Hello house, pls I want the gurus to put me through, I am currently undergoing training at a farm that base on fingerlings production. They rear hybrid. I noticed that the male hetro they use is small, I doubt if it is up to 1kg maybe btw 7-8g. I asked my coach and he said it doesn't matter since they are up to 1yr. Since hetro is the breed that grows so well, bigger than clarias how come hetro of 1yr can be looking so small. I also learnt here that the offsprings takes after the male brood stock. I am just observing and thinking becos soon I will be thru and will be on my own. I want the best practices for my farm.

you want us to evaluate your coach/teacher? if our analysis isn't pleasant, it could create ill thought & possible you wont be able to learn well. Just be questioning him/her & learning for now.

@Excelsiorfarm. Okay....but I dont think it will prevent me from learning well. I ask this question becos I also observed that it is that same size that was used in another farm I was privilege to visit. I am just thinking maybe that's the size that is readily available or it could be of the price @ (5000k) or becox that size produces better milt.

[quote author=Onyireen post=54480720][/quote] obvious that even smaller size mature female even at times have much viable eggs than bigger ones because of less body fat etc. The fact remains that if the female used is of same age & size with the male with that weight,automatic that the buyers will face some issues. The wisdom is at least 1kg male,because definitely those males Used are runts/slow growers that struggle to attain the weight you mentioned. Also cost too influence some farmers decision. Spend less idea,especially for males that will have to die etc.eating 5000 naira small fish can cause high bp,hence farmers improvise. Important thing is if there is/are shortfall in the genetic of one parent stock,the other should make up for it.

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by kaze4blues(m): 7:07pm On Mar 14, 2017
I have a challenge presently.

My fish will be three months by March 31st. I presently feed them 3 times daily on Durante floating feeds. But dey re eating very aggressively every day and this is depleting my finances faster than i expected.
Can I change their feeding to two times daily? Will that not affect their growth?
Which other method can I use to reduce costs on feeding considering their age.

Thank you.

Pls I need answers because this is my first experience at fish farming.

What's the weight of your fish? What size of durante are u giving them? U can consider switching to a good formulated feed that will be cheaper to reduce cost.
