Hi to everyone, fellow and prospective fish farmers Truly catfish business can be a very lucrative one. but only when you get the fundamentals right. The kind of fish you stock are as important as any other factors in fish farming. when you get your fingerlings from a poor source, you might experience challenges like the fish not growing as fast as they should, some start dying (mortality) immediately they are stocked. this causes wreckage to ones investment. So that's why we at Aroyfarms have made it our goal and sole aim to breed the healthiest and the most active growing fingerlings and juveniles to make your investment worthwhile. For your quality fingerlings, post and juvenile. Call Aroyewun Ayoola S 08136096946, 08171814006 Aroyfarms |

My brothers and sisters.... If you are calling yourself a fish farmer at any level and you are not keeping a comprehensive record.... You are a Father Christmas. We are all still learning if by chance you are here and you don't have farm records or you don't even no what to keep.... Just quote me so that I will no I'm communicating with someone when I proffer the solution. Note:don't mind my grammar fishes don't speak 7 Likes |

james87871: @ James87871. Do you mean poultry birds feed? Can you please throw more light on the poultry meal and feather meal and result after use. Thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Eumaca: 12:38pm On Sep 09, 2017 |
A fish buyer told me that the reason for drop in fish price is because of those people that use fattener. They sell cheaper than normal. I want to ask how the farmers can deal with this situation. Here in Portharcourt. I heard they come all the way from south west with big and cheap fish. We are running at a loss here ooo 2 Likes |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by james87871: 6:58am On Sep 10, 2017 |
Poultry birds feed is quietly differ from poultry meal and feather meal the result is okay i use the poultry meal in high percentage. For example 35%poultry meal and 5 % feather meal and some times 30% poultry meal and 10 % feather meal though I start after 2 and half to 3 month .since I don't see trusted 72 % fish meal and yoyo is very scarce to see uyijob: |

Good day all and happy sunday....it still baffles me when people thinks farming is not profitable....I said repeatedly that Nigeria population is more of a blessing than a curse..... Nigeria is indeed a big market, going round sunday market today in ogba agege, Lagos...it was amazing seeing the Asian dominating the market....where are Nigerians....? I posted on all my group requesting for anyone with melange.....���no one so far....it simply implies we are all out of stock (demand) or we are just online farmers....��� 3 Likes |

OmoOshodi: It beats me why sales price of fish has stubbornly refused to respond to market forces viz production costs esp. We're presently in our second experimental season of fish production & available records stipulates not selling below 800/kg for fish raised entirely on formulated feeds (local & foreign). Meanwhile,we're being offered 500-550/Kg for fishes btw 1-over 2kg. Even our 1st production sold in Feb @#730-800. Now we've like 3tonnes of fish with no ready buyers. D rains have subsided even here in Delta state & still prices hasn't recovered. It's really frustrating |

It will also guide you to ur success Never say it's still a little biz.. Those big business you are looking to today started with this kind of laid down structures More to come 4 Likes |

OmoOshodi: Thanks bro. We're still @learning phase & also just doing this on part-time basis for now. Hopefully, with time & more experiences we'd graduate to that level. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by OmoOshodi(m): 8:21pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
Abuzay2r:if you want to make profit and still keep health intact.... Don't go for 100%oven dry..... Construct local stove(aro) with mud and get mesh to place on top it... After drying with fire wood then you can now move to the oven for perfection.... With that your mind will be at rest ... Don't allow any buyers to dictate how you sell your fish for you. If you don't have oven complete it on the local stove and smile to the bank 1 Like |

First off, big ups to everyone who has contributed immensely here, especially our ever available tutors. I was asleep now I am awake. To d point, I came across dz abandoned fish pond, belongs to a man who is outta town bt says I could use it since it's idle. However there are cracks on d walls, it seems to v been poorly fixed, I already called a bricklayer to come check it out nd as assures it can be fixed, I wana ask if anyone here has had such problems in d past and is it quite possible to permanently fix dz cracks. I just wana b double sure. You input would be highly appreciated. Thank u (pictures attached) Cc robonski15,excelsiorfarm,ttalk,OmoOshodi. (
