Please where is Mr Ab1x, we have missed your contributions on this forum. I remember you talked about industrial borehole that uses less or no power to pump, please kindly explain how it work or the number of the drilling industry for contact 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ab1x: 5:18pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
Ttalk: Before it can work, you need to get borehole expert to determine the formation of the land. You don't need submersible pump machine before it works. After drilling, the water will come out naturally from the borehole, you only need pipe to channel the water into the pond. I follow the thread bumper to bumper. Just that I am very busy with other day to day activities. |

chidarl85:advice is be available to care for them now, if not severe, but if d infection is already severe, you come to see them all with d same issue on monday. what you need to do now is minimise it to d bearest minimum. keep good & clean water, disinfect yr tanks( don't use izal or dettol oooh), salt solution or malachite green will do, change water more often, reduce feeding. tetracyline could assist. Next time, learn to inculcate good water mgt . It can be fatal in extreme cases 3 Likes |

Hi, fellow and great farmers, i am sure we have all noticed the sudden increase in prices of all commodities in the country in recent times, not to talk of the incessant fuel crisis that also has negative impacts on running our farms on a day to day basis. . Directly and indirectly, it has affected fish farming and farmers as a whole. In view of this, it is necessary that fish farmers increase the price of their fish to be able to meet up with the increase in cost of living and cost of farming in Nigeria . Usually the price of fish (1kg ), averagely sells at N500 per kilo in Lagos on our farms. This price has be static for so long despite the rising costs of farming. Sometimes its even less than N500 per kilo, it all depends on market factors at any point in time. Nothing stops us from selling bulk sales at N600 per kilo to market women! Yes.... This will cushion the effects of increased cost of production. We can only do this with one voice (as farmers) and with deep resolve. Also farmers should try as much as possible to reduce the cost of farming to the barest minimum so as to further widen their profit margin and also try to increase their turn over rate and farm capacities. Let us not labour in vain. We should also be able to enjoy the fruits of our labour and be able to live as comfortably; even more comfortably than people with white collar jobs. REMEMBER THAT NO FARMER, NO NATION. 7 Likes |

Hello house, I am/was a fish farmer say, 2-3years back, but things changed so I quit or rather put the business on hold since then. But now am looking at coming back to the business, not large scale now. Let me say for fun, and in a small way. I am a pro in hatching and all. That's not were I need help. I stay in Iyana ipaja area of Lagos. I need help in this various area: 1. How much would it cost me to build a vat, just one. 2. What is the market price for Female and male broodstock. 3. What is the price of ovaprim? 4. How much does fingerlin/juvernile cost now? And please help with some other relevant infos for a fresh starter. |

chidarl85:there are antibiotics sold for fish aquaceryl etc. and the human tetracycline is also ok for use. though I don't know the size of your pond, what type of pond i.e. concrete or earthen etc, if not earthen use 4-6 capsules depending on water volume. Essential that your pond has enough oxygen and this you could easily achieve by doing dripping or changing water. It is also crucial to know that the effect can disappear, but you should continue a good water mgt. If you can lay your hands on aquapro, it keeps your fishes healthy and gives meaningful growth 2 Likes |
