Good day House, I appreciate the comments and suggestions of all contributors. I have really learnt alot. I once had some prevous experience with catfish farming using earthen ponds some years back when my dad raised but the he wasn't satisfied with the outcome so he abandoned the ponds. After going through this thread, I decided with my sister to start again with info gthered from this forum. The fishes are now 3 months old. We decided to carry out the 2nd sorting exercise and check the weight of the fishes. i was however shocked at the weight recorded, the fishes look seemingly big in size had an average weight of 0.3- 0.5kg. I will like to know if the weight is okay considering the amount spent (almost) N150/fish. |

Greetings to everyone in the house. Please, I have a serious proble and wud be glad if u guys can help me out. I've had several terrible experiences with buying fingerlings in the past - slow growth and deaths. So, I wud like to start producing my own seed to be sure of what I stock. But the problem is that I've tried hatching several times but always, the fries die before 5 or 6 days of management. There's a certain white cotton-like substance that seems go grow in the water and kill them. Please what do I do? Can anyone help me with step by step guide of how to manage them. Secondly, what size of net mesh do I need for incubation to ensure complete seperation of hatchlings and dead eggs and shells. God bless u guys plenty. Thanks in anticipation of ur help. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by fzero: 2:54am On Aug 12, 2015 |
ntyce:0.5kg is ok at three months, work on them more coz you have just two months to harvest. Though it depends on what size you stocked fingerlings or juvenile. What pond system do you use. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ntyce(m): 5:26am On Aug 12, 2015 |
fzero: Thanks. I have an earthen pond. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by abbeydeeone: 2:27pm On Aug 12, 2015 |
hello guys in the house. Can anyone please hint me the numbers of imported feeds 15kg each to feed 1200 juveniles till they are 3 months old -melange. Thank you all |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ayosat(m): 4:04pm On Aug 12, 2015 |
abbeydeeone:If you are looking forward for melange, then project around #150 for each cat. That means for the 1200 juveniles, project around 40 bags of feeds for them. |

Abeg oo, my fish don't ve apetite to eat well. Is there any bacteria infection or something else? Do they need any form of treatment? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by pinnocho: 11:39am On Aug 13, 2015 |
Good Morning Friends, I need advice on the use of tarpauline ponds. Do they have pecuiliar limitations that can affect the growth of the fish? Robonski, Belexema et al good job so far |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by enuguff: 11:50am On Aug 13, 2015 |
Can I get fingerlings that will be ready for harvest by late Nov or early december with good management practice? If so, where, how and how much? Thanks. U can reach me at athanony@yahoo.com. I am in Enugu and I need abt five or six hundred. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by fzero: 3:56pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
dkings101:How old are they? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ayosat(m): 9:22am On Aug 14, 2015 |
GOLDLOVER:it is profitable only if you do it on a large scale. mind you I said project #150. not necessary you will spend up to that. if you have fast growing fish, you won't spend that much to get melange. but melange is done on a large scale to get any meaningful profit out of it. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ayosat(m): 9:34am On Aug 14, 2015 |
dkings101:there are some factors that can cause them to loose appetite apart from infection. * you need to check the water quality. if the water is dirty they will not eat. * weather can also affect fish appetite. fish eat less during cold weather. infection can also cause them not to eat properly. cause if they are sick, then they will reject food. u need to know exactly what category your fish fall into before you can know the right treatment. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ayosat(m): 9:39am On Aug 14, 2015 |
enuguff:this will be difficult cos you need between 4 to 5 months to get majority to be 1kg and above. but in three months like you have in mind can only get you melange. 1 Like |

fzero: They are more than 3 months... ayosat: Thanks...I am considering introducing multivitamin in there water same way we use Aquacirine plus...I want to try giving them fish biotic and multivitamin and see if there wd be changes.. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ayosat(m): 6:09pm On Aug 14, 2015 |
dkings101:good combination. also make sure your water is clean. that also boost fish appetite. you can as well do little cleaning of the pond to remove any slime building up there. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by babaoloola(m): 8:37pm On Aug 14, 2015 |
