It appears there are not enough dissolve oxygen in your pond, there could be many reason for this even with seemingly clean water. One of the reason could be that rain water has entered your pond, if its that kindly change the water immediately and they would be fine

I should recommend Chilanfarms for broodstocks supply and delivery across the country. I sent money for broodstock and other stuffs, someone I have never met and he delivered everything promptly and monitored the entire process till I got it. He is to be trusted. Thank you and same goes to all the good people sharing their knowledge on this forum.

I'm not not in doubt. We still have some people like that in our society. Not some people that are good talkers. Ordinary fingerlings they will supply rubbish after they must collected the payment from all angles.

thanks but the water was a new water.the pond is a new one(tarpaling pond) which I washed with salt solution before transfer

Your water could be clean and still endanger your fish. The early year rain comes with toxic, dust that when mixed with your pond water could contaminate it, the best thing is to change the water regardless of how clean it looks

To further clear the air of some raised issue here ,as said earlier we are one big family and colleagues .And there is no power tussle among existing and about to be formed association .
Having said that , i still want to inform my fellow colleagues here to know that , we never in our write up said we are forming a national association that will represent all farmers in nigeria or the so called umbrella body .We are forming a private association that will accommodate all fish farmers all over nigeria .So we all can shear constructive idea ,innovations and prompt and fast execution with , to further increase our business ,better our profits and livelihood at large. it is not must but by choice.
2,There is no time we wrote here that all other associations must join us ,we only advised that, we are ready to work with any sister association in reaching our said goals on time and fast .
3 I dont think there is need to be powerful or know someone in high places to be able to improve on your business or form co-operatives to help ourselves .Personally i believe , with co operation, hard work, honesty and dedication we shall get there.The young shall grow.
4 .We Proposed having zonal co-ordinators in the major fish farming zones of the country, to enable an even and prmpt distribution of the very cheap floating feed, fingerlings and other benefits of the association to members to benefit ,but to me ,i still believe non members can still benefit in all areas.This will be worked out as we progress.
5,No matter how small your fish farm is , it does not matter, Every body is allowed to join irrespective of farm size .ALL benefits will be equal .
Please criticism are allowed but let it be constructive criticism , that will help us improve , grow and successful, Though i still find it difficult to understand how something that has not even started can be criticised with some such bitter wards ....at least let give the benefit of doubt and allow the proposed association to start first then you can be free to criticise the association of its short comings ,because i personally believe that constructive criticism in life help to further improve our potential in life.
And as for track records , you dont need to be 100 years in the business to have track records , quality speaks for itself , Some of us have break grounds in different fields of aquaculture , Some of us have been a member of a team that successfully designed the first almost zero electricity recycle systems used comercially, first of its kind in the world, and we are proud of our achievements . Some of us have been offered mouth watering offers by publishers to come up with books under there company name ,INNOVATIONS IN AQUAPONICS , HYDROPONICS , GELATIN FEEDS ; BIO GAS - making gas and electricity from animals, poultry and fish waste .... Introduction of first fresh water shrimp hatchery in Nigeria , polyculture of shrimp and tilapia raising them to table size with zero cost of feeding in 4 months and lots more ,,,We are ready to shear all this info with our dear colleagues .
Most especially, i believe no great thing comes easily , we never promised a smooth ride all through without hitches and we never promised miracles, but in as much as : there must be rivers to cross , mountains to climb , fences to jump over , journey to walk and so on , but after all we see a bright light at the end of the tunnel , with co operation together and determinations together we shall make it .
In this 2016 lets remove the old cloths of impossible and put on new cloths of possible . A journey of a thousand mile start with a step.
What God has designed can never fail .!!!! THE REVOLUTION 2016 HAS JUST BEGIN !!!!! wishing you all a JOYFUL AND MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!

Talking of feeding regiments sir@ oga Robonski, as a fresher, how do I determine d amount of feed I give to my juvenile or bigger fishes as at when due. Also how many times do I feed them as juveniles or as bigger fish. To be specific let's use 1000 pieces as example. And the pond type is plastic tank if it could make a difference in feeding pattern. Thank you.

Dear Sir. I sent you a message here sometimes last week, but you didn't reply, so I am doing again no and I hope to get a reply from you this time.
I invested over 1 million Naira on raising catfish 2 years ago, but I ran at loss, some of my fishes were stolen and the rest didn't grow well so I quit. But I still feel I did something wrong then, the management was poor, I didn't use good feed, I used some local feed formula I got from a friend and I also had problem with security issue. But recently I aquired some lands and I would still love to invest again on catfish farming, but I don't want to go wrong again, I want to do it right this time, I have passion for farming. Please I would really love to meet or talk to you here on Nairaland or Private chat. Please I don't want to ever mistake again.. Ifedayookunola@yahoo.com

Pls Robonski15 and other ogas in NL, how do I eliminate solids like leftover feeds etc that are not likely to move out with water when water is being changed in a plastic fish tank? Thanks in anticipation of ur assistance

Ifedayour007:

Now I am setting up another farm for catfish cause it's something I have passion for. Please I really need your advice. Is it possible to get training from you online, via email? Please reply me I don't want make another mistake. Ifedayookunola@yahoo.com

@ Robonski15: I have been trying to get your Gelatin feed, but all the distributors within my location (Abraka, Delta State) do not have the pelleted one. How can I order directly? Secondly, please change to contact on the Gelatin Ad to the one you guys pick. I have called the line, 09054672750 more than twenty times without any one answering or returning my calls. Robonski15

vickifeanyi47:

They are dying.. notice their fin and tail is turning whitish in colour including their whole body..I dont know if actually the new tarpaulin might be the cause

robonski15:


Bring them all out and wash the tarpouline with salt, fill in back to about 2 feet and add tetracyclin and chloraphenical.. where is ur location?

vickifeanyi47:

umuahia in abia state...can I also use poultry manure to disinfect the pond? if so how many days? I used salt initially in washing before I put them inside.
