bruseeky:

Thanks a lot. as at last year September, 18ft X 10ft cost 90000 and 10ft X 10ft was 50000.

Oga Bruseeky please hint me on how you treated your tarpouline pond. Got mine today, just like that your big black one. pls am waiting patiently for your response.

excelsiorfarm:
Thank God sir. if U can lay your hands on aquapro, pls get it. it aids growth & aids immune of d fishe

Ok sir, I will do so. But what about the bloated stomach? Is it normal?

excelsiorfarm:
age? scars/bruises/patches? Just Treat with antibiotic & evaluate d following; do you overfeed(you can pollute your water even in a day) , do u let out all the water & allow your fishes rub or their body on bare surface/against themselves without water or is your pond having a cummulation of excessive slime that could trigger infection. it is not only number of days u change water that determines good water mgt

Thnks you Sir! Yes i let out all d water. They are 3wks old. Will avoid dt and see. And I dnt know if i overfeed but am very sure they leave any feed uneaten. But their belly looks bloated fter feedin. Will take corrections asap

hello, please ooo why do my fingerlings have scars on the fins and body which comes and goes. I change water every one to two days.

[quote author=pumppie post=45340198] Hello sir, I think the confusion here is that we don’t seem to know exactly what u stocked. Post fries are different from fingerlings. If what u stocked are post fries, then u can feed in this order; 0.5mm -0.8mm, 0.8mm-1.2mm and finally 1.5mm. Hope this helps?[/quo

Yea, thanks but I will upload the picture for easy identification.

pumppie:
if they are actually fingerlings from when u brought them, buy now u can use 1.8mm skretting (durante) as chilamfarms suggested, but if u can't get that, use coppen 1.5mm. As regards changing feed sizes pls provide d house details such as number of fingerlings stored and also what u intend to harvest e.g table size or melange. Otherwise, u proceede in this order 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 6mm and 8mm. Nb: some feeds don't have 3mm and 8mm e.g skretting (sinking) for this type u can finish with 6mm. I hope this helps. Regards.

Pumppie/chilafarm, am grateful for your prompt response. Ok let me give a quick run down of the farm. I stocked 750 post fries per say though the farmer sold them to me as fingerlings cos they weighed 1.2g and less at the initially time of stocking. I want to raise to table size. Am giving 0.5mm coppens for now.

pumppie:
how old are your seeds sir

They are two weeks old from the day of stocking as fingerlings. Thnks. please i really need a clue on how to change the sizes of feed.

chilanfarms:
after 2weeks move to 1.8mm skretting.

Thanks you Sir. But pls which is skretting? Am really a newbie. kindly help me sir.

hello everyone, pls how do i wash new tarpouline pond? I have fingerlings that are I still feed with 0.5 coppens. pls can someone tell me when to change feeds and to what. Thanks

hi everyone, please i just got a new tarpouline pond. How do i wash it? And the size is 9 by 14 by 4ft, how many fishes can it take to grow out stage?

Hello sir, welcome to d house. About your 700 fingerling, ur tank is too small to raise that amount of catfish. The maximum u can rear to table size on 1200 litres tank is 100. To rear 500 fish to table size, u need a 12*12*4 pond. For new farmers like u I will even advice u put just stock 300 pieces on a 12*12*4 feet pond to avoid loss. Pls try and invest little and and increase ur stock as time goes on. Fish farming is not a child's play cos u need serious cash and experience to be successful in it. Fish farming is another school entirely, so try and start from d cradle(start from kindergarten and primary school) before talking of profit. If u can recover all ur recurrent expenses after selling ur fish, it simply means u will be successful in it on your next batch of stocking. Please try and visit a well established farm and learn from them and make sure u pay the owner so that the seriousness will be there. Just my 2 cents

Thanks a lot dear, i appreciate your advice and encouragement.

Hello everyone, am a newbie in fish farming and i have learnt a lot from this thread. A very big thnks to all the selfless coaches in the house. may God reward you for all that you are doing here. (1) I stocked 700 fingerlings recently and they are doing well. Please how do i know the runts among them? (2) I am using white plastic tank of 1200 litres for now, how many of it can contain the 700 fingerlings to table size stage?

hello everyone, please how can i know the runts among the fingerlings?
