Due to the scarcity of fish oil ,i want to quickly tell u how to make ,your own fish oil .
Get some fresh fish the very cheap ones you can see in your locality, cut off the head and slice the stomach open to remove the intestine , its very important so the head or intestine will not cause the fish to rot before forming the oil.
Cut the fishes to small pieces and put them in a container like the small white plastic paint bucket , add small water to just cover
the fish top a little. Close the plastic , so that air can not get in , and look for any cloth like a towel to cover it ... Keep it in a cool dry place for 10days .
Open it, and you will discover a thick white layer on the water because oil and water does not mix, gently remove the oil from the water buy pouring it out into another jar and you have 100 percent fish oil with good raw fish smell . The more the fish ,the more the volume of fish oil and the used fish can be add to making your fish feed so nothing is a waste .
Now to increase your fish oil, you can add to every 1 liter fish oil, add one quarter vegetable oil and mix to give u more quantity ,
Advantages of fish oil , it serves as an attractant and its a source of oil and protein , it can almost totally replace or reduce the amount of costly fish meal used in your feed .
When you have low quality feed just spray fish oil on it , allow it to sun dry and bag. you will see how the fish will eat the feed they earlier rejected ..... other source of attractants are chicken intestine waste , cow and pig fats and hatchery waste eggs any of these can be used also .
i can explain how to convert most of them to strong fish attractant GOD BLESS

Boss soft777 thank you so much for your help so far I really appreciate you sir. I want to use this opportunity to let the house know that the feed formula that soft777 gave me is working magic. My fingerlings of 2months and 2weeks added an average weight of 100grams -150grams in two weeks. Some above 150grams. The fishes now have an average weight of 300grams - 350grams, 400grams-500grams and some above 600grams. They will be 3 months on 3rd of January. I will keep the house posted. Thanks to all the gurus in the house.

This is wonderful sir and these are success stories we love to see here , prof robonski thanks for this wonderful tread , if in 2 months you are getting a range of 350 to 600 gram that is an average of 475 kg ,then from my calculation your fcr is about 0.8 ,this is a superb result in fish farming .
If you keep it up sir in 3 months you will get an average 1kg , my advice is , dont sell ye,t contact me for super weight finisher feed formula,when they are 3 month and by 4 months you should be heading towards 1.8 to 2kg. Then you can sell .
Keep up the good work sir ,more grace to your elbow

This is an excellent result. Mr soft77 is surely da Boss.

I also commend you for following tips here and adhering to good farm management practices. I like the fact that you're weighing your fish at intervals and keeping records, I'm sure this cycle will be profitable for you unlike your first 2 cycles. Keep it up.

Given that you can stock about 1400 to achive average weight of 1000kg in about five months, a 10ft by 20ft concrete pond will be ok. Basis of arriving at this dimension is explained earlier in this thread. Lenght X Width X height of water. Divide by 3 and multiply by 5 (for concrete ponds).
((10X20X4)/3)X5 will give 1333. This size of pond will accomodate 1400 to table size.

Wonderful!!! This thread is raising up gurus by the day..

Can you please post the formula of the feed, it seems we're on the same page, mine will be 3month by Jan 2 and they are presently weighing similar kg like yours and i intend going to the mill tomorrow Saturday or next week depend on when i finally made up my mind.

I have posted my intended formula earlier and seeks contribution from experience farmers of which Soft777 considered is on the high side.

Please i count on your input.

@Soft777, please what crude protein content would you recommend for fish of 2month - 4month.

Also, what should be the minimum ANIMAL PROTEIN [fish meal]for local feed require for fish of this age?

This will really help me arrive at a reasonable price
