excelsiorfarm: uche uche , lets evaluate a few things, before daddy & your bro begin to feed with bread, that means that u didn't leave enough feed for d fishes, d fishes will even eat more kitchen waste e.g. Eba, rice e.t.c, but what will give them d optimum growth cannot be inherent in d foodstuff. Before it will be wise to criticise your so called consultant, what was your arrangement & was he/she paid to render your expected services? Uche, d reason why u need to be more attentive to what u do is incase u envisage doing it big in future, abuja is a good place for d biz. Weigh your fishes, if they ain't up to 1kg each in 6 months, sell them. Possible u didn't feed well also

My point exactly!!!

bro i will advice that you sell the fish off, go back to the drawing board by reading through this thread and ask questions. You dad did a mistake by feeding with bread, that means he doesnt have sufficient knowledge of the business, how will u expect good result. How many fish did u stock? what is the size of your pond? Do u sort?

farmland is grassland with little dispersed
trees

So what do you think the father should have done when there were no feeds ? at least the man improvised and the fish are still living. .... I think it is unfair to blame the old , an, I am sure if the gentleman left feeds to feed the fish, the dad won't waste his bread on the fishes but rather use the fish to send his bread into his stomach.

bro before a good doctor can tell u solution, i know there are lots of fishfarmers on this thread(good), first , u have to let all know what u have, pond type & size, so advice can come on what u should stock & size to buy, relevant feed & size, medication(if needed) e.tc, about your loss,u can recoup as long as u can reinvest with d right guidance, which u can also find here from many. That daddy was given out fishes, unfortunately na naija that u find people tight fitted on food(laugh), but i know this is meant to be a biz, hence you need to put your people through & educate them that this one isn't red cross. To encourage u, many of us, had one time or d other lose funds, either because of negligence, giving others to handle our responsibility, sudden change in parameters without tackling it fast e.t.c, how do you explain when your water source suddenly turns oily/polluted with over 1.5m worth of fishes dying because u weren't around to quickly rise to d challenge? Just take heart, pick up your self & move forward. Lets have answer to what u have & many/all of us will be willing to assist . Less i forget, some people prayed for you when they ate your fish, remain blessed

retin01: We decided to test d aerator in a big bowl first because d owner of d farm said he wanted 2c how it work,because he didn't believe it will work so I make use of d bowl and water as u can c. When he saw it he ask me so u mean dis thing is working like dis,he was excited and he saith we should try it in d vert . For safety measure we both concluded dat we should use a bowl dat has many holes in it like rice fitter and use net with smaller hole 2cover d bowl so dat d fish wil not come too close to d aerator. I will do just dat next week

What's the maximum capacity that of pond that can be used with this aerator?

If I may SHOCK U, NO MATA HW MUCH U READ FRM D INTERNET OR BOOKS, IT CN NEVA TAKE D PLACE OF PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE.

Make it OFFICIAL so dt he'll teach U wit his whole @ & PRAY 4 U. And pls, DNT STEAL HIS/HER CLIENTS/CUSTOMERS coz if U do, uuuhhhhhhh!!!)

oscarvicto:

dis one is 4 vat and can aerate vat of about 4feet x 12feed or bigger. what u should kw is dat Aerators are not intended to aerate the entire pond but just a portion of it. D aerated water can sprade to other part of d water ,Fish can also move to the zone of oxygenated water found near the aerator . Enough oxygen is supplied

Pls. I need fish ponds for rent in osun or oyo state. I prefer big earthen ponds mostly.
If otherwise, should be close to river or shallow well so I can use water pump
Kindly contact me with the details and dimensions of the ponds and other facilities available if you have any

bro why the fear? both feeds are very good but personally i prefer Zeigler feed. i will advice you feed with imported feed for the first two to tree month ten u can switch to you locally formulated feed. But u should also have a rich formular. U can check out some formular posted on this thread by ab1x and other gurus.
