Get off this thread men.

Hello @ poster, i commend your efforts so far i'll love to add my voice to this thread for the benefit of all especially those interested in fish farming for quick profit.
two most important things required for sucessful fish farming are: stable source of water supply and your total commitment, as modern research as shown wide deviation from what fish farming used to be in the past.
If ure interested in any other aquaculture other than earthy ponds you must be certain to replace your water every other day, water level must be 4ft for easy food conversion. it means that if you have a 10*10 concrete or plastic tank, u'll need about 20000lts of water or more every 2days. If earthy pounds, considerarion must be given to drain pipes, polluttion and water replenishment. nature of soil, pond pollution and diseace outbreak determine whether pond water will be changed or not.
On feeding, technology has also shown that feeding pattern determines output reason why some farmers can bost of 1kg-2kg within 3months, needless to say their food connsumption is directly proportional to their sizes which varies from week to week. Also feeding pattern is very important especially when u change from floating to sinking feeds, if care is not taken you may just be wasting your feeds thinking ure feeding your fishes.
There is no hard and fast rule as to the best time for feeding. personal experience has shown that fish responds to feeding at nights as much as they do during the day, but how many fish farmers can do that except few backyard farmers like me.
Lastly the majority size of your fish at crop determine the price/kg. if 70% of your fish is 0.8kg upwards, ure likely to get btw 400 & 500/kg but if 70% are arround 0.7kg your maket price should be arround 300-400/kg
This is my submisson.
