matrixme: how big are the frogs? do you mean the water in the pool cant be drained. I seem not to understand your last question "How frequent can the frogs feed and what can I do?". Can you show us some pictures and share more on how you plan to raise the fishes. Thanks |

Good evening sirs. pls my fish are dying daily. I hav lost 25 catfish in two days. am very sure is bacteria infection, because they die with a swollen stomach. and they are already four months old.. what should I do pls.. what drugs will I get for them. pls respond ASAP. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by matrixme(m): 5:18pm On Apr 13, 2016 |
robonski15:Many thanks sir. Here is the pics... I meant the pool can be drained externally by pumping machine but there is already a healthy plankton bloom in the disused pool. So I am thinking to drain such large water because of four frogs might not be worth it. Two are as big as a clenched fist and others are a little small. What do you advise sir? |

soft77:I know this might sound funny, but how does a new farmer like me recognise a runt when I see one? Also how long does it take a fry to grow into fingerling and a fingerling to a juvenile. Precisely I want to know exactly when one can start suspecting if once fishes are runts in d process of growing. Thanks |

remros2: industrial waste |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ab1x: 10:47am On Apr 14, 2016 |
remros2: You can use salt to treat fish at any age but you have to be careful about the quantity of salt to use in treating them and that solely depends on the size of the pond. |

matrixme:Note :even juveniles will be eaten by frogs. That u see 4 does not make them 4, at night if u visit,u will understand better(if not safe i don't encourage u going). Possible solution- pump out d water, lime d ponds, it will destroy every possible threat,but now that it seems we are in rainy season,pump out d water, verify if no hidden holes in your ponds & if such,try to put a stick through,but i hope no snake surface from it(laugh), when sure no frogs in it, immediately net your ponds with nets that have good holes i.e. not big holes. Then introduce whatever u want to. 1 Like |

Oga Ab1x, your final feed for weigh gain always contain broiler starter, since broiler starter is majorly made up of soybean and corn, what is the essence of broiler starter since your formula has certain percentage of soybean and corn?. Why not just increase the percentage of these feedstuff and to save cost? 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 4:49pm On Apr 14, 2016 |
matrixme: Chairman sir, i will also advice you drain the water from the pool, and lime it.. you cant just stock fishes in there without proper preparation of the pond.. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 5:05pm On Apr 14, 2016 |

To all the Guru's in the house, please kindly assist. I have a new proposed site for fish farming and I intend to construct earthen ponds. 1. Please, for a pond of 2000 capacity what’s the dimension that can hold them to table size? 2. How many fish per square meter 3. What is the spacing between each pond? The land is not swampy but when you dig to 12 foot, water comes from the ground to fill the pond. Please, what’s the best way to design the pond? Thanks 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 6:43pm On Apr 14, 2016 |
biyibd:many say recirculatory, but what most do is just pumping water from one pond to another & back. A real recirculatory will re use the same quantity of water over a long time,but little introduction of water if there are losses in water due to evaporation. The system should have a biofilter that filtrate waste, remove nitrogen ,makes d water clean again & fixes fresh oxygen into d water. It is not static, dynamic i.e. motion is continual & will only be successfully achieve when light is constant, u are using a solar or have ideas to power d system. With this 60-75% volume of water in an ordinary system will serve the recirculatory successfully |

Ttalk: I would have advise people to opt for broiler finisher to reduce cost and to increase weight but on a second thought the broiler starter has more fish meal which hitherto will boast the feeding habit, weight and acceptability of the feed. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 7:08pm On Apr 14, 2016 |
wilbro:my concept would have being to use this your water source to service ponds that are dug not as deep as your 12 feets.My reasons 1.)you don't over labour your fishes when they come to feed,food that would have aid faster growth will be wasted on physical efforts 2.)Harvest will be a bit difficult,though not impossible 3.) drainage design will be difficult, still not impossible i.e. you can pump out. 4.)don't go & fall into a 12 feet pond,get a life jacket handy.other ?,read thru d thread,visit agricnetwork |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 7:18pm On Apr 14, 2016 |

[quote author=mozek24 post=44482292] Thanks for the info. I have tried different confusing accounting methods for fish mgt without achieving accurate result. Pls can you or anyone else in the house give us a proper format for good book keeping and accounting records for effective fish farming and management. Good evening guys, The above request was made over a week ago and no response yet. Are we saying there's no accounting standards or principle in fish farming? If yes, this may account for the low response for loan request and other benefits as farmers seems to "do anyhow". Pls if you have idea on accounting for fish farm, kindly share. Thank you |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by wilbro: 8:29pm On Apr 14, 2016 |
excelsiorfarm: Thanks for your reply Boss man. The design of the earthen ponds depth will be 3ft to 4ft but I am just thinking if its possible to dig a big pit where water comes from the ground. Then the water will be channel to the earthen ponds. all waste water will be passed to the river. I am addicted to this thread from its birth boss man and also I have an existing farm with concrete tanks. Thanks for the tip. Just to ask, how many fish per meter square is stocked in earthen ponds to get the best weight gain or result. ![]() |
