Budget average of N250 per fish if you are using local feed of 40% crude protein from 3month
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by nycobama: 6:42pm On Feb 18, 2016
Is it possible to do catfish farming indoor?

I will like people in the house to advise me on the type of pond to use. I'm moving to my site and I have a compound and extra 3 bedroom flat which I intend using for fish farming. I live abroad and we do buy some extremely large catfish here tho we know they have their style of breading them. I'm planing to go through some training here before coming home to combine the experience here with the one I will learn relating with Nigeria setting. Kindly send useful guide/information to my email or add me on WhatsApp olumidepopoola44@gmail.com +60146489827

I am just about to expand the plantation and this is the first cycle. Lettuce have a gestation period of 6-7weeks so with proper scheduling, a weekly harvest is feasible. I will weigh when they are ripe for harvest before eating... Lol.

Pls where is ur location,sir?

There are variations on how much you could spend on fishes. It's dependent on the kind of feed u wanna use(local feed or imported).
I advice u start with imported, u can reverse to local after at 2months.
For 3000fishes, budget abt #400000 at d least in feeding them.

Hello, it all depends on your target weight, type of feed and your management.
If you use the gelatin feed and your target is 1kg average weight then it is safe to budget 1kg feed per fish. In other words you would need approx. 3,000 kg ( 60 bags).
At #10,000 per bag, you would need #600,000.
Note, a bag of gelatin feed may cost #11,000 per bag depending on location. Thanks.

There is no how you would use 133 to raise a catfish to attain 1kg, even if you are using earthen pond. The best way to go is feed your fish quality feeds and you would get quality result without stressing yourself

Very true 133 naira is not possible. If one should use foreign feeds all through then even one million naira may not be enough. But what you put in determines what you get.

BELEXYFARMS:


How did you plant the lettuce? Did u just cut small holes in styrofoam for the seeds and drop the styrofoam in ur fish ponds?

Create a nursery for them, either soil based or like in my case I used foam. Sprinkle ammonia rich water on it for a few days and the magic is done. When the plants shed off their seed leaves and have true leaves you transplant into the aquaponics system. Therein, growth is rapid.

The general idea is to mimic the nature in soil... If you water a plant it evaporates or the soil takes it in... It's not water logged otherwise it would spoil. Sorry for the delayed response.
