Hello all is it true that all coppens product in the market are fake product, since 3 months ago. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Star30: 9:56pm On Aug 29, 2016 |
Reason for my question above, I bought 3000 ijebu fingerlings on the first day of stocking 425 died, we disnfected them with Tetracycline chlorophenicle and salt, second day 150 died before feeding tthem with coppens 0.5mm third day 68 died, 4th day 53 died although the supplier promised to replace all the dead after one week, my question now is is it possible that the feed could be killing them according to the seller dat all coppens feed in the mkt since 3months are fake. The area am confused is dat they ve have been dieing b4 feeding. Pls help |

Still waiting for name and price of the pumping machine, sir[/quote] The name is SUNSUN and it's from China, different pumping capacity at different depth. The wattage varies from 100w to 400w. I have some on the way, don't know how reliable they but I willing to find out. Please, can anyone confirm that TOPFEED catfish feeds and reliable compared to other popular feeds in the market? Cheers. |

Star30:i cant confirm if all is fake,but with the high price of dollar to naira,there is great temptation for crafty people to produce such. Also note that the breeder wont want to take the blame. It is also important to state that in your bid to be smart in buying ijebu,many do outsmart themselves by the consequence. In whichever way,you learnt something. |

Sunnysteve009:Iam not selling anything presently,except services or time(laugh). Juvenile(REAL) cant be more than N25-35. The number of bags,depends on your breed,feed mgt & health of fish. Envisage between 350-420 for one, could be less or slightly more,depending on the factors stated earlier. so my country man, it varies from individual to individual,from stock to stock,but you could set a range to be on safe side. Hence if someone tells you it is 10naira at least,but 30naira at most,better keep the 30 & if at the end you spend 14naira,it aids your profit. Many will keep 10 & discover later that it is not enough & later endup in crisis. That is why many project die & many are in trouble with banks & their creditors. All the Best. 2 Likes |

Star30: I doubt if its the feed that caused the mortality, its rare to see a fake 0.5 mm coppens, more so the first day of stocking 425 died, u rightly said you did not feed them which is a red flag, its either they died due to transportation stress, or the buyer sold sickly seeds to you another might be you water, maybe too acidic or PH is high. Are they stable now? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 5:32pm On Aug 30, 2016 |
zanyzara: Bros there are other good feed out there like, skretting, aller aqua, aquamax, multi feed, zeigler. visit your nearest dealer in your location to know which feed is readily available and their prices.. |

Please, the Gurus in the House, kindly tell me the steps to take before introducing my Catfish into an Earthen Pond. Thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 6:33pm On Sep 01, 2016 |
Rotentina:having treated the pond & all in good condition, lower the fishes preferable at a corner of the pond,dont be in a hurry to feed(there will be some food like plantons) Or take some of your pond water & add to the fishes before introduction to the main pond. there is no rigid sequence,the most essential is that you dont throw the fishes anyhow into the pond. it applies to all pond type 1 Like |
