soft777: Oga, ur AVC on feed alone is about 230. Unless u are giving ur fish 10% fishmeal. Table size is a case of ' in the eyes of the beholder ' considering my experience with many upcoming farmers. 1 Like |

eseosa77:Hello, i would like to know how much that bio filter costs. As for the capacities of your ponds i think from what i have learnt here, its more like 1600 fingerlings. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 6:10am On Dec 01, 2015 |
Please if you know more about bio filter what specification we have to go for a concrete pond (e.g a concrete pond that can take 1500 fishes side question what could size be) can a bio filter serve for up to four pond or each need to have is own.

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by eseosa77(m): 6:14am On Dec 01, 2015 |
GOLDLOVER: The cost of the bio filter is 320usd and the shipping is 192usd.Are u saying the two ponds cannot take 3000 in a re circulatory system. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by GOLDLOVER: 7:28am On Dec 01, 2015 |

eseosa77:Biofillters used in aqua re circulatory system comes in different capacity , most of the the biofilters comes with a manual telling you capacity of fish it can work with , because i may tell u multiply your square meter by 5 or 10 , but that will be a wrong answer because i dont know yet the capacity of the biofillter you want to buy or use. If for example ur biofillter has capacity of 2000 fishes and u stock 4000 fishes ,then the system will crash or collapse because the bacteria that breaks the amonia and nitrates , which are escreta from the fish will not be able to cope, with the amount of waste coming from the fishes . There by the water will not circulate well for them ,that will spell disaster , so its better you tell the biofillter sellers , to tell u how many capacity catfish to table size the biofillter can handle, before buying . The higher the capacity of the biofillter , the higher the fish to be stocked. NOTE USING BIOFILTER WILL DEFINATELY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF FISH TO BE STOCK : GODBLESS 2 Likes |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by GOLDLOVER: 7:55am On Dec 02, 2015 |
eseosa77:If the capacity of ur biofilter is 45000 L, then i think it will be just fine since the combined volume of both ponds is far less than 45000 L. ( 1 cubic foot holds 28.32 L ). (Cubic vol = L * B * H ) |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft777(m): 9:35am On Dec 02, 2015 |
eseosa77:yes YOU ARE VERY ON POINT SIR ; you can stock even 5000 fishes it will do the job perfectly GOODLUCK 3 Likes |
