olaolu89: Do you check the PH of the water? Do you store the water in tank before using it in the pond or you pump direct into the pond? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by ubreeze(m): 10:54pm On Apr 06, 2017 |
Hello guys, i just joined this thread yesterday and trying to read everything is going to take a while before i get answers. I am a newbie in fish farming. I stocked my ponds with 1500 fingerlings and i have been feeding them with Coppens (N12,800 per bag over here). The fishes are 1 month and 3 weeks in the pond and feeding them is getting really expensive. I swapped to SARB feed (N10,000) and I feed them 3 times daily. They are eating 1 bag in 3 days right now, it is still expensive. I am feeding them 3mm, about to move to 4mm. Please house, kindly assist with the following concerns: 1. I want to swap to Nigerian feed and I have been hearing a lot about Vital feed in this forum but its not readily available here. Is Topfeed a good or better option? 2. I want to start feeding them twice a day, is this okay? If it is okay, what times shd the feeding be done. 3. I heard someone talking about weighing the quantity of feed before giving to the feed, pls what is ur advice on this? 4. Currently my workers use their hands while sorting the fish, is this a good practice or there is a better way. I am in Uyo/Eket in Akwa Ibom state, is there anyone in this forum who has a farm around me? I would love to learn from that person practically. I will very much appreciate any advice or contribution. |

ubreeze:Top feed is good. I tink u can sort d fishes with ur hands. Feeding them 2 times daily is good, but, if d fishes r still about 1 month nd below, den 3 times daily is better. U don't weigh d quantity of the feed, u just feed dem till dey r satiated, dats is u feed dem till dey stop eating. But u ll av to b observant not to over feed dem, so dat d water won't get polluted. 1 Like |

stan4b: Thanks bro, please one last question. How do you improve the oxygen content of the pond. I don't know where to buy an aerator in Nigeria and what type. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by stan4b(m): 1:24pm On Apr 07, 2017 |
ubreeze:Don't kip ur water for too long b4 changing it, or if u av d means, constant flow tru is very ok. Borehole water is much more ok, but, make sure d borehole water is kept in d tank for a little while b4 pumping it into d pond. Dats d little I know. As for d aerator, I don't know much about it. Call on d Gurus in d house to help u with dat. 2 Likes |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by bilag17(m): 3:17pm On Apr 09, 2017 |
olaolu89:As others had rightly pointed it out, the vat water is expected to be very clear. Milky water is an indication of pollution, the level you cannot ascertain, the effect of which usually result in hatchlings mortality 3,4, or 5 days after hatching. Once hatching starts, monitor the water, except in cases where you have bigger facility to manage the pollution for optimal hatch. 1 Like |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Nobody: 8:43am On Apr 12, 2017 |
Star30:No sir, it is not possible to treat water which comes directly from it's natural source. the water has to pass through water treatment plants and filtration plants before going to the reservoir or where it's needed thanks. |
