First bring out all the fish and wash the pond thoroughly, pump water back in to two feet, if you can lay your hands on blagdon anti fungai and bacteria or malachite green, if not use tetracyclin and chloraphenical with salt. They should be fine

Well done Mr. Excelsior. Salute to a super moderator, peacemaker and fish-farmer emeritus.
On many occasions your maturity and selflessness has kept this thread alive even more than the op. Some selfish ones would have preferred to start their thread.
Coming back to this thread and reading your contributions gives me hope in the goodness that lies within Nigeria and Africa at large.
Hmmmm. My bible says peacemakers shall inherit the earth. May your days be long and happy Mr Excelsior. Least I forgot Goodluck in your Academic pursuit. God bless you sir.

stan4b:

Thanks a lot Sir. I have tried my best to get melacchite green and blagdon but all to no avail. I even travelled to Ibadan to get them some weeks ago but all I got were oxy-furavit, fish biotic and livestovit and formalin. Can I use formalin pls?

All4good:

Well done Robonski. Well done and God bless you for still rendering help to unknown people via this thread 3 years after. God shall prosper your enterprise.

Thanks a lot. I have really learnt so much here. Please I have a challenge. I am a first timer in the fish pond thing. My fishes Are 3 month old.

When I started, i was changing water once in two weeks cos the water wasn't even smelling annd the fishes were comfortable.

After one month, I decided to roof the pond with zink and chicken net. Since then, I now change water every 4 days cos of the offensive smell that disturb the next compound where I stay.

So I want to know if it's the roofing that has caused this problem or do fishes normally Smell this way?

Thanks please I will appreciate your response sir

robonski15:


I remember we had a chat on whatsapp, first of all wash the pond thoroughly the picture of the pond you sent to me showed the pond is too dirty, increasing your water level a bit to give the fishes more space. More so stop throwing the feed on all four corners of the pond it pollutes the water hence the smell and also reduces dissolve oxygen. Apply spot feeding choose a particular spot to feed the feed. Am pretty sure the offensive smell will reduce drastically. Cheers boss

Hi fellow farmers, its no secret that the recent increase in fuel price will affect every aspect of our lives and operating costs of our farms. Its high time we up our game in terms of price of catfish on our farms. I don't think its a taboo for catfish price to increase because it really baffles me that price of fish has remained virtually constant for years despite the fact the fish feed and other operating costs have constantly been on the rise.
#We should start selling our catfish of 800g and above for N550 - N600 per kilo, while fish below 800g sold for N500 per kilo.
If we all pass the word around and we can be strict on our farms, we should be able to increase the farmgate price of fish. Nothing is impossible and catfish farmers even if on small scale level should be able to live as comfortably as their counterparts with white collar jobs

N. B. Increasing the farmgate price of fish is just one way to alleviate the high operating costs in recent times. We should also look inwards and try to reduce our operating costs in all aspects.

Can anyone please tell me where I can get these tanks from. Somwhere around south west will be more convienent. want to expnd my hatchery since i had a succesful hatchey and harvest.

playbrain1089:
If that can be done we can now think of having one uniform price in the sector,inrespective of the prices of fish feed or location.It will also help 2reduce quack from the sector 'internet fish farmers'that can not differentiate a male clarias gariepinus(catfish) from the female,just because they want fast money will be feeding on gullible citizens just 2extort them,thereby bringing d fishery sector 2disrepute.
