@belexy Is there any available empty pond u can transfer them to.. If there is, wash the pond and transfer them to the pond.. If not u can treat them with aquapro if not available get tetracyclin and chloraphenical with salt.. Am sure they will be fine..

NB the fish could be sick before u bought them unknowingly.. Pls don't have a BP coz of 2k fish.. Cheer up and get back to us..

Sup peeps.... i just stocked 2000 fingerlings 5 days ago and i've had more the 10 mortalities. Dead fish every day..... i'm worried and my Blood Pressure has increased alarmingly. Wat do i do and wats the possible treatment for the fishes?[/quote

Drain the water completely, refill to a level just to cover the fish then apply some quantity of salt. Leave the water at that level for for an hour, then fill up. You may repeat this the following day or next depend on the result. Tetracycline sometimes affect the growth of fish if not carefully apply.

Its applicable 2 all pond types, all one needs do is allow d incoming water into d overhead tank to touch d disc dats all, wat ever way u can ensure dat pls do. In my own case I fabricated a metal holder, holding d disc directly 2 d inlet 4 d water coming 2 d overhead tanks 2 touch d disc dats all. Thank u.

ab1x: Someone texted asking me when I harvest my fish, with the above formula if probably used and you feed twice daily. The max is 4 months 10days;

Last experiment with the formula:

I stocked 2100 pieces of fingerlins
Feed them with coppens for 1 and a half month
Summary of the coppens;
0.8mm coppens 4.5KG,
1.2mm coppens 5KG
1.5mm coppens 5KG
2mm Coppens 7 and a half bag
Since I used earthen pond and a flow through method for that matter and since used water is coming out from other ponds, I had to treat them with oxy and B/vit. Mix it with the 2mm with the aid of vegetable oil to avoid any form of sickness. Prevention they say is better than cure.


After the above foreign feeds then I changed to the formula earlier posted.

They ate 2100KG of local feeds excluding the above floating feeds within 4mths 10 days.

Please note the more the fish meal you applied the faster you get the desire result.

I am not saying there are no shortcuts, but the process is cumbersome and it is time wasting. Why not use the right formula and get the right result and profit.


With the above formula I used 4months 10 days.


Pls I will like to have fone no AB1x

hello house, please am about starting my catfish business. I need advice on what strategy to use. I want to make sales at least 4 times in a year. am thinking of collecting 2k post fingerlings and rearing them in drums(5 big drums) with regular water supply(borehole). is it possible for me to harvest them in less than 3 months for smoked fish(I have a fabricated oven), and please how much will it cost me if 1. i want to use just local feed,2. if I want to use imported+local feed. please house, I really urgently need your advice, as the drums are ready already. thanks

Hello House, Due to the attack on nairaland and data loss, we have been backdated, that means all the data from January 10th to present is gone.
For those who registered on this thread from January10 to present have to register back on nairaland.

Lets pick up the pieces and move on stronger
