robonski15:Na me hail pass oo Big bros. Hatching no be childs play and this fries mortality have chase so many people away from hatching. I mentored 2 peeps but the funniest thing is that they hatched twice and ran away from it. Thanks BOSS, I appreciate your comment. I will be posting some tips that I feel might b useful that I practise and it works well for me |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aquadude15: 8:34pm On Jun 29, 2015 |
robonski15:Bros I treat my vats, pond and equipment after all successful and unsuccessful hatching then but it didn't stop the mortality ooo. Infact na tanker dey come offload formalin for my farm cos na excess I get am *smile*. I haven't heard about the artemia but whenever you get it you can give the house update about it sir |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aquadude15: 8:39pm On Jun 29, 2015 |
retin01: I appreciate bros I will be dropping the tips here but one thing I want you to know sir is our farm practise must surely differ as a result of our environment, weather, ph, turbidity, etc. You can just pick the one that might be useful for you and tune it to suit ur practice |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aquadude15: 9:32pm On Jun 29, 2015 |
Abeg make una no vex say I dey delay my posts, it not intentional ooo. Work 2 much, jst trying to feel my farm back with fries cos gbese (debt) plenty The tips are based on my own observation and different experiment. I'm sure it will go a long way for those that adopt it. I'm not a good writer, so I might not be able to compose it well, wetin mata pass na make una pick the point wey go they useful. If you don't understand any of the tips or wanna ask about anything pertaining to hatching you can post it here make the elders of this forum contribute join Make una grab biro and paper dey write am down*smile* * if you are a christian, muslim, babalawo, etc put GOD first in anything you do. This one is very crucial * you must have the zeal to dab into hatching because its not that easily and when things are not going the right way you will lose a lot of money (d amount of mony I lose dat period fit train pikin from creche to ss2) but persistence and consistence matters as far as you know what you are looking for * whenever you want to hatch don't rush, take your time to plan everything and make sure all you wanna use is in order before spawning Dis d way I do mine * i will prepare one vat for spawning and another vat to transfer the hatclings the next day when they drop * before I hatch I make sure my water ph is 7.0 and I allow the water to rest 4 extra 2day so it will settle (even though its turbid) then I will use foam to clean all dirt under the water that's before introducing the hatchlings to the vat * I clean my water because I noticed that if my vat is slippery, it results to mortality. Can't prtove the cause behind that sha * make sure your vat has no pot hole cos I notice fish gather their when they are weak and die massively their * maintain a low water during the first 2 weeks * on the second and third day I remove bad eggs that I might have mistakenly transfered into the vat before feeding them * make sure you cover you vat cos they are photophobic in nature and run away from light during that period. If you open you vat down they might just lay flat at the bottom of the pond which might make feeding hard * on the fourth day I start feeding them, na here palava dey start. What I studied about this hatchling is that thgey don't need drugs during that period if your practise is OK. the 10 days of this hatchling before they start dying, they need a HIGHLY NATURAL PROTENOUS feed and when you give them you will notice a change in their colour to dark black and a slight increment in size. What I do this period is that I over feed them cautiously and avoid wastage. I feed dem at intervals and I start siphoning on the 5th day * I prefer using dafinna but if I can't get it I use artemia *siphoning start on the 5th day I do it every day with the smallest size of hose I could get from the market to reduce the pulling pressure. Though it takes time but I worth it cos the pressure won't b able to siphon much hatchlings out off ur vat. * during this period the hatchlings are visibly weak and I guess it start from the 8-9th day or so, so make sure u don't stress dem AT ALL. During this period I off or reduce my aerator, I don't do flow throw or anything that can stress the hatchlings * I make sure I clean the vat again o the 7th and 10th day again *i don't do flowthrough during dis period, all I do is release my tap abit and water comes out as a drop all day long * only those hatchligs that didn't develop during this period ar the ones that will die but the black one go strong kakara pass THE ROCK * after 14 days I transfer them to my pond and dats all So tips may have skipped my mind but I will update as soon as I remember. Any addition, subtraction or question is allowed. Safe 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aquadude15: 9:13am On Jul 01, 2015 |
AdeoyeAdekunle:This the way I use mine bros. I use the cap of my keg to measure it, like abt 10-15 cap into 5 litres of water. But it depends because some dubious people dilute their formalin to maximize profit. Just make sure the smell oozing from the water is conc enough. |
