 fishes to maturity.. Use this formular to calculate the rest ponds... Thanks |

superman007: Hello sir we would love to see some pictures of the hatchery.. God bless |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 5:03am On Nov 26, 2015 |
heartbitmi: Good job sir keep it up.. i will advice you use the wooden vats than the plastic tanks.. the wooden vats is easier to manage the fries like siphoning and cleaning.. I also wonder how people manage fries in the white tanks.. Lets see some pictures.. thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 5:07am On Nov 26, 2015 |
Teepompey: Is their water clean enough to encourage feeding, cos some peeps leave the brood water for months and has an adverse effect on the long run.. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by olabakefish: 12:54pm On Nov 26, 2015 |
This is very helpful. But am a bit confused about skipping a day meal before & after the treatment, does that means they will not eat for 3, 2 or 1 whole day(s). Please elaborate more on that. |

I want if it's d instruction you gave him cos if it is, it's not fair to upcoming farmers who can't afford large quantity, please try correct dt please. |
