Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:03pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
[quote author=Hormohtoondeh post=46971597][/quote]is your weather cold & what are you afraid off,how do you reach your 3weeks you mentioned. Temperature influences timing,but if your water is turning milky,then not healthy for the eggs,how many hours now?,i would advice you use a touch or flash light to look through the net,irrespective of the timing,it is impossible for the eggs to hatch at the same time,if only 24-26 hours some should/could have started to hatch. Dont lose hope,i had waited more than 34 hours before |

excelsiorfarm:Thanks a lot God will bless you big oooooo. I manipulated my way to d two weeks plus I did initially but lost all d fries. I am trying to take to all precautions now so that history willnt repeat itself again They came out really well Removed d net after 30 hrs, although some hatched eggs got stuck to d net but didn't want to polute d water so I removed them too Still applying flow through. Please when best can I change d water, was told not to change it tomorow because of stress but shld only apply flow through Nd can den change it on Wednesday My water is still kind of brown cos of d rain |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 11:07pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
aoladayo:that should be 2,553 litres,what number did you stock my brother & how much feed(kilogram) have they consume? from there we could know what happen really,but i wont fault any to declare if runt or not,though growth looks slow. lets examine what you have done,so hopefully we could learn from it |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 11:28pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:LETS GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY. Amen to d prayer.Next time,in order to maximize all, you have buckets or containers that isn't black/brown so that when you remove from the main vat,u put your nets in them & they will hatching provided d eggs are okay.If water is changing colour,u reintroduce into another.Though stressful,but at times u get good numbers in thousands |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Hormohtoondeh(f): 11:41pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
excelsiorfarm:Thanks bro. Wohhhh I tot d bad eggs will contaminate d good ones dats y I didn't bother myself Please is it advisable to leave changing Nd cleaning of d VAT till Wednesday Nd not tomorow because of stress to d newly hatched fries |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 11:42pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:my sister i dont want to stress u,but after i had removed my nets,what i do is transfer the nets into buckets,containers as mentioned earlier & back to the main vat where they were hatched initially,i change d water.How?i already have various hose sizes 4 siphoning water at every stage,even till juvenile.This technique takes experience,observe d first day,more |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 11:50pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:it is fresh water you put them into,that is y i wrote that if u see d water changing,whether getting milky or looking foam,you transfer d nets into another fresh water containers. Dont be in hurry to clean,wednesday not bad,but bless your fries with fresh water. They need all d oxygen they can get from water to survive,especially their early stage,which is from now |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Hormohtoondeh(f): 11:55pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
excelsiorfarm:Thanks a lot Hope covering them tightly and closing does not mean depleting d oxygen |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 12:00am On Jun 28, 2016 |
excelsiorfarm:more than 90% of your fries will be wriggling or dancing at d bottom of d vat( after some good hours,they will begin to move or swim around). That time they are down, i normally use a hose to drain more than 80% of the water(i didnt learn it in a day). use the technique you are use to for this ones. Then i replace with fresh water & still continue flow through or dripping method. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 12:07am On Jun 28, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:u can cover,it is even advisable to generate some warmth,because oxygen is low in water at night.Let some place,so if water oxygen goes abnormal,there can be some atmospheric oxygen entry into d pond. ABOVE ALL DONT FORGET THE PLACE OF PRAYER,GOD BLESS & good night |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Hormohtoondeh(f): 12:13am On Jun 28, 2016 |

I have 4ponds 10x3x3, 5x3x3, 3x3x3, 5x3x3ft Stocked 500 fishes all together Feeding so far 2mm(half bag=7.5kg) 3mm coppens(2bags=30kg) they are current about finishing the last bag I believe I have very good water management as I change the water by flow thru almost when the water is a bit dirty or not clear and most night if I have light I do flow through for long hours before I sleep excelsiorfarm: |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by shakurkings(m): 3:49pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
Hello, fish farmers in the house. I've been an adept follower of this thread for some time now and I've finally decided to venture into this business. presently I'm in the planning stage and I'm writing a business plan. I need to incorporate the cost of feeding into my plan. Can anyone please give a detailed analysis of the cost of feeding from fingerlings to maturity. God bless you as you do so. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aoladayo(m): 4:05pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
I have read so much on this thread still reading though and have talked and chat with so many pro farmer and experienced one about the feeding and I have finally come up with the math to Calc the total num of feeds. To achieve a table size average of 1kg each X=(Nos of fises x 1000G)/15kg X=number of bags of feeds assuming u intend to use floating feeds all thru So multiply X with the current or projected market price of each bag(note prices varies according to size and manufacturer) My oga in the house Pls attest or ammendment on my response shakurkings: |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by somafol: 5:04pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
Farmers in the house, Let's do an analysis, there are two farmers, one used vital feed all through and the other used coppens all through. Will the result of the harvest be the same? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:15pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
pearlyfish:AMEN. LETS GIVE GOD ALL GLORY |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:19pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
somafol:Depends on who is at both end. Though it is expected that the one using coppens should do better,but not always the case. 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by shakurkings(m): 5:24pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
Thank you very much. You've been helpful. Got almost the same cost I estimated from my feasibility study. God bless. please are there other suggestions? So i can compare figures aoladayo: |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:41pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
aoladayo:i wont condemn or justify your management,neither will i condemn or justify the breeder or his/her fingerlings or juveniles u bought,but let me give u mine observation from d data you gave.If u have a bit experience,using 12litres for each fish,to grow out,your pond will contain 488.If u have only used 37.5kg,if they are all 100g,your fishes haven't done 2 badly.Next time dont be in hurry to skip 2mm(lot for young fishes to gain from that school).Fish farming is beyond releasing & putting water,read the rhythm of your fishes,it differs from batch to batch,place to place |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by gloriousfarms: 5:51pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
Evening mentors, please I have a little question concerning buying of Fingerlings, I want to buy 6000pcs of Fingerlings from 3 different places, it is possible for me to combine the fingerlings together? i.e. 3000pcs in pond A and another 3000pcs in pond B. Note: I read in one of post here that you should not add fish from another farm to you farm. Thanks, your quick response will be highly appreciated. |
