aquadude15: I understand perfectly what you are experiencing, first off check your artemia, coz their are too many fake artemia in circulation.. Reduce your water volume a bit, use aqua-pro after one week and also a SMALL quantity of salt. you can also reserve a treated pond, after one week u transfer the fries to the pond. do constant flow through. www.agricnetwork.com 1 Like |

robonski15: God bless u MR ROBONSKI, you seems 2 understand wat I'm facing. I don't you artemia at all, I start wit 0.2 and dats how I have always been using it. I can't get aquapro around my area but someone told me about neo cyril plus, I don't know if that is a better substitute. Lastly, what quantity of salt can I use. My pond sizes are 8 by 10. Thanks |

Hello everyone, I want to sincerely appreciate the Op and everyone else for the wonderful efforts that you'all are contributing to make this thread a place to be. Plenty likes for you guys!! I came across this thread some days ago and i have bn reading thru since. I actually want to go into integrated farming but i have to start somewhere right? so i have been getting some info about fish farming but i need a form of feasibility study/ detail analysis(prices n cost) for stocking 1000 juveniles to table size, using wooden frame tapoline and a proposal format. Can the Pros in the hhouse pls take some time off their busy schedule to help me? Thanks. |

excelsiorfarm:gud observation sir also d pressure of d in komin flowtru water shuld b chek |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Belexy(m): 7:46am On Jan 24, 2015 |
kesiebee: Price of juveniles will range frm N20 - N30 depending on who is selling to you and location. Most times you get it for N25 per one. For feeding: budget N230 per fish till table size. Wooden frame tarpaulin pond of 28ft×8ft×3.5ft will take ur 1000 adult fishes (dats d size i use). You will need a second pond of say 12 ×6×3.5 to sort. With this two ponds, ur fishes will av excess space and will grow really well. Depending on the type of wood you use for ur wooden pond it will cost u between 60K - 100K (for the big sized pond) for a completed ready to stock tarpaulin pond. Before you start consider your water source and drainage. Very important. 1 Like |

pls house how much does a wooden frame tarpolin cost and wher can I buy it,,I stay in abuja.. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Belexy(m): 5:52pm On Jan 24, 2015 |
gechyy2: You cant buy it, it has to be constructed for u on ur farm. Check my post above for range of prices. It depends on type of wood, method of construction, type of tarpaulin etc. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Belexy(m): 5:56pm On Jan 24, 2015 |
talk2yemmie: Budget abt 250K for ur 1000 fishes. You dnt need drugs if ur fingerlings are not sick and if u maintain good water mgt. You can thoroughly wash ur tank and use salt or use Robonski's favourite: Blagdon anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Belexy: Thank you for the above explanation . the source of water is borehole and there is a manageable drainage but how about treatment n fertilization? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by talk2yemmie(f): 9:09pm On Jan 24, 2015 |
@belexy thank u so much am so greatful @Robonski thanks too. Please I still dnt knw the current price of feed and the best one for now. Thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Belexy(m): 9:52pm On Jan 24, 2015 |
bambeezu: Manageable drainage might lead to problems wen u start. You shd really look into it. You dnt need any treatment or fertilization of tarpaulin pond (buy signboard tarpaulin, it doesnt come wt chemicals like some others). Wash d tarpaulin well, fill with water and leave for a few days. Drain dat off and fill wt d water u will stock ur fingerlings. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Belexy(m): 9:59pm On Jan 24, 2015 |
talk2yemmie: There are alot of feed to choose frm and dey are all good. Coppens at d moment seem to av some fake in d market so u might wanna be careful wt dat. You av Ziegler, multifeed, vital, Aqua, Biomar, Top feed etc. One of d cheapest is Vital and Top feed but i wud rather go for Vital feed coz d crude protein is higher. Vital cost between N4200 - N4300 per 15kg bag now. Multifeed is abt N4600 (i also like multifeed) Top feed abt N3800 Aqua abt N5000 Coppens between N5200 - N5400 |

Belexy:Boss, I really hail you. Kudos for the good job you're doing here. Pls, I would love you to tell/give the minimum profit a farmer could make using this budget you dropped? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 3:18am On Jan 25, 2015 |
talk2yemmie:It will be better you go to the feed store in your area to know the current prices as prices differ from locality. To the best of my knowledge there are no best feed( s) some may say coppens is the best, but u may still use coppens and make a loss and someone else might use vital and achieve results. what we should be concerned abiut with is the overall management. There are good feed out there ranging from multi feed, aqua, ranaan,coppens Ziegler etc. Replied your post on agricnetwork www.agricnetwork.com 1 Like |

Teepompey: The minimum profit could be ZERO profit. Its important you should knw dat fish farming is not an automatic instant money spinning business. Its possible for someone to dive in and come out wt fingers seriously burnt. Tread carefully, expand gradually, understand the market in ur area, minimise cost, and overall learn frm other fish farmers. Develope a passion for fish farming and dnt focus on d 'expected millions' and u wont fail. 1 Like |
