Abdoul04: Pls anyone with any idea on how to treat such? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 6:28pm On Oct 10, 2017 |
Abdoul04:That could be a fungi infection.drain the water if possible treat the pond as well with antifungal drugs. Salt and otc also work at half of one foot for 3day without feeding. Refill the pond to normal level before commencement of feeding. To avoid future occurrence avoid overfeeding |

Emmafly: Na wa oo.. seems how much/quantity to feed is very important cause it affects cost of production and also the health of the fishes.. dis issue should be address so newbies like me and others can know how much/quantity to feed .. tnx |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by duullie88(m): 7:37pm On Oct 10, 2017 |
Ttalk: Overfeeding : does this refer to the intervals/hours spent before fishes are fed(feeding time) .. cos it is said that fishes should be fed to satisfaction , I feel overfeeding occurs if feeding intervals r short.. bt I stand to b corrected sir.. thank u |

barby008: My first reaction...can you manage an earthen pond...how experience are you.... Second, how many fish are you stocking and what stage.... Third....their are many geological consideration in earthen pond unlike others...especially with respect to soil......that soil looks silty to me...not sure though...it may have implications on fish sight...however, if you must treat your earthen pond, I will suggest....poultry droppings and liming..I wonder why the use of formalin....I can't just understand who keeps suggesting this...... 1 Like |

duullie88: Feeding to satiation is what the book say but practical experience thought me to underfeed. The only condition to feed to satiation is when using recycling system and 95% of us don't have such facilities. 5 'conditions could result in overfeeding 1. Short interval less than 6-8 hours interval 2.Frequent feeding 3. Inappropriate use of size of feed 4. Poor feeding and water method / management 5. Quality of feed |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Emmafly(m): 7:15pm On Oct 11, 2017 |
Abdoul04: good day. your pond size and stocking density doesn't correlate at all though don't know your fish size. and how often do you feed daily and change their water weekly. also how often do u sort your fish cos you are talking of cannibalism. I concur with what ttalk have advised. I don't know him but he has given you an advise consultants will charge you dearly for. pls ttalk conclude with the dosage as i am more used to herbs. pls update the house after three days. |

Fish4wealth:well spoken |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 8:29pm On Oct 11, 2017 |
Abdoul04: I always have problem in answering some questions reason is that people asking questions fail to give statistics of their pond and fish thereby making it difficult for appropriate response. The best treatment for fungi infection is formalin bath for 10 to 30 minutes depending on the impact of the infection. However I would not recommend that because it requires experience for its application. Others use bladgon again you have to be very careful. However the use of salt can be very effective at the right dosage. I have once used ampiclus (spelling) together with the feed with good result |

Ttalk: Thanks for ur response, but I already quoted my pond statistics but I will do again.. 10 by 12 ft pond 1100 one month old fishes. so pls help with d dosage. U mention formalin and bladgon, pls share more light. If am to use ampiclox,whats d dosage and how do I apply it? Thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 12:03pm On Oct 13, 2017 |
Abdoul04: Unless you have experienced person on ground that would guide you don't use formalin. As for treatment using salt and otc 1 kg of salt and 1500 naira worth of otc in half feet of water for 3hours. Ampiclous becham 2 capule mix in every feeding session for three day If there option for washing the pond better |

the Lagos and Ogun farmers meeting has been postponed. this is as a result of inadequate representation of farmers to come for the meeting as scheduled. another date will be chosen by the farmers in the house to enable proper representation. 1 Like |

Do you own a catfish farm in Lagos metropolis precisely or you are into catfish smoking using mainly firewood method.....I need a weekly supply of 55kg fresh melange or 30kg non-degutted smoked catfish......average weight while fresh should be between 270g-300g and after smoking 100g-120g.....Any interested farmer should whatsapp 081..537...016...13 (AgroWealth)..... |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Fish4wealth: 8:58am On Oct 16, 2017 |
snnaija: Catfish will eat almost anything in water but its not worth it giving them boiled rice..... Foaming is inadequate dissolved oxygen and it occurs mostly when you pack them in a chocked space...other foaming might be as a result of feed introduced.... Bubbles are mostly sign of perspiration in demand for food....it potents no great danger, once seen...feed your fish a little more 1 Like |
