Thanks to you all for your support to far. You all have being a source of encouragement to me. Please, some ogas in the house should help me on the step by step approach in preparing/ processing a tasty and well spiced smoked catfish. I will be commencing production of packaged dried fish but only had little experience on how to prepare the smoked fish. All suggestion and advice is welcomed. Love you all. |

aoladayo: Ur question is not very clear but if u mean changing to another feed brand, then there is no problem at all with that. N. B. I use topfeed too, its okay. There is no 'best' feed out there. |

Thanks you have answered my question that's what I meant exactly, much appreciation Secondly I sorted my fish tonight and just a few are smaller seems not to be eating and growing like other and they are too few to take a whole pond so I improvised as shown in the picture below Pls kindly advice or comment on this I am hoping to keep them and feed them for 1-2wks in this situation hoping they will improve before I return them to the fold.

First be patient and get a notepad as u read thru the thread there is a wealth of information I am certain if u are patient and willing u would start up safely and we'll, and can draw up you Financials, in other ways if you are actually been scared or careful of making a mistake I have seen some people share contacts on helping to construct pond or can even help u with the startup and guide u till you are good to go. But read well browse more, take notes and don't rush into it, baby steps first. Fish business is lucrative but can be disastrous if careless with it. Oga did I speak well....? advancedw1: |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by item4biz: 2:20pm On Jun 17, 2016 |
@Oladayo, well done. One thing is fishes don't grow equally. You have done well in sorting them out. Please how did you treat your pond before stocking? Did you fertilise it with chicken manure before stocking too? Thank you. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 3:58pm On Jun 17, 2016 |
I greet everyone, I'm still reading through this thread but so far it has been quiet helpful. Is there anybody who is into this in a large scale here in abuja? I've got the funds, I really need guidance. thanks. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:20pm On Jun 17, 2016 |
Vikings007:next time you write,you dont shout or showcase you have funds. It helps. My advice as usual,start reasonably, dont cut corners,if you need to pay for seminar or consultancy,do. Abuja is a good market. Visit fish market around gwarinpa/life camp,it could inspire you,but be patience. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:32pm On Jun 17, 2016 |
godwinufi68:Be careful how you play with salt,especially with small fishes. It depends on the pond size,a few tablet/capsule of tetracyline would do the job. And buying aquapro would safe you many hazzle,and aid growth |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by cleavon(m): 5:58pm On Jun 17, 2016 |
noblefarm: Please can u drain out the water after 7days or u just stock directly. |

Hello House, I urgently need help with tips on how to switch from floating to sinking feed. What are the precautions to take and pitfalls to avoid when using sinking feed? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aoladayo(m): 9:37pm On Jun 17, 2016 |
Yes I did with chicken manure for 3days and washed with water and foam only, then soak for 48hra before refilling with water and stocking item4biz: |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by item4biz: 12:09am On Jun 18, 2016 |
aoladayo: Thank you for the response. Washed with water and foam? I thought the pics of your pond I saw is an eathen pond? I am making enquiries on the eathen pond not concrete. OHH, am sorry I took another poster for you. Thanks all the same. The poster is omisakint. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by miqos02(m): 5:40am On Jun 18, 2016 |
yomiknows:starve the fishes for at least 24hrs, then introduce the feed to them in bits, u will know when they are satisfied becos their initial rushing for the feed will reduce after a while |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by yomiknows: 6:46am On Jun 18, 2016 |
@miqos02 - Many thanks miqos02: |

stephanienwa: You might loose them pls remove them asap transfer them to another pond or back to the tank. apply pottasium permangate and tetracyclin asap..wash the tampauline properly with salt solution and leave for some days. rinse with clean water..same happened to me when my fishes were post juvenile's... |
