Darlyns1: I have really been enriched by all the learnings from great people here.. the list is inexhaustible, robonski,excelsior,ab1x,tokugawa......
you guys are really doing a great job. I am a new member here and I took the time to read through the pages, I must say, I am really impressed by people's openness and willingness to develop others. May God bless the works of your hands.
I am a starter with very little knowledge and I want to learn practically. I stay in Ijebu-ode.

FarmTech:
..
Won't that be over liming? I thought cement itself is lime. According to a seminar I attended, the teacher said you fertilize the pond with animal or plant manure and leave it for some days. Then flush out the water, put new one and stock. From this, I infer that the purpose was to reduce the liming effect of cement, and probably any other chemical from cement. Fertilization reduces alkalinity.

ab1x:


You are sure welcome on board. Please contact me on the number on my handle. I am in Ijebu Ode too. Cheers

mozek24: Hello guys,

First am happy Chelsea won Swansea City.

Now back to biz: I intend to buy a car for hawking my fresh and smoked fish not more than 50 to 100kg at once. Which kind of car would you recommend? I am thinking of a small car like Rio or Picanto.

What do you think will be ideal.

TOKUGAWA: Bros don't try it o!i once tried it in 2009,it was a total disaster,those Fishwomen would offer you ridiculous prices believing you've run into problems and need to sell off your fishes fast.Its better you go to the market and sit down with the women and sell to consumers directly,or you supply hotels and joints directly.

boomzee: wooooow.... at last....ve been trying 2 com on board, but wasn't successful. first lemme thank d originator of dis blog mr roland aka robonski. not forgeting mr excle..... and all d ogA @ d top. this blog

Juliana7: @ robonski, u ve not aanswered my question on agricnetwork on d topic spawning technique since september 1 in which i asked u a question. My username is ikowa5

boomzee: 4rm been able 2 culture my catfish within 4 month....to successfully spawing .......all within 10 months....big up guyz.......thanks and thanks and thanks alot. remain blessed.

mozek24:

Thanks for the advise.

I actually intend seling directly to restaurants and hotels.
My inquiry is if picanto or rio is strong enough for that inter city runs.

Pls who has used a picanto or rio.

robonski15:

My bro i dont think picanto or rio can do justice in inter city running. u can get a good 1990/1991 toyota corrola, or honda accord of similar year.

mozek24:

1990/1991

Am realy scared of old model cars? You keep spending money and time on repairs and fuel. And your customers seeyou as "OLD SCHOOL"

madgoat:

Seems ur mind is already fixated on picanto. Follow ur mind though.
Left to me i wud go for a gud confirmed naija used toyota camry 94/96 model(camry orobo) for inter city, bumper to bumper, running arnd and marketting. #keep in mind d danfo drivers and bad roads since u are gonna be supply customers.

Ttalk: @ Robonsi15, I stumbled on this tread yesterday and i must say that i am really impressed with the info you and other have offered so far, fish farming has been a business i have interest in but do not possess enough technical know how to pursue and would not want to dabble into what i have little or no knowledge about. I will appreciate your advice to be forward to my e-mail - goldgate2003@yahoo.com

korel9: I stumbled on this thread yesterday and I'm so glad I did. @ robonski15, this is a good job you've done here alongside other contributors. I am a new farmer and decided to sample it with a very small number. This is becos I have no training on it at all.
From my experience so far, I think its sth I would love to go into full time but I have a question in regards to what u said earlier. I make use of rubber tanks as my pond. How do I rear them to a stage where they procreate? Also, does space have anything to do with their growth rate?
I would appreciate a response via this medium or sent to my mail korelconcepts@gmail.com

Thanks in advance and more grease to your elbows.

Belexy:

SPACE is a major determining factor for good growth of ur fish and disease prevention. Wats d size of ur rubber tanks? U can in addition post a pix so we knw exactly how it looks like.
Catfish dont procreate naturally in captivity. Dey need to be artificially spawned.

babaloye: Please does anyone know any store in Nigeria that sell imported fishing equipment? I need fishing tackle with complete accessories, fishing rod,line,spinning reel with hook and bait complete. Thanks.

oluwacege: At least 4-5 tons of matured Catfish are up for sale at very affordable price around Ajebamidele area of Ado-Ekiti. For more inquiries, please call: 08035092556 or 08053230670.

TOKUGAWA: the results has been tremendous,they get an average of 1kg plus.My dad is also using it. Another thing is the popular Egusi we eat,it can be mixed with Bambara, Egusi has 24% protein. Mixed with Bambara .Fish oil can only be added for flavour purposes. My 2 months old fish will be starting 4mm local tororrow. Hence,I will be milling their feed tomorrow as well. I intend to use the following formula. Soya 20kg,,bambara 50kg,,GNC 20kg,,egusi 20kg,indomie 25kg,,Gala 20,local fish 20kg,broiler starter 25kg. 1 ltr of livtovit and a sachet of Aquapro.That's for 180kg.

mercylicious:

We have lots of d sellers here inAnambra. They are large importers of fishing line. What i dont know is if they retail. Most of their customers come from d north n buy things in large quantities.
.
If u can come down to anambra- go to 35 new mkt road, onitsha . there is afribank on the ground flor of the building. ask .

There is one other man at old mkt rd.

wish u luck.

Apitch:
What about good broodstocks in Anambra?

TOKUGAWA: Its the normal Indomie/Gala waste,not usually suitable for human consumptoion.You can get them at Abatoir in Agege or Sabo in Ikorodu.
