so Far so good fishes has been doing good inspite os the draught of rain for over 2 weeks but God has been faithful. Just taking a eye sample my fishes are weighing on the average of 0.7kg per fish I intend to sell at the end of the month when they are four months Old by then a whole chunk of them would be weighing 1Kg and the current price the farm beside me sold in Abuja here was N650 for 1k -1.3kg and N560 for melange I would soon update the current size of my fishes just watch out. It has been God all the way inspite of several challenges thank to @ttalk He was Godsent

My dey sir..
Just stumbled on ur post and have to stay all night to read all including comments.. Some were very funny and some useful.. I had saved whole lot of number..

Currently running rented earthen pond with 4k fingerlings.. (doing well in their 3rd week) advance stage of setting up my hatchering at home so I can only stock a juvenile which may b too costly to purchase..

My problem is I need a location I can buy.. Pls can u send me a mail so I can have discussion with u on that..?

2ndly I just got an lpo for extruder that pellet floating Foo for less than 3m for 4tonne per hour.. Though much for me.. I have requested for lpo for that of 1ton or 1/tone if available.. But will only try raise d fund if I get permanement location.. So I can't move in my hatchery, the extruder and get my ponds..

Recently graduated and wished to take it as full time job.. Will b pleased to hear from u sir

After digging the pond and bagged all the edges I bought the following

Nets- 6000 I used 2 which is 12,000: this net is used to protect the fish from predators such as frog, Snakes, birds......
Four 6 inches PVC pipes one cost 3,500 I bought 4 which is 15,000: This is the exit way for the water to come out of the pond through a flow through system.
2X2 wood cut into 1ft size to be used as pegs to hold the net.
Industrail salt 1,500 naira: This is used to lime the ponds to kill bacteria, reduce PH, drive away predators and also bring out nutrients from the soil. The Salt was used for the process called liming .


please what measurment was the net you bought for 6000? and the mesh size

Follow all he posted at ur own peril....how can one stock 18,000 fishes in that small pond and expect a good outcome.

N.B: the reason why the guy no come back to update is simple......E DON FAIL after harvest.......

In my 10yrs of fish farming.....they won't listen to you until harvest day....they will now start crying

Guy dn learn hard way.....e dn chop gbese grin grin grin grin grin
Re: How I Started My Earthen Pond Fish Farming In Abuja by solarized: 12:23pm On Feb 08
it's an old thread but it will seem you are more interested in his failure from the way you commented (without even reading what he said correctly).
FYI, he stocked 4,625 per pond. He has each pond at 40 x 40 x 4ft or (12 x 12 x 1.2m) which gives about 172,800L of water per pond. Meaning, each fish has about 37.4L. How is this over-stocking?
