my fishes r dying with mouth wide open...what can i do?
i have treated swollen stomach,hanging and peeling skin with furaltadol,fish cure,fish bacteria and changed water alot.
some are still hanging and opening their mouth with swollen stomach
please i need assistance 08066431077
let me b blunt with u,your water mgt is inadequate that was why this issue arose in the first place.They are hanging because they are disgress & sick.D peeling also as same as pollution effect.sorry 2 say that those really sick might die,though i pray that it doesn't occur.That they open their mouth is a common death posture for fishes either due 2 sickness,poor oxygen etc.Solution-if feeding,stop for at least 2days,keep them in clean oxygenated water(do flow through or dripping),h20 height shouldnt be too high.Stop drugs,since you said their skin is peeling.If u lay your hand on aquapro,apply little,if not,no wahala.4 those that peel,i observe that they can grow new skin in clean h20 with time

from personal research,though the skin could be replace,but it is quite a wait depending on the severity of the skin damage. Since it isn't research,but business,you have to move on by finding how to utilize the fish as feed or food.

All the best

no wahala,they will feed on it.it is important to note that any earthworm that is leftover after your fishes had fed will produce poisonous gas into your pond that could be detrimental to your fishes. Next time,dont do last meeting planning or evaluate earlier. Even the period if you dont feed,they wont die,at worst five on 5-8 other weak or big fishes. Other alternative is kitchen leftover,though monitor your water mgt well because hungry or weak fishes are predispose to diseases.

LETS GIVE ALL GLORY TO GOD. I commend everyone on the thread. I only make a pointer to where or who you can meet,but not necessary an endorsement from me(I have my reasons). If Ogbomoso,which is my town, visit apake,there is someone that sells feed,maybe discuss with them. All what local feed entails is getting your formula,mixing it evenly,using the right machine(someone here posted a good 3 in 1 machine for that purpose & i think a couple of other machine),a bit of wetting,drying(if you dont dry well,your fishes are already in trouble) etc., there are local feed makers on this thread that you can pay a visit or discuss with.

Great. What does it do that china product wont/cant do? Can the system store energy during the day & make it available at least for some hours at night? Because oxygen is mostly needed due to low temperature at night,though day aerator would had given the fishes healthy environment all through the day.
@excelsiorm it qorks only ar night. Cant storw energy. Mono crystalline solar panel.

i stopped using whatsapp maybe about 2 years back because when i wake up always i observe over 500 messages & it seems my data was also running out,i asked myself where will i start from with this number of messages & in the course of things i forgo some messages,but unfortunately some very important messages too were neglected. In other to avoid undue complains i decided to opt out finally. My phone is written below & my mail remains solomonalamu@gmail.com.


We all can mentor you by God's Grace.

depends on the integrity of quality of material.Good one can be in use for up to 5years,it now depend on mgt-washing(what is use in washing),under shade or not etc., some had advertise on this thread. Reliability?I believe they wont ridicule themselves over small things,but i know kingdom aquarium deals with imported ones(though support over economy),4 your 2000 it was about 180k(imported).Their number should be somewhere within the thread(sorry i dont have any of d number(s))Suitable dimension could b 20*13/14*4 i.e 20 by 13/14 by 4(all in feet). Not necessary this, you could decide to do re- adjust the width/length

Good Morning House,
A big thank you to the proffessionals in the house for the wealth of info on this thread.
I have been keeping this fishes for like 3.5 months now, I would like to know if I am doing fine or not from the gurus

+ Stocked 2000 fingerlings using 2 tarpauline ponds
+ Current headcount is like 1350
+ Like 900 of them currently weigh btw 500g - 0.8kg
+ The fishes in the dark tarpauline did better than the white tarpauline
+ Have like 300 that don't seem to be growing at all

My Questions
+ What can i do to the small fishes to make them grow
+ My fishes don"t seem to be long enough, is there something I can do?
+ Some Customers prefered the 2.5kg/fish (point and kill customers), How do a farmer acheive this? or is it the hybrid catfishes.

See some pix

why the urgency? you could ask if there is high volume capacity,like 750 or 1000 & buy 3 or 2.For smoke klin, visit nafdac at oshodi & there is FG establishment also at oshodi or mushin axis that sells one(capacity?i cant say,though price could be a bit high). Dont be too much in a hurry so you wont enter into wrong hands
