gloriousfarms:you can combine,but not wise to do it immediately.It will help u know who you should not buy from in future. Preferably dont. And why start with 6000 if you can still ask this question?have you weighed all variables,cost of feeding(even now) etc. Dont let any breeder push you down the cliff with sweet words 2 Likes |

Thanks boss, I notice there are smaller ones amongst them they do take d 3mm like others but not certain abt that, can i sort them out and revisit 2mm most of my fish especially the big ones are around 100g but that's majorly the bigger ones I didn't weigh all I just picked a few randomly and weigh them last weekend Another question their length and weight do they commensurate because I have some smaller ones with weight equaly compared to a bigger one Thanks excelsiorfarm: |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 8:13pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
aoladayo:i am not your boss.Sort d smaller ones somewhere,revisit feeding them with 2mm then add aquapro with livestovit to their diet.After 2-3weeks lets get a feedback. Any that refuses 2 show significant improvement,will definitely be a liability.Length is what we call facial or face validity,that one is good for a buyer that wont bother to weigh(mostly big men),but who most farmers deal with are market women,general/average naija,its weight that matters & that is called content validity.Also species differ |

Good evening. Kindly help a new farmer. My fishes are 1month 19days and I have been feeding them with 2mm Coppens (2bags ) and durante (1bag). 1) Can I start feeding with 3mm (because my 2mm has finished (tonight)? 2) At what month can I change to local feed ( I want to smoke the fishes) ? 3) Plz I need formula for local feed for fingerlings? 4) Can I sort the smaller ones from the bigger ones? I have not done the random weight since am smoking them Thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aoladayo(m): 8:39pm On Jun 28, 2016 |
Thank you sir I will do that and get back, though there were some that I had been treating some small ones that I sought for assistance on the thread 2weeks ago, I used salt, tetracycline, livetovit, and even one fish booster, they just didn't change or improve. I'm cutting off attempt on them. Will sort those ones and resume 2mm for them. Thanks for the guide... God bless you big excelsiorfarm: |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 5:02pm On Jun 29, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh: As long as they are "jumping up" like you said the fries are OK. At this stage they lay at the bottom of the vat and at the corners. They will start swimming around the 5th or 6th day without hassles.. I know u are nervous but dont be opening the vat every seconds, continue your flow thru and just observe them once in a while.

excelsiorfarm:Is it advisable for me to be changing the water every morning or I can be skipping a day. Thanks and good morning |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 12:29pm On Jun 30, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:if you have water,why not.Dont allow your outlet to have high pressure,it will only crush your fries to death,though love using the hose technique |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by NUVEMBARZINTL(m): 7:57pm On Jun 30, 2016 |
Hormohtoondeh:It depend on your stocking density. Though of a truth, REGULARLY CHANGE OF WATER IS HYGIENIC TO YOUR FISH HEALTH & GROWTH but I'll advice that if the pond isn't overcrowded, you dnt have to change ur water everyday EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE ACCESS TO WATER because the cost of changing of water will TELL ON YOUR PROFIT at the end of the day unless you are operating a recirculatory system. Wishing you all the very best!!! |
