Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 4:55pm On Oct 07, 2016 |
Preshivano01:thank God you have a positive report to inspire others.For your hatchery start small, 1 male 1female to produce,when you successfully hatch(if you have the knowhow,or we could explain),then the mgt of your fries could be what you could possibly relate with farmers on the thread. You succeed through the process,you have D confidence to re-do Until you are vast through your own experiences. Alternatively meet a breeder that is producing minimally from 5000-10,000 monthly(MINIMALLY) i.e 60-120k yrly.Anyone doing less will not be the best to learn from,if you are paying.All the best. 2 Likes |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 4:50pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
Hello gurus Please I want to start fish farming on a very small scale using a 1,000 ltrs white tank and I have the following questions: 1.Do plastic tanks need to be disinfected with blagdon anti fungai and bacteria before stocking or is washing with warm water and salt enough ? 2.What size of feed should one start to feed fingerlings with or juvenile as some have stated that it's better for a first timer to start with stocking juveniles. 3.Can the multivitamins and aquapro be administered before stocking the pond even if the fishes are not sick? Thanks |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:22pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
Guestartiste:4 your 1000litres, stock 70 max cos u are starting.Aquapro can be applied with multivitamin even to healthy fishes.Be careful that d multivitamin isn't 2 concentrated to avoid pollution.Blagdon is better,but if you know how to wash well & rinse thoroughly with water,no challenge,but not soda. Size of feed depend on fish size & what they could easily pick or use breeder last size,juvenile better |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 5:25pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
excelsiorfarm:just fingerlings can be Okay,provided you aint sold tiny fishes. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 6:50pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
excelsiorfarm: Thanks for the response but let me bother you once again. Do you advise that I stock 70 because I'm just starting or because more fishes won't do well in the tank cos someone told me I can rear 200-250 fishes there (the 4 litres to one fish calculation)-don't know how realistic it is though. Thanks once again. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 7:05pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
Guestartiste:200-250 fishes for 1000litres to 1kg? i wont say the person is wrong,but it wont work whether under flow through also. And if it is the breeder,dont mind him/her. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Preshivano01(m): 7:21pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
excelsiorfarm:tnks alot. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 7:51pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
excelsiorfarm: Not to 1kg sir About 0.4 or 0.5 smoking size Cos he also said it takes longer to get 1kg in plastic pond unlike if its an earthen or concrete pond which will lead to spending more on feeds Sorry about my "them say them say" attitude o |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 10:37pm On Oct 08, 2016 |
Guestartiste:that size should be okay with good water mgt. Earthen is the suppose best,others growth depends on area surface,water volume, feed,mgt etc. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 2:16pm On Oct 09, 2016 |
Guestartiste:sister,iam in school presently for a PG program in south west,not oyo or lagos. As i posted not long ago that i am not producing now,though i stay at ashi-bodija. Another thing is i dont sell such few numbers if iam producing,i rather give to encourage those interested to start something(though Nigeria had change now & the weight of such generousity might not be easy in times as this.). Also ibadan isn't too big for me to reach anywhere when it is planned. I had seen some on the thread in ibadan here,you could possibly reach them.I believe they wont do anything that could result in problems.Also manage the fishes well to avoid passing blame on any. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 2:19pm On Oct 09, 2016 |
Please if you have good fingerlings/juveniles in ibadan,please post your area & number for interested buyer,thanks |
