Hmmm...I greet all farmers in the house. How is ur farm and fishes doing? @robonski15 I greet u... I just want to share some experiences and advice too. Am in my second breeding and I must confess I made mistake and miscalculations...pls to all intending farmers, don't look at the mathematical calculation and profit oo, only rear the amount you can feed only and practical and field work matters too. I overstock my tank with fishes and it has screwed down my finance and wallet. All of these was because I didn't know how much it cost to feed certain amount of fish to maturity. I still struggle to get feed for them cos I can't see dem feed on themselves nor see dem malnourished all cos of the passion I have for the business. I have accepted my loss...though I might not get back my capital bt I want to rear and sell dem off even at lose. It's part of the experience for me. @robonski15 made mentioned of buyers using juju and others wanting to buy on credit. I have experienced it oo. I sold second batch (700-900g) of my fishes to this fish market woman for N500 per kg. She buys 10kg every 2 days cos she is new to the area and don't have where to keep the left overs after business day. At first she was paying cash, later on she want me to sell credit and I declined. I told her even where I milled my feed, if it remain N1 they won't let me carry my feed and as such I can't sell credit considering my losses so far. I sell and use the money to get new feed. Sometimes she wd come empty hand to ask me to sell to her on credit and I noticed the way she looks at me, she want to use her eyes to hypnotise me when we have eye contact, I would feel like giving her the fishes on credit bt wd later come back to my senses and stick on my ground that I don't sell credit oo...she wears black powder on her eye lid...I don't even look at eyes when I talk to her haha make her juju no get me. It has been a rough road so far...I know there is a better tomorrow and I won't give up...my third breeding would be a success cos I know the do and don't. More so, the last feed I did, I introduced Meramet. It is a highly protein source I spoke about in my recent post. I was told by my feed miller that 5kg of the Meramet is for 1tons feed. They would the maths for any kg feed u want to do. Happy farming 1 Like |

dkings101: I greet you too sir, i wouldn't agree more to what you said on stocking of pond, only stock what you can feed for the next 5 months and avoid over stocking. Left to me i wont sell my fishes to that market woman, source for other buyers to come clear the whole pond and start afresh.. We have seen cases like yours on this thread but after following instructions they bounced back yours wont be different.

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 10:05pm On Jul 03, 2015 |
Please gurus. I have a question that needs urgent response. My fishes just started eating 9mm last week Saturday and am ready to sell tomorrow though I still have six bags of feed left. Is one week of highest mm OK to give my fishes the desired weight? Should I wait till next week before selling? Would one more week make any difference in their weight gain? Thanks. 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by BELEXYFARMS(m): 10:41pm On Jul 03, 2015 |
olubankemi: The feed 'mm' has nothing to do with weight. Most feeds have the same composition from 4mm. NO, 1 WEEK will not add any significant weight gain. You need about 3 weeks of feeding to make it worthwhile if you need significant increase in weight. |

robonski15: BELEXYFARMS:what infection is this
|
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by dkings101(m): 10:57am On Jul 04, 2015 |
Vital feed = uac food Top feed = flour mill nig plc Soon dangote would introduce his own feed...this business is gaining ground, respect and exposure. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aquadude15: 12:56pm On Jul 04, 2015 |
miqos02:I have experienced something like this before. The infection eats deep into the skull which might lead to death or other fish feeding on the infected ones. What I did then was I separated the infected ones from the healthy ones, then I administered fish biotics to the healthy fishes for a day and 3 days to the infected fishes. The separation is to avoid cannibalism |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by manya(m): 2:55pm On Jul 04, 2015 |
Good evening to all farmers. I am a fish farmer from Bauchi. after several instances of harvesting and making profit, i now stocked 8,000 juveniles in my farm. I am also hoping to hatch next week. considering the huge quantity of feed that 10, 000 fish will consume when they grow up from 60 days and above, i decided to prepare my local feed. I want my colleagues here to help describe a reliable formula for me to use because i have little knoledge on that. i have soya beans cage, GNC, fish meal available. i need your help please. |
