Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by chilanfarms(m): 7:01am On Dec 04, 2015 |
Calyb: I am training this fish here for a custom officer, four earth ponds with 40ftx40ftx4ft. Each containing abt 4000 pieces of catfish. I am using foreign feeds to feed them. Now what they are eating is so much. What is the cheapest means of feeding them to cut cost. Oyaaa over to you fisheries experts # Thank God they are eating well, pls give dem quality feed till like 3months b4 u move to cheap feeds or local feeds pls, 4000X4 fishes is not a small investment.... God will continue to bless ur custom offier n you dt is on ground... #Note for table size ur pond is not deep enough, @least 6ft deep n 5ft water level... |

With that size of pond there should be 6 pillars, the four corners and two in the middle to prevent pond bulge and collapse.. Chaining all pillars is as good as as constructing a brand new pond i won't advice that.. Did he use water proof cement while plastering? he did not. he used regular cement. |

Both in concrete and earthen , catfish can get to table size with 4ft deep , in fact 4ft is more recommended for grow out, because adult catfish comes to the surface once in a while to take oxygen in the air, thats why, they do better than other fishes in very poor quality water and low oxygen ,than most other fishes. When your pond is too deep ,then they burn there energy which they need to gain weight for swimming to the surface . Every little thing counts, in fish farming for maximum profit , we dont overlook ,i advice 4ft and not more than ::GOD BLESS 1 Like |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft777(m): 1:55pm On Dec 04, 2015 |
During my recent successful completion of my program in aquaponics in france . I was opportuned to say, my eyes have been well open to latest techniques of maximizing profit in all form of agric business , i was opportune to know on a practical bases that nothing in agriculture in fact the world is a waste . There is no such word existing anymore as a waste ,every waste can be recycled to something valuable . Isreal is situated in a desert; but they grow and export crops that are originally ment for cold countries .Holland is a man made country , formed by adding sand rocks etc to form a country out of water, but still they grow and export crops that naturally grows in desert environment .All these means with the right knowledge most impossible things can be possible. During my program ,one of my instructors ask how come west africa especially Nigeria with a vast land tropical and rain forest zone, with almost all year round sunshine and rain fall , still import almost every food and export less. He used these exact words that we are under utilizing our God own given potential. Now to cut the long story short , its time we fish farmers add extra value to our production and maximize or utilize our farm to its full capacity . How do you feel to know that for a long time now in fish farming, we have been throwing or should i say flushing away valuable money, and we call it the polluted water in our pond so, we just flush it away . While in developed countries , farmers will kill to have that same polluted water at any price .How do you feel when you realize that you can make extra 30 to 100 thousand naira weekly , from that your polluted fish water , at almost no additional cost of production , no additional cost of land just your same pond with double products to sell at additional profit .......Well its not magic , this is called AQUAPONICS SYSTEM . The name may sound so big, but its a very simple system, by which your waste fish water is converted to fertilizer, to grow your vegetables tomatoes pepper and lots of other crops , without additional land or soil . These crops can be grown in water as its medium. Let me break it down , when your fish escret, that is when your fish poo , combines with uneaten feed forms amonia in your pond water, do u know that, this same amonia can be broken down to nitrites then further broken down to nitrates bywhat is called beneficial bacteria and fungai in another chamber .To most science oriented people its called the nitrogen cycle , but forget the grammar .It is a very simple system which, even an old grand parent in the village can operate well, if taught the abc of it. These processes occur naturally in nature ,it really do not need your assistance to function . Do u know installing this in your already functioning fish farm, does not cost more than just 20 thousand naira , and weekly you can harvest cucumber, strawberry gabbage, lettuce, tomatoes , pepper ugu leaves , pumpkin leave bitter leaves etc . A lot more crops can be planted with this system without the need of extra land and soil . Now i and my team have device a great way to recycle this water, through this system , back to your fish pond ,by gravity ensuring your fish gets a very clean water free of solid waste , ions, with a balance ph and well aerated water. This means u spend less energy ,there by aerating your pond in the process. With this process you can comfortable increase and stock 5 or more times the number of fishes you stock in a particular pond , spending less energy . For more elaboration, do you know you can do this system almost any were and any tiny space, you can install it in your balcony , kitchen backyard etc and your family will eat fresh organic vegetables , tomatoes daily for better health cause its grown without inorganic fertilizer, no insecticide no herbicide ,pure natural organic product . In europe and other advance countries , these products cost more than the normal crops grown on soil , they are called BIO products, cause its more healthier for humans, when we eat organically grown food . And if you want to go commercial u can sell vegetables tomatoes weekly to people around your neighbourhood.... Let me further elaborate , do u know all these crops i mention can comfortably grow in only water without soil, and they grow 2 times as faster than the ones grown on soil, with 2 times better yield of the crops produce. For example if an tomatoes crop gives you 30 to 40 tomatoes fruits or seed, and it grows in 3 to 4 months depending on the specie of the tomatoes an aquaponic system based tomatoes will produce 50 or more fruit or crop and start producing in about 2 months or little more .This major reason is because in aquaponics system the roots take the nutrients straight from the water medium and conserves its energy . This energy is transfard by the roots to the crop to form growth and fruits ,while in the normal or soil system the root utilizes its energy to dig deeper into the soil looking for nutrients and minerals there by growing slower and yielding lower . I want to let you know that plants do not feed on soil , they feed on nutrients and minerals in the soil , so if in aquaponics system the nutrients are just readily available to the roots, then they just take the nutrients direct without using up or burning up extra energy in looking for nutrients there by utilizing the extra energy gained,there by converting all that energy to growth and fruits making. This implies that in aquaponics system , crops mature faster with better and faster yield this implies to better profits . The advantages of aquaponics system is so much that, all can not be written in just one write up , do you know farmers using concrete ponds in there backyard can do this system as cover for there pond , there by no need looking for money to by tapolin or build costly roofs over there pond. What you need do is to install the system over your pond and it makes a proper shade and you go home making more profits weekly on the produce, you get on it at no additional cost ,space or soil. With just about 20k to install the pipes that will carry the water round and styrofoam to hold the plants firmly to the water . Styrofoam is that thing that looks like white foam you see , when you buy new electronics ,the white carton u see inside a new electronic carton, to protect the electronic.There are lots other medium like the cheap rectangular or square light plastics that floats on water etc With this our improvised system, you dont really need to buy the ready made bio fillter , the process its self is natural bio filtering on its own. Let me take you through again in another explanation for a better understanding - Aquaponics is a symbaotic relationship between plant and fish , meaning both your fish and plant gain from each other . Now your fish produces amonia in the water and the water becomes bad , the water is pumped out of your pond either by gravity flow or with any simple pump or just by opening the outlet of your pond .The amonia water goes through a pvc pipe to a chamber, this chamber can be any drum of 500 liters or more depending on the capacity of fish and plant you want to grow. This drum or chamber will contain simple and cheap materials like charcoal sponge foams gravel sands grass oystershell and a lots of other simple bio materials inside the drum . Because of the organic materials in the drum , the beneficial bacterial grows naturally there and they feed on the bad or toxic amonia in the water ,in this process of feeding on the amonia , they breaks down the amonia to nitrites and then to nitrates .The nitrates water is filtered to remove all the solid undissolved waste naturally, by the components i mentioned earlier like the sand gravel foam sponge grass, these are very simple and cheap materials in the drum that acts as a solid waste filter and also as host for the bacteria to grow and multiply properly . From this chamber after the bacteria have completed the process of breaking the amonia to nitrates the nitrate cocentrated water is released through an outlet in the drum, goes through the pvc pipe to the plants ,were the plants roots absorbs the nitrate as there nutrients and you are left with a water free of nitrates and pure .This water is channeled back to the pond by gravitation , there by reducing the energy used, because we try to reduce cost by any means to maximize profit. This fresh clean water free from all toxin when it enters your pond by gravity, either by shower or rose system takes oyygen in the atmosphere there by aerating your pond better. And when u have constant oxygen in your ponds . you can stock more fishes per square meter there by maximizing the use of a particular pond and increasing profit . There are other systems i will treat later like HYDROPONICS , which is the planting of crops with only water , without soil and no fish and DIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM , which is planting your crop with fish water or non fish water but getting water staright to the roots directly for twice fast growth . This systems are been installed in my farm, its still in progress , by GODS grace it will be completed by this month end, and i will be glad to shear the knowledge with everybody on this tread . From next year febuary interested persons or farms can visit my farm for first hand knowledge of it . Also i can help install this system in your farm . if you are interested, you can contact me by my whatsapp. All questions are welcome .The future is now!!!!!! GOD BLESS 9 Likes 1 Share |

jemjem: Oga soft777. Many thanks your lecture has opened my eyes and made me think differently. The sky is no longer our limit
Thank GOD sir , the major thing is we should not overlook these little informations we try to dish out as mear write ups. The greatest problem any nation can face is food security. I grew up hearing government will help farmers everyday on the news but till date nothing, its time we maximize profit and dont wait for government lips services for help . In advanced countries around the world ,the richest people are into farming in one form or the other, i can give countless list of names here .Gone are the days we say, farming is for the illiterate and poor ,and that there reward is in heaven .I say our reward is here on earth. Life itself is risk, if you dont try something or attempt to try something, you just cant seat in the comfort of your sitting room and judge if something will work or not . Lets all dynamic and industrious people on this great tread take the bull by the horn , start small no matter your capital , start little and grow gradually ,if you dont have land you can rent , if u dont have pond you can rent ,learn while on the job , its the best way of knowing the job better , mistakes are allowed to some certain extent . I tell u with new revolutions we will be dishing out by GODs grace on this tread weekly . Will help change the way most people will see fish farming . Agriculture is full time business, its no more a thing you do for pleasure or at your free time . its now a different ball game , its a money spinner, if u equip yourself with the right skills ,do u belieive in just a plot of land ,you can go home with millions monthly as profits with the right skills. Fish and other farming have gone beyond aquireing very large acares of land . You can maximizse profit on even half plot of land. People thinking of quitting fish farming due to un calculated looses , or those doing fish farming as part time will come to see the benefits o fish farming and practice it full time. I am a testimony to others , i left my good paying job 3 years ago in holland , just to invest big in my integrated farm and manage it myself , now i can proudly say i earn 10 times more than my previous job . Though it came with a lot of ups and down, but with God , determination , focus and seeking training or knowledge , you will get there . THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, WILL BE A REVOLUTION IN AGRICULTURE IN NIGERIA AND WE ARE PROUD THAT WE ALL ON THIS FORUM WILL BE THE FIRST TO START AND BENEFIT :WATCH OUT 2016 WILL BE GREAT FOLLOW UP THE TREND DONT BE LEFT OUT !!!!!!!!!

LOL you are right sir , better we get all about fish farming then add the additional value to it for more profit... Please i will be a little late .I have started the write up about feed since 4am this morning and the more i write the more i discovered there are more grounds to cover on feed . feed is an elaborate topic , appart from quality fingerlings its the major reason for profit or lose , so dont be surprise all next week daily we discuss feed , later today before 7pm tonight i will post, bear with me thank you.

Thanks Thanks for your confidence in the system , installation on farms will start from febuary sir , in as much my team is on ground in nigeria. i still want to be on ground from febuary to personally supervise any project . And the one on my farm is still under constructions i will pre fare before i install on your farm you take a day visit to my farm by january to see a life demonstration and see its benefits , then we can install by febuary on yours , it cost almost nothing . But if you have just constructed your pond tell them to create an harvest point at the most shallow part of your earthen pond it will make your harvesting very easy . I like you also to practice super intensive , you will profit greatly , and tell the people constructing to dig you a little pond i will tell u how to cultivate tilapia and shrimp in it . Were by you can feed your fish with there eggs or fries to reduce your feed cost and maximise profit , I will put you though how on how to raise the tilapia and shrimp at zero cost of feeding , you will be shock to know how your feed cost will divide by 2 and maximise profit ,contact me via whattsapp i will explain to you better.

Sir soft777, my fingerlings are just 3 weeks old and they are about 40000 pieces and I just poured them on my15*15 feet earth pond.before month end, they post fingerings so that I can stock just 5000pieces. Please I plan to use recirculatery system on the two Tarpolin pond with size 6*36 feet and 4 feet depth.I have just three big tanks for the recyclatery system but I don't know where to buy the remaking component like bio filter, UV system, aerator, and so on. Please can I come and visit your farm to get a first hand info on how to set my own recirculatory system or u can refer me to an expert for a fee. 1 Like |

Good day sir. I am very interested in the aquaponics system. This year I tried a crude version of it but failed. Your number is not on your profile. How do I get in touch with you?
