komakan: Well said Komakan! We should make conscious efforts not to over promise especially at start up because that automatically means delivering less. When your customers lose money because of your incompetence/ lack of planning/ your not keeping to your promises, there wont be repeat business. It is always better to start out small and grow organically than to claim big (overestimating your capacity) and struggle to keep up. Good luck Belusconi! |

robonski15:Thanks bro, I have being observing your works and want to say well done bro, commendable. For the other guy I wanted to verify if he/she knew what was written, but the ban didn't allow me to clarify. Though it is possible, but I wanted to see if that op was confident enough to conceive us. I could explain how if ask, but not without the farmer's diligence with investment e.g. 350, 000 post fingerlings/juveniles in 6 months will get you your 5 million when all the facilities is on ground before hand i.e. 120,000 unit production every 8 weeks. condition that he has good brood stocks etc. I didn't want to write off is idea, but just want to see what insight he/she was bringing to the table. Though we learn everyday. WELL DONE BRO |

excelsiorfarm:Hellooo Sir, to be honest with u, i really appreciate ur invaluable analysis here. Please sir, i just want to know, is there an available market in any particular state that can accommodate such high quantity of fish like the 350, 000 fingerlings u talked about? How easy is it for the farmer to dispose that much table size fishes at any particular time ? |

Good afternoon my people, i just want to use this medium to thank selfless member of this forum who have been generous with information to young catfish farmers and i have been tutored by so many of you despite being far apart but your advise has been the light that illuminate the darkness world of fish farming. One of my resolution to produce 50% of my feed by myself this year [2016] has been achieved with the designing of a locally produced grinding and pelletising machine that i now use to produce my rich pelletised feed. The 2 in 1 diesel machine uses one motor to drive the grinding as well as the pelletising machine and it has been very efficient. My thanks goes to our professor in feed formulation, our amiable Ab1x for his contribution and advice on feed formula. I am very proud to announce that my 2mm feed with 40% fishmeal, 45% animal protein and 54.7 crude protein is less expensive compare to coppens 2mm. It is an eye opener that our local feeds if well formulated is far richer than the so called foreign feeds. Mr Robonski, Soft777, Oga excellesoir, Chilanfarm, Komakan, Phemmy, Mecylicious, Billy and my respectable Nuvemberz, you are wonderful people, you have driven the passion to take calculated risk into our lives and we would not disappoint you. Thank you all 5 Likes

I'm just getting in touch with this tread this morning, i was overwhelm, captivated and motivated also rejuvenated the long dead plans in me on this particular topic. It clears all that negative thought 'investors always loss in fish farming', you are dishing out what many will be hiding or asking for money or un-necessary attention b4 giving out, plus physical, psychology and emotional assistance, haaa! Just too short of word, i pray that may God in His infinite mercy shower his blessings, grant you good health and spare your lives for greatness. Weldone op and the great minds that dishing out un-restricted info. Bt i noticed i missed alot, 227 pages! Where to locate those feed formulation, calculation of number of fish to be in a pond and the rest, how i wish i could get those stuff. |

excelsiorfarm: Thank you very much sir i appreciate, we also commend your great advice on this thread.. you are very correct sir but to be honest how many farmers can stock 350,000 fingerlings/juvenile at a go.. well his idea might be feasible but he needs to provide more statistics on how to achieve it.. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:25pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
denis217:sir if we consider d weather,we will not do exploits.Though presently am in school,just do a bit of assistance when needed & i consider d timing suitable for my focus. 350,000 Fingerlings in 6months isn't too much, the question is can you produce & manage it successfully without selling poor seeds. Another question will be, are you prepared from the beginning,do you have d broodstockS,cash,space & water.if good product, a little referral from your clients & all will be sold.The farm i mentioned in ogbomoso(designed by d german) use to produce 70,000-100,000 fingerlings monthly, they only do growout & not enough |

excelsiorfarm:Zartech sells between 18-30 tonnes of fresh catfish every week with people coming from lagos & it environ,to as far as port harcourt,even abuja & beyond to ibadan to purchase from them. Showing that there's always room, if you can meet d desired quality & quantity |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:56pm On Apr 20, 2016 |
robonski15:my bro, the 350,000 is even for someone that is only into postfingerlings/juveniles production i.e. N15 by 350,000 in 6Months. To stock that much for grow out, that means d individual or company is loaded, heavily loaded. The bro/sis feasibility might not be ok or could be ok, but even from either, i always feel there's a take away. Though i am patiently waiting for his/her statistics, you know man should learn daily or become old |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by letty05: 1:05pm On Apr 21, 2016 |
Thanks to our great farmers for the info they av made available to us(newbies). Pls I need advise/help. U stocked post fingerlings in March(trampoline pond),Three days ago, I noticed their antenna started shrinking and turning a bit whitish, since then, there has been great mortality,up till now. I had to transfer them to an empty pond, yet there's still mortality. I used fish biotic, salt, aquaceryl.but it hasn't stopped. The pond of 2000 is almost empty.what can I do? Pls help..... |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 3:05pm On Apr 21, 2016 |
letty05: Sorry about that, use oxytetracycline and salt to treat them, they'll be fine. Drain the water, add fresh water to one feet then add mixed tetracycline into the pond. leave for about 2-3hours then fill your water to normal level. You can repeat after 3-4 four days |

robonski15:Though I haven’t seen the report you guys are talking about neither do I know this guy but yes 5m even in maximum 3months is possible with mélange fish farming. 60,000 fingerlings to be feed with #3,960,000 to attain average weight of 400g will give you a total of 24,000kg (800baf) and a gross return of #10,320,000 if u sell at #430/kg. Cost of fingerlings and feeding (excluding miscellaneous) amounts to #4,560,000 Profit= #5,760,000 |

chilanfarms:i already discussed with those handling their sales, and i don't need to work anywhere to know what is happening there. If i want to know something, i go meet with those i know have d info, i don't stay at d gate. Since you are in ibadan , verify, go on their sales day tuesday & thursday or find out if any changes & just observe a day sales. Come back & report, it seems somewhere it is mentioned u have integrity, hence we expect honest report. Any one can take up a sales day & come back & report or discuss with those making d sales or a step further, talk with d lebanese or is it indian overseeing marketing of d fishes. The quantity might be more, that is d figure i got & a day off to inspire u on any of their sales won't be much sacrifice, especially to get a first hand info that could widen ones horizon that more can be done & that market is available. 1 Like |
