Bitter experience I need all farmers to learn from...there is this certain woman who sells fish...at first wen she came to my farm to purchase my fishes, I told her plain blank tat I don't sell on credit...she started patronising and paying all sum just to gain my trust, then she introduced a credit scheme of her taking my fishes and paying after 3 days,I was scared of goin into it but since she has done more than 70k purchase with me, I just gave her a trial which am still battling today...she started abusing the credit facility, she doesn't pay on time and I wd have to be begging for my OWN money to be paid. As am posting this thread, she is owed me 1500 of 7500 being 15kg of fishes she toke from my farm 2 month ago. She is hell bent tat she won't pay me, I wd make sure I involve t police even if I ve to spend 5k to get my 1500. I want her to knw one Naira matters to ones biz... My advice...NEVER sell ur fish on credit. Sell to them the amount they ve wt them. 1 Like |

dkings101: Hmmmm some market women are very horrendous, i will advice you consider the 1500 as a bad debt and move on cos involving police is just waste of money and you precious time my brother. 2 Likes |

[quote author=soft777 post=40174945] The major catfish are Clarias gariepinus, Heterobranchus bidorsalis, Heterobranchus hybrid or heteroclaris, etc clarias is the major specie u see in the west , heterobranchus in the south south , the hybrid is the cross between clarias and heterobranchus , hybrid has more tissue, meaning it has more flesh than the other 2, heterobranchus is more testier. clarias can be reared in a higher stocking density than the other 2 , and it is more immune to diseases than the other 2, hybrid and claries has more survival rate than heterobranchus because heterobranchus are more carnivours. All can be reared with great profit if you follow the different procedure of farming them . To me i use clarias for mellange because, i can store them in large quantities in a lesser space with low oxygen, and i use hybrid for my table size grow out because. it grows to a large size faster and has more tissue, means more weight and more profit . But all the species has there advantages and disadvantages , but important is rearing themthe right recommended ways ..I guess this answers your question , if you need more elaboration on any specific specie ,on how to rear it, i will be glad to be of more assistance, thank u and GOOD LUCK[/quote. Is it possible to transport tilapia successfully on a 10hour trip? How long does it take for hetreobranchus or hybrid to get to 1kg? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft777(m): 11:35pm On Nov 21, 2015 |
[quote author=oscarvicto post=40272951][/quote] yes u can . but tilapia are more delicate so better use oxygenated bags . from fingerlings in 4 months you should get 1kg but it also depends greatly on the seed bought , water management and quality and quantity of feed given |

soft777: Soft 777, are we not making a mistake in dis stocking density, I you say 5 per meter square, dt means a 3m x 3m will hold only 45 fishes cos ( 3*3*5=45). Then are we saying depth is not a factor in stocking since we are not calculating in volume? |

[size=14pt]Big salute to all my Ogas in the house, i bring good tidings to those that still sacrifices their male broodstocks for hatching .. recently i bought 2 females and 1 male broodstock from Zartech ,but i wasnt happy with the result so i decided to try out something fun to make myself happy. few hours after i obtained the testis from the M.B, i decided to stich em up. you wont belive it, its now day 4 and the fish is doing so well upon the fact that i cut it almost 4.5 inches on the abdomen, besides i didnt have it in mind then to stich em up so i cut with the intention that i was gon smoke it and cook with Egusi soup. trust me it was an easy procedure. And if a newbie like me could do it think every hatcher should try it irrespective of your experience, I read overtime the testis gon grow back and same broodstock can be reused just like the female broodstocks too.[/size] |

lobell: Yes you are right, like i said i never thought of doing that i still hope it will grow back. besides its now day 5 still doing well. I will put everything into practice in my next hatching. Though am still struggling with the PH of my water (within the range of 4-5.7) and electricity is another thing entirely, am just looking for a suitable method to buffer the PH to 6.5 and avoiding flow through, possibly i will have to come up with my own McDonald jar. And much thanks to Olalekan Josh on AGRICNETWORK, with his article i was able to culture my own Daphnia. I have learnt whole lot on this thread and agricnetwork. to the whole house i say a wonder thanks to you all, keep sharing and keep learning, God will bless you all. 1 Like |

adebajo11:You are on point sir , in europe and advanced countries its a general practice done on other cultured or farmed fish like channel catfish , stripe bass fish etc . For the african catfish, if you are to use this method , this resources is best used with male brood with all the best quality cause the reason of preservation of this male parent brood fish , is to make sure you get the same quality fries like there male parent , since catfish fries carries more of the physical characteristics of the male parent than the female . Meaning the fries resemble mostly the male or takes after the male parent gene , but be very cautious in that when you stich the fish, dont add it to the other brood immediately, or else the other broods in your ponds, with the smell of blood will start to peck on the injury and if care is not taking they get into a big fight there by injuring other broods in the process and eventually stress then death . Also when reusing its milt or spam, is never 100 percent like when you previously use it , am not saying it wont hatch, but am after good percent hatch, so to get good percent hatch , where u normally use 1 male u can get another male and add its milt with the already stiched brood male milt to get maximum hatch . What we are after is more percentage hatch leads to more fries which eventually lead to more profit ...My candid advice as a comercial hatchery, use fresh ones but for little hatcheries the already used and stiched brood is ok GOD BLESS 1 Like |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft777(m): 12:35pm On Nov 23, 2015 |
lamude23:Mr lamude23 thanks for the question, but am very much correct and on point. May be you did not understand my write up . Let me elaborate . A square meter is just the size of those white plastic table used in parties , you cant calculate a quare meter without multiplying depth ; for example a pond of 10 by 15 and depth 4ft , MULTIPLY the length breath and width divde by 3 and you get the total square meter in your pond . Using this standard pond as an example, 10 by 15 by 4 = 600 cubic meter, then divide by 3, you get 200 square meter . So it implies that in this pond size, you will get 200 square meter . So for standard flow through system, using 5 fish , this stocking rate or density amounts to 5 multiply by your total squqre meter 200. This gives 1000 fishes, and it implies that , in a pond of 10 by 15 by 4 ft you can stock 1000 fish to grow out and you can stock higher if your market target is mellange , using standard method . But note , we have different types of system you can operate in your farm ; STANDARD SYSTEM , INTENSIVE SYSTEM and SUPER INTENSIVE SYSTEM. Personally, i operate superintensive system to maximize the full usage of my ponds and i record almost five times profits on a particullar pond. If you want to know how you can get this system or any other system with effective yield . Mr lamude 23 sir, u can talk to me on my whats app for a private chart GODBLESS 1 Like |
