JuveFarms: Its not about making mistakes and running. Its about not making costly mistakes that can ruin a person's life totally. We need to take risks in business but those risks should be calculated risks. If a man puts in all his life savings into fish farming and he loses it all bcoz of his lack of experience or maybe the person he got to manage the farm for him doesnt put in his best then u knw how d story will end. Why i always say people should start small is bcoz it gives them a feel of the business. It will help them decide if dey wanna continue in it and expand or not. It will help them to tackle problems that will arise before it becomes full blown. There are too many fairy tales abt profit making in fish farming on d internet. Let dem face reality on a small scale and see if dey can cope wt it or not. I still say it, fish farming is not 'money spinning' . It takes alot of hard work, dedication, perseverance and patience before it becomes money spinning. And as u rightly said, it needs to be done properly. A lot of people will come to this thread and read it frm page 1 to the end and then they want to stock 5000 fishes as a newbie bcoz they can make 2.5million naira from it. They are just concerned abt the 2.5M... All dey can see when they see their fishes is money swimming in d water. At the end of the day, they will most likely lose alot of money and dey wont av money to even start afresh on a smaller scale. Its always better to start small and then expand. Even if d person will employ a consultant, its still good to be knowledgeable about your business especially when investing ur savings on a business dats new to u. #this is just my opinion. We are all bound to differ in our views. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

In ikd...1kg goes for 480naira d least a farmer can go....my dad uses aqua feed from 2months(it gives them big shape or makes them fat) then 3days to harvest, he uses ziegler.(damn that feed normally works wonder as it gives d fish mad weight strong and sturborn) the buyers are always asking my dad's manager that " Isaac shey u dy give DX ur fish ogogoro" another thing that works for DX biz is that buyers loves long fish with big heads. Then another thing I noticed is that u make ur complete money if ur fish weigh 1-2kg....the 2kg(big fish) buyers normally clear ur pond. I think d biz is interesting Buh u must be ready to make sacrifices Buh physically and materially....and op I must say for d past 4years my dad has been in dx biz we av not come across any juju buy Buh we av seen many dubious ones. Is either dy claim ur weight is not good or wheen dy find out u are not paying attention to them they steal fish. My own advise is if u know u are a young guy and u can't go thrru d financial stress of monitoring fish to 6 months d best thing u should do is learn how to hatch and sell fingerlings...I swear there is money there. And I also agree with d op. The best way to make ur money is by hatching urself ooo. In fact u will only run into lost if u are careless with ur handling of d fish. There ntn as good as hatching ur fish urself 6 Likes |

atoleybaba: God bless you my brother. Hatching is key (from what I learn here). For some of us that are used to monthly salary, it will be like hell to wait for 5-6 months before getting returns. When you master hatching, money will also flow from training others. I am Currently undergoing training on hatching and guess what...'I am paying through my nose' ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

Johnnyessence: i have seen your responses on chicken liver to someone on this thread. thank you. how long do i feed them with? mix it with their normal feed? but i just thought of the prons and cons of feeding them with the liver cos i dont stay around my pond and dont feed them so getting it often and preservation will be difficult to do. i need other feed type that helps their weight. thank you. |

Hi evryone! Wana ask an important question. My storage tank was left unused 4 like a month after I harvested. I wanted using It again 4 my new production after filling the tank to capacity with water although 2/3 of the tank capacity was occupy with water for that 1month. Filling my pond with d water, I noticed that d water was green. Those it means that enough of oxygen was present or somthing else? I'm kinda confused. D source of the water i§ a borehole nd d said tank i§ alwaiz left open.. Tnx in advance for responses from my fellow farmers.!! |
