I have been observing what has been going on, on this Forum for a very long time now, but have not send a comment, because I have not started farming. But the joy of the way farmers are assisting each other is overwhelming that I could not hold it any longer. My gratitude goes to Ronboski15, Aquadude15, Belexyfarms, and every other person both people that are asking questions and the ones that are suggesting solutions, because that's where we amateur learn from. I have not seen a wonderful family like this, People disclosing their mistakes and ideas that cost them money, to help and save others from loosing money in order to maximize profit. (This is amazing), I don't have anything to offer in appreciation than to ask God to bless everyone of you massively.

Am based at Ogun State (Agbara) and will start soon.

Remain blessed!

We are at your service sir.

Teepompey:

You're highly welcome.

Pls my brother, at what month did you start giving them this locally mixed feed?

olubankemi:



thank you so much. another Spirit took over me and never knew i could be that bold and confident. i returned some of my fishes back to the pond. not cos the price was not ok but cos this particular one was so abusive. i told her to gerout.


@Belexy, not difficulties cos i was more than what they were giving. As they were incantating i was speaking in tongues.

Hello ma, pls give us some update on your harvest.

Lorjes:

Within one and half month to two months for the 1st formula but the 2nd formula which I think you are asking is three and half months.

obstead200:
[b]I am seriously interested in this question. Cos I also plan to start breeding catfish.

Now to attempt to answer the question, I think you will be able to sell. However, I feel that the sales may not be as high as one could get in the southwest where every body eats catfish and a lot of market women sell only catfish.

But I still feel that there will still be sales to major fast food outlets, bush bars and hotels; especially if one can grow fishes of 2.5kg and above. So many hoteliers and bush bar operators travel all the way to bayelsa and rivers state to buy catfish of that size. i know of at least 2 pple who do that in owerri.

Moreover, if Buhari seriously enforces the ban on importation, then it will even make a lot of things better. Just go to Johnny-best cold room in eke-onuwa owerri and see the way pple queue up to buy cartons of imported chicken and imported catfish.....both are illegaly imported contraband items.

U can always dry the fish and sell it in cartons if it appears u are wasting feed on trying to make it grow out. At least dry fish can be sold anywhere in nigeria.

I stand to be corrected sha. other pple's opinion are welcome.[/b]

Thanks bro. But I am planning on raising catfish with tilapia fish, let me see the one that will have more market sales. But I dnt knw if u have an idea of the one that will have an higher sales. Thanks.

catfish has higher sales onlike tilapia dat are easily caught by d fishermen nd soldd to d ilaje women @cheaper price nd d demand is not like dat of a catfish....thou my own view...so i will humbly like to hear from my boss ooo

You may be right, but with ur comment, its like you are based in southwest, cos I knw catfish is sold well there, don't knw if that is the same in the East. God bless.

that is exactly d same thing I am planning. My ponds are almost completed.
Just like the poster after u pointed out, catfish sells higher. But if u breed ur tilapia well and at a lower cost than wat is obtainable from imported ones, then you will be the toast of fast-food outlets. ........My opinion though

I understands dat tilapia breeds thru the mouth and therefore they might breed until it gets out of control if care is not taken. So one needs to be careful and apply the sex change hormone therapy on them early enough.

I feel dat worst case scenario, I can dry them off and sell as dried fish........u know dis flat fish dat is sold in groups of 5 or so for 300 - 400 naira. I know a lot of pple dat do just dat.
