abescom: No there means... No tag on the percentage. It could be less, it could be higher. You have to do your best to minimize it as possible by starting with a healthy and uniform sized juvenile or - fingerling if you're a pro, next sort after the first month of stocking if you notice much size variation..otherwise sort about once every two months. Feed them well lest they start thinking of feeding on other things... You kno na. If you use locally formulated feed make sure the source is reliable There's quite a good number of garbage out there. Make sure the water is good always to avoid disease outbreak. Protect your pond from predators. If you use earthen pond do not expect to have accurate mortality record. Some fishes after being eaten by fellow party members the bony head only is left and it gets buried in the mud and subsequently decays...it could also be one party member completely swallowed another ...your missing fishes. Ask more if you wish to know I'll try to answer as much as I can 1 Like |

aizy06:. Attach yourself to a successful mentor visit farms and see how it goes learn and while you're learning you'll figure out how much feeds how many till whenever... My opinion from experience |

kingpaddysfarm: Hello.... Actually my emphasis is to visit other people's farms once in a while to learn new things, things we might be doing wrongly or what we could do differently. The way I used to do my sorting was quite different and not as effective as theirs. Now I have adopted it. Pls I'm not saying this to teach us how to sort or new methods of sorting. I believe my point is clear now. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by fisher777(m): 5:16pm On May 17, 2018 |
aragon4realz:First step is to start with a good stock of seed...this you get from a reliable producer or you produce them yourself. Next step is to make sure the environment of the fish is optimum....adequate biomass -,sorting and splitting reduces disease outbreaks, cannibalism and stunted growth due to overcrowding,- clean water, uniform/almost uniform sized fish, control exposure to sunlight and heat especially when they're still small . Another thing to consider is the feed you use. Be sure to start of with a good quality starter feed (those little guys need the best available start you can give as it will go a long way to determine your mortality and performance)....mind u they're usually expensive. Midway switch to a less cost feed and keep it so till they're ready for market... Alternatively, near to enter semi final you may switch to what some friends call local feed...but be sure you get it from a reliable source as there are quite some chaff out there. Also, If you can find a regular supply of adequate quantity of animal viscera or maggot you have won the lottery. 3 Likes |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by fisher777(m): 7:29am On May 18, 2018 |
aragon4realz: Which feed brand have you been using since you stocked? What size of feed do they eat currently? What is the average size (length, weight) of the fish? Although you said they're almost two months old, did you stock as fingerlings, post fingerlings, or juveniles? Do you plan to sell as table size or melange? |

chilanfarms: Bros when the oxygen level in the water is being used up rapidly, how would it be replenished when you cover it up with palm oil or chicken oil? you have rightly said the issue is a drop in oxygen, so isn't the solution an air pump to pump in more oxygen? |
