My Oga in the house, pls is it really possible to get fish of 2kg without feeding poultry waste like intestine, unhatched eggs, day old chicks. Those farmers in my area only get good result when use poultry waste in conjunction with local pellet, but bad and sometimes very bad result when use local pellet or Durante local pellet only throughout. pls any idea on how to achieve better result without those poultry waste is appreciated. Thanks.

if u didnt change their water with flow thru method then the fish would have gone thru some level of stress while changing the water completly and they might want want to rest so it advisable to give dem some time before feeding
