Good morning sirs... I am of the notion that treatment shouldn't be given to the fishes until we see a death or two which I think it isn't wise enough. What drugs can one give to the fishes maybe on a daily, weekly or monthly basis to prevent them against any infection which may lead to death. Thanks. |

At what time of the day is advisable to change water in the fish pond |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 1:26pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
omisakint:funny brother,you have a notion,yet you still ask for treatment. Let me not say much, get aquapro & livestovit. If the feed quality is deficient,vitamin C. Maybe doctors in the house could educate us what treatment is. |

@Omisakint, pls is your pond located near a swampy area? I dug two pond of about two feet and we did not meet water. Thinking of piping it and running from the bore hole will waste water as it will be draining the water. I have asked them to make it deeper like four feet so see if will will meet water cos it's on the island where water is. Please all gurus advise. Thanks. @Excelsiorfarm, I see you oo. Pls help with this. Thanks. Pumppie, I see you too. All the gurus pls help. Note: I want to bag it round. |

gratiaeo:Necessity dictates, though some might same at cool of the day,others when the sun is fair,but necessity counts. Will your water that you observe to be polluted & your fishes hanging due to high ammonia or low oxygen that you normally change in the morning,but now you are in the afternoon/evening wait till morning of the following day before you change water? if that is the case,just know that by then......... |

omisakint:prevention they say is better than cure and this also aplly to catfish. However most catfish diseases are opportunistic. Hence u must ensure good management practise by feeding regularly and adequately to avoid nutritional diseases. Also always maintain good water quality. Having said this, u can apply drugs and some chemicals as prophylaxis as u like maybe daily or weekly. D most common chemical u can use is common salt. Apart from killing some disease organism it stimulate fish appetite and improves resistance to handling. U can also use antibîtocs like chloraphenicol, oxytetracycline, procain penicillin, aquaceryl and fishbiotic. They can be added to feed or into their water. U can also use chemicals like pottasium permanganate, formalin and malachite green but be careful not to overdose for all d drugs and chemicals. Use only as recommended. I hope this helps? Regards. N:b I didnt talk about aquapro and livstovite before some will say we are marketing for d producers...na joke oh. but trust me this too are equally important . |

Please can I avoid to use flow through when hatching. Rain fell yesterday nd d colour of our well water has changed to brown. I AV very little water in my tank, thinking of not using flow through Pls wil I get a successful production Urgent replies please AV laid my eggs since 8am dis morning |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 1:51pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
olubankemi:2ft isn't enough 2 make a conclusion,but what could be assume is that though a swampy location as you said,d water table/air pore allowing water isnt close to ground surface.Let the diggers reach your suppose 4 feet,if same result,i wouldnt really encourage that spot,maybe try another,because there is tendency that it could b a stagnant pond & i dont really encourage too deep a pond for safety purposes.As u come dey c me now,u b monitoring spirit? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by pumppie: 2:05pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:as long ás u don't over crowd d eggs in the vats u are fine. Its better to still get something out of this set than risking with a compromised water all in d name of flow through. Regards |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 2:05pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:hmmmmm, had same experiences before & let me give you ideas i used,i bought a 50 litre pierce it a little,i mean LITTLE & place it over d hatchery tank,i had to drive to fetch the water from another locality,very stressful. Another time i used the brown water & continued my flow through,after about a day,it settled,but lot of work for separating spoilt eggs,dead fries etc. Another case i didnt do any flow through,because of d condition on ground. The truth is some was successful,some failed. Flowthrough is important for high success |

Hormohtoondeh:for you to had reach the third week shows you are as good to be successful in hatchery business,get aquapro & be using it(it is important to state it clearly to everyone that i dont have any form of relationship with the makers of this product). You will come back & testify.Wherever you get confuse,you can post here,if school work doesn't make me available,lots of gurus could assist. Also watch the feeding at this time,if possible give them flowthrough. Your testimony shall come. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Hormohtoondeh(f): 2:53pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
excelsiorfarm:Amen nd God bless yu real big It's kind of relieving aving som1 to answer my questns Pls at wot stage shld I start applying d Aqua pro and is it advisable to be changing d water alone without cleaning d VAT Learnt cleaning d VAT might be a disturbance to d newly hatched fries |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by omisakint: 3:06pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
pumppie: What else do you I want? Thanks for your input. God bless you for us 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 3:13pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:others 2 lend a helping hand by answering,i could also say it is like shifting duty in the hospital. u might not have me here tomorrow,others takeover & otherwise. Though not planned.u have to clean,those slime on d vat is a good reason many fishes are lost. For aquapro,a week after they start eating is okay,small quantity. I do clean mine using a washed & disinfected foam.When i clean i dont disturb them,they even run from d foam,but i make sure that i use a gliding technique to do the job.I make sure there is no room beneath the foam for any fish 2 go under & i dont lift my hand(with experience u could device a means that suit u best).Since u said 3wks,it is easier,Amen 2 d prayer |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Hormohtoondeh(f): 3:19pm On Jun 26, 2016 |

excelsiorfarm: Lol, I said which I think isn't wise enough. I will get those tomorrow. Thanks a lot bro |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 3:28pm On Jun 26, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:i am not the op here, we are only supporting strikers. Dont worry i understand women, i am happily married. Not the quantity,but quality.I pray everything goes great,Amen. For future purposes, not allow the water height to be too much/high,though not applicable to hatchlings,but applicable from 4-5days,because they have to go up for oxygen |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 3:31pm On Jun 26, 2016 |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aoladayo(m): 1:51am On Jun 27, 2016 |
Pls a short concern as a new farmer to be cleared with assistance please, I have a 6weeks old Catfish sorted into 2ponds (300/200) their average size as at the last time I sort them is about 100g and some don't feed well especially the 200set, Their lengths are like 5-8inch and I have identified some few ones I'm about concluding to be runts as they just refuse to grow.. Are these normal or smaller for their size N. B. I bought them at post fingerlings stage 7wks old

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 3:05am On Jun 27, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:initially all the oxygen are/is gotten from the water,but when they start feeding,aside the oxygen in the water,the fishes come upward to get oxygen from the air at times(depending on oxygen concentration). Since you are already getting to 3 weeks,all this wouldnt be a limiting factor for you,but if your water height is too much for your young fingerlings,it could result to mortality in some cases. |
