guys, please pardon me for over-flogging this issue... but considering the rising exchange rate and implications for cost of feed, how much does it currently costs (on the average) to breed 1000 catfishes from hatching to mélange ? |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Abiola1016: 1:02pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Thanks for the write up robonski et al. I am really looking to venture into the business. I have done a lot of research myself and i do have some questions for you. 1) Please how many fish is advisable to stock in a 10 by 18 ft concrete pond with recirculation pump running? 2) what is the proportion of feeding. One feed seller told me its one 15kg bag per 1000 juvenile fish. Please advise 3) Are there any periodical medicines to use for the stock as it is in poultry? 4) where would you recommend to buy good stock of shooters? Thanks my reputable fish farmers |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ayosat(m): 6:07pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
cross234:it is possible. those ponds that are more exposed to sunlight will have a higher pH. so it depends on sunlight exposure. |

Good day everyone, pls am sort of doing a market research on catfish. Please does anyone knows the marketability of catfish in the East, in Abia state precisely. How long can a farmer sell at least about 10,000 catfishes in the Eastern part of the country especially in Abia state. God bless. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 2:57pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Abiola1016: 1.you can stock 1200 with recirculating pump running 2.I dont use calculation, i feed my feed to satiation and i try as much as possible not to over feed. 3.You can use iodeseryl, malachite green, blagdon 4.depends on you location, you can contact Ayosat , belexy farms www.agricnetwork.com 2 Likes |

Abiola1016:Boss Robonski has said it all. What I will just advice is for you to start small. Then increase with time. On your pond you can go small as well . 700 to 800 max fingerlings is cool for it. for drugs add multivitamin to tge list eg livestovit or any other good one . On feeding, you feed at least 3 times a day. I don't know if you mean 15 kg per 1000 cats to table size. If so it is very wrong . 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Lorjes: 5:19pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
robonski15: Ok sir, but any how try to be making out time for your people that always love to hearing from you. As I changed from that Coppens to Durante 2mm some of the fingerlings are not eating, I don't know whether it's too big for them Pls advise.. Kind regards |

This thread is one of most widely read agriculture thread on nairaland, please accept my apologies as am not trying to derail it. I have some mobile tarpaulin pond in Port Harcourt for sale as a result of temporary relocation. Their dimensions are 17ft by 9ft, 10ft by 8ft, 6ft by 6ft. It is a full starter pack for new farmers and good upgrade for old farmers. You can contact me on 08060468930 if you are interested.

TOPAI7: Mention prices too. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 1:53am On Jul 19, 2015 |
Lorjes: If they cant pick 2mm Durante keep feeding with coppens, when they are big enough to pick 3mm you can switch to durante.. it might be the size of the feed. www.agricnetwork.com |

Abiola1016: How many pond do you have? I will agree with oga Ayosat for you to start small before expanding.. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Abiola1016: 12:42pm On Jul 19, 2015 |
robonski15: I actually have 3 of 10x 18 feet constructed. But i want to start with one of them before expansion. I planned to max one pond out to a capacity (1500 juvenile) and see if i will have issues with the population. What do you think? Please advise. Also please how many gram of feed per juvenile to tablesize? Ayosat had mentioned 15kg per 1000 juvenile to table size is wrong please advise... |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Lorjes: 1:08pm On Jul 19, 2015 |
robonski15: Ok Sir, I will just do that but what size. Kind regards |

My greetings to all the bosses in the house and every member of this great thread. Oga robonski and any available expert in the house, I would like you to please help me interprete some measurements in Oga abx1's formula. In his formula, he listed premix 1, lysine 1, salt 1, DCP 1, Molasis 10. My question is: does the 1 means 1kg or 0.1? Thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by BELEXYFARMS(m): 10:25pm On Jul 19, 2015 |
Abiola1016: Most fish feed are usually sold in 15Kg bags. U cant use just one 15kg bag to feed 1000 fishes to table size. For your 1000 fishes, u will need over 1 tonne of feed ( thats over 1000kg of feed) to get them to 1kg table size and above. So you are looking at about 67 bags of 15kg packaged fish feed bags. 2 Likes |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 2:44am On Jul 20, 2015 |
Teepompey: FM (Danish) 72% 40 If it is this formula then its is 1kg considering the amount of fm,ts gnc and indomie |
