omode2: @AbX1 what size of earthen pond do u recommend 30 by 40 is okay. It can occupy between 2000 to 2500 pieces of fish till maturity. Avoid digging big earthen pond because at the point of selling the fish, u will encounter lots of problem such as pumping out of the water from the pond which is time wasting, packing of the fish for scaling is another problem and so on. 1 Like |

TOKUGAWA: they fishes are doing fine now. Thanks.@ Abx1 ,dt Orji guy wnts to rin me down, I didn't eventually sell to him.The formular he wnts to use in buying is absolutely out of this world.I had to chase him away. Let me enlighten u a bit about the way they sell fish. Some buyers categorise it into four parts while other buyers categorise it into five parts. The four parts involves Big, Medium, Small and Smallest and the other five parts involve Big, Medium, Small, smallest and Runt(eja egun). To determine Big, 12 to 13 pieces of fish must make 25KG. (Atimes some buyers accept 14pieces) To determine Medium, 16 to 17 pieces of fish must make 25KG. (Atimes some buyers accept 18pieces) To determine Small, 25 pieces must make 25KG invariably one fish must be 1KG. To determine Smallest, 40 pieces must make 25KG And the runt as many pieces as possible. If you are rearing fish in Ijebu Ode and they are less than 1KG then you are invariably targeting the market women. In most cases, you won't make much money on it. I do advise people to sell at a flat rate but it is only mkt women that are going to buy that and most of them buy it on credit. You need to target people who will travel with the fish to abuja, port harcourt, delta etc and they mostly do sorting. Cheers, 3 Likes |

@Abx1,this fish business sef,here we are used to people who buy at flat rate,yet buy upto a ton and pay cash.I'm just coming across that formula for the first time in the business.what you are trying to say now is that ones fish must attain 1kg plus each to make reasonable profit.Which brings me to the question of how to make ones catfish weigh more than one kilograms each. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by jamp: 5:46pm On Jun 28, 2013 |
robonski15: ROBONSKI please dont give people false hope. how can one raise a fish from juvenile to full with N75. please clearify this so people dont get confused. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 6:28pm On Jun 28, 2013 |
jamp: Please read my post again carefully I didn't say one can raise juvenile with #75.. I said I pegged it down at #150 to raise the juveniles to maturity.. And to raise 500 juveniles u have to multiply by #150 that will give us #75,000 to raise them to maturity... NB. The price for raising them also depends on the type of feed you give to them and the feeding regimes and also the time of harvest so it may be lesser or higher than #75,000.. Thanks |

TOKUGAWA: @Abx1,this fish business sef,here we are used to people who buy at flat rate,yet buy upto a ton and pay cash.I'm just coming across that formula for the first time in the business.what you are trying to say now is that ones fish must attain 1kg plus each to make reasonable profit.Which brings me to the question of how to make ones catfish weigh more than one kilograms each. I love your question. Like my oga at the top adviced earlier, Robonski; you need to know the source of ur fingerlins. You need to make use of coppens at least for 1 and a half month After which you switch over to local feeds(2mm size). Here is the formula that I used in my farm and I can confirm to you authoritatively that I can boast of fish weighing between 2KG to 2.5KG within four months, 1 week. FM (Danish) 72% 40 Toasted Soya 20 GNC 20 Indomie or biscuit 20 Premix 1 Lysine 1 Vit C 200grams DCP 1 Molasis 10 Floxinor 1 Salt 1 Sorry, I don't use maize, cassava flake, koko garri, Wheat offal, rice meal, pKC or what have u. I used the above formula for 3 and half month after which I change to; FM (local) 20 Broiler starter 50 GNC 40 TS 40 Flour 30 Indomie 20 Premix 1 Lysine 1 Vit C 150grams Salt 1 Molasis 10 Floxinor 1 Please note that floxinor is just a kind of antibiotics to prevent them from illness or sicknss so to say. You must also avoid excess salt because it will reduce the weight of fish since salt itself is medicinal in nature. Above all, stop using short cut in rearing fish otherwise u will see short cut at selling point. Use the right formula and see the power of right formula. Just my two cents. 4 Likes |

robonski15: The breath should be 30 The length should be 40 And the depth should reach at least your waist. Please I don't have tape rule which I can use to measure it. Hope that helps ? If it does not, I will find a way to measure it tomorrow. |
