what is NCO[sup][/sup]
ab1x:



The kind of pond u use will determine the cause of the disease. You need to drain the water in your pond. Try and mix salt with ashes(eru) and NCO. Sprinkle it on their body and all over the pond. Leave them for at least 3 hours before releasing water on them. Also, leave them for atleast 48 hours before you feed them and when u want to feed them at first, feed them little by little. Cheers mate.


The above method is how to treat fish in earthen pond.


However, in concrete or any other pond, u only need to replace ashes with Potassium parmaganate(PG), all other things remain the same ie Salt and NCO.


The above methods can treat any kind of disease involving catfish.



Thanks,

Hope they wont buy it at a bad price?



Location is one of the things to think of before you can determine the kind of fish to supply a pepper soup joint. For example, at IJ where I am, it is between 600 to 800grams but in lag it is between 800grams to 1.2KG depending on the area in lagos. The pepper soup joint owner are the end buyer, the price will invariably rise since they themselves buy from the market women at a high price. So, I expect you to make a very good profit.

jonyse: what is NCO[sup][/sup][sub][/sub]

It is a name for a drug used in treating fish. It is a combination of three drugs; Oxy, tetracycline and one other drugs like that(forgotten). But there is no meaning to the term NCO


You can use oxy if u don't see NCO.

NB:

Catfish farmers and/or intending or aspiring farmers, for the record sake, please do not change feed from one product to another product. It is a very wrong move. It is as if u r giving ur baby NAN 1 and u now change to SMA gold or Peak 123. What do u think will happen to ur baby? If u want to use ziegler, use ziegler. If it is coppens, use coppens. If it is multifeed use it. Do not deviate from one to another. It is wrong and it can lead to a disease outbreak.


The above is a first class information. I have observed it over time.

ab1x: Hello house, something just came to my mind which I think I must share since one of us said he made losses. I'll employ everyone of us to try and get scale even if it is 50KG, it does not cost more than N5500.00.


If you are a fish farmer and u don't have a scale then you have not started yet because you are just working for the fish buyer. I tell you 99.5% of fish buyer uses fake scale. They are so cunny and there is no way u will know that their scale is not correct unless you use your scale.


Just my two cents.
Bro. Abx- how will d fish stay put on scale with all d agresivnes?

Safe journey...the Lord is ur strength

Can you give me the average weight of a catfish from the 1st month of hatching, 2nd (juvenile), 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th,7th months.
This is to determine d quantity of feeds to give them on daily basis by giving them 10% of body weight (or what do you have to say on the quantity of feeds to avoid over nd under feeding nd also maximise profit. Some even say 3-5% of body weight)
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ayoola190: 12:57pm On Aug 19, 2013
robonski16:

It depends on how fast it gets dirty.. Sometimes once in one or two months.. Algae forms when the pond is not shaded from direct sunlight..
What if pond is shaded, can we wash only during stocking without any negative effect on the fishes?

In addition to the above point, try and mix tetracyline, procaine penniciline and vit c to the floating feeds, spread it in the sun for a while after which u feed them with it. Cheers,

Make sure u wash your pond two weeks after stocking otherwise be expecting wide range attack. You can stop washing when u switch over to local feeds but make sure u always put floxinor in their feeds to avoid illness.
