Oga robonski pls what effect do foams have on a pond I notice it becoming much now pls all the ogas should help. Thanks for your prompt response |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 10:25pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
walexy001:Oga robonski oya to walexy001, rescue. #smiles. I would like to know what kind of pond. Let's make our questions more explanatory. Meanwhile such foams & bubbles are more in the morning. From my understanding its due to over night activities of the fishes, they use up more dissolved oxygen @ night. If left unattended to might stress the fishes there making them prone to avoidable crisis. Tnx 1 Like |

olubankemi: @kemi, Each time I see your posts, I feel so so excited. How are your fish doing? Is this your second breeding? Can you rank/rate your feeds used so far? For me, I've used durante, multi and aqua. Durante is better than aqua which is better than multi. In my nex breeding, i will stick to aqua cos its cheap and good compared to others. Durante here is 5600 for 15kg, multi 5000, the aqua I bought is 4600. I don't know if the aqua is that cheap cos of where it was bought. My neighbour and colleague helped me buy it at ihiala. My fish eat the aqua as they eat durante. My fish will be 4months by month end. I may sell when they finish this bag of feed or may add extra 1month for them. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 11:03am On Jun 25, 2015 |
@Kemi, I will try and see you when next I visit Lag. I don't know when for now, it might be next year though. ![]() |

enwansnr: They are still tender to be given multivitamins, it might also be the type of breed/specie.. They will catch up. |

Wow wow wow....came across this page around 6pm todau. I got glued and I'm currently at page 16....bt d 167pages I'm seeing looks herculean to finish in one nite oo...I must confess d thread is an eye opener tho. Anyway, I'm a graduate currently managing a vrry small unrelated job. I'm not complaining, cos I knw some persons dnt have where to call their work place. However I really want to START Ssomething, no matter how small, and I made up my mind to dust my catfish lectures n nysc cert to see what I can get from this. So pls for someone with roughly 100k savings, a pumping machine, and a room I'm ready to share with a fish vat, hw can I start, where do I start from? in hindsight: I started my romance with cfish rearing as far back 2004, attended up to 4 seminars with practical hatching sessions in about 2, got a cert. for this also during my nysc. Thia thread will make it 5 Seminars now. lol As for passion.....forget me o....I can just spend hours watching fishes swim gracefully. Mayb its not passion bt obsession. Whichever. Pls anyone with a relevant comment for me should mention me. Thks op and other credible contributors. As part of a young mans hustle, click my signature link, like my fb page, thwn let's diacuss how to get you a sharp suit at an affordable price. Thanks. 2 Likes |

mercylicious: oh yes, thank you very much. you guys give me much inspiration. my fishes are doing well. this is my first. i have not used Durante and Aqua before but i have used Multi feed. i have used Zeigler, multi feed, vital and top feed. Zeighler really gave them a faster growth rate before the guy who feeds my fish start giving them different feeds i never bought or asked for. multi feed? i cant really say much about it as i dont see any significant change. Vital and Top feed gave me immense result. my fish size doubled in two/three weeks i used top feed. maybe this result was also because i changed my fish feeder to someone else who feed them regularly and in the right quantity. top feed is sold for 4000 here in lag while vital is 4300. i experienced minimal mortality. my fishes will be five months in two days. will sell them off soon. some are more than 1kg and some below that. i will appreciate if you visit ooo. thank you dear. |

My fish scared me this morning. On going to feed them I saw a fish had jump out from the pond and travelled a long distance. On sighting th fish, I tot it was dead. I brought a basin and it started moving, it resisted entering the basin. Somehow, I picked it, put it in d pond and changed the pond water. I was so so scared. My neighbour said am lucky it did not enter d drainage, that from the drainage, it will find its way to river Niger. 4months fish that I plan to sell anytime soon. I was wondering if others have been jumping out b4 now and being eaten by rats, cats and bush babies. 1 Like |

Good pm too you all. Sorry I didn't come back too give the house feedback about the problem I experienced sometime ago. I have been a bit busy. Two things I have learnt over the years in hatching is that their is no pro and farm practise differs as a result of your ph, hardness, turbidity, etc, so what works in farm A might not work in farm B. I so much appreciate those that replied my post cos I was able 2 apply it in my hatchery even if that wasn no rily the problem. Thank God I'm back fully and hatching has commenced on a large scale now. I will be coming back to give the house how he problem started, how I was able 2 overcome and other useful tip that might b helpful to those that still experience mortality in the second week after hatching. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is allowed.
