Hi everyone and masters, I have an issue here, my 8 weeks cat fish in a concrete pond have not been showing so much interest in eating. I initially thought it was the water even though I constantly drain it slightly and refill little by little. And on saturdays I drain it down, not completely and refill. In the past few days they have all been placing their heads in upright position and not showing so much interest in the food. Though some of them stomach looks like they ate. The challenge i have is that the local feed i am giving them is a sinking feed, so I cannot tell if they eat beneath th.e water, but what was obtainable before, once i start feeding, they all come rushing down |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Adeymorla(m): 3:21pm On Dec 14, 2016 |
kart042000: I suspect they have a bacteria infection. However try giving them a little floating feed to check their response. Also if you can look closely at them, observe if there are whitish colourations on their bodies or if they have white whiskers. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by kart042000(m): 6:06pm On Dec 14, 2016 |
Adeymorla: Some had white coloration, i saw a dead one, whiskers and eyes already turned white.In total saw 3 dead fishes, two where at the base and one floating. I was advised by a friend into the business to drain the water to a low level and add 4 covers of bottled water formalin into a full big custard bucket with water. And i should sprinkle half container with salt in a small custard bowl and leave them for 3hours. He advised i dont feed them till tomorrow morning. I am open to criticism if this is wrong. I recently added dry almond leaves into the pond, i read it boosts their immune system... |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Adeymorla(m): 6:26pm On Dec 14, 2016 |
kart042000: From your explanation, the fishes have bacteria infection. The water you are using is the problem. What you should do is to drain the water to 1/4 of the pond and get aquaceril. Empty one pack and leave for 24 hrs. Afterwards drain the water and add another and leave for another 24hrs, slowly introduce feed, not too much. One the third day add another but make the pond water at half tank. Lemme know how it goes. Please don't use formalin. It is too strong and will most definitely kill the fish. I'm talking from experience. Drain and refill water in the afternoons only. Use borehole water 1 Like 1 Share |

Adeymorla: Fishes have been kept in the pond before using same well water. I will get the aquaceril tomorrow and give it a try. Thanks in advance |

Adeymorla: Before I received the reply I already did the salt and formalin mix, I didnt give them food yesterday, waited till this morning by 11am. They rushed the food, and I observed some still have white whiskers and white patches on them. Do you suggest I still go ahead with the aquaceril or I should be patient. Secondly after applying the aquaceril, are you saying they wont eat for 3days? Or what will be the feeding pattern whilst treating them? What floating feed can you recommend and how frequently do I feed them? |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Adeymorla(m): 1:43pm On Dec 15, 2016 |
kart042000: You should give the aquaceril to kill the bacteria. On their skin and in their blood because they will drink the water. The Aquaceril will cause the white patches on their skin to disappear. You will treat them for 3 days the way I previously explained; half water drain for 3 days. Stop the water drain and mix the Aquaceril with their feed until the white patches disappear. This could take 1 to 2 weeks. As per feeding. If you can get skreting or aquafeed, use it. Feed Once for the three days. Feed twice after then. Because of the quantity of aquaceril you will need , after three days treating with aquaceril buy OTC. it's sold per kilogramme. You can use that to treat them after day 3. Mix with their feed. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by amyzon: 2:57pm On Dec 20, 2016 |
I'm experiencing a very strange situation in my farm. All of a sudden my fishes became so restless. They lost their appetite for food and even when they come to eat splashes a bucket load of water on my face and body. Mortality rate? Zero. No strange colouration on their skin either and the pond ( tarpaulin) is covered.This has been going on for more than 3 wks now. I've doubled the multivitamin I put in their feed to no avail. I've really run out of options. They are between 120g- 600g in different ponds and are not overstocked. NB: its not from the feed either because my new stock are eating the same food and eating it very well and relaxed. Please help a sister. Thanks in anticipation. 1 Like |
