nairamaniac: Hi bro. Its been a while for me with hybrids. Clarias is good for table size, good for melange. Stocking density is much higher with Clarias. Fingerlings Price depends on prevailing market price in your area.. I'm unable to say cos I haven't worked with hybrids for a while now. Your sample pond may hold 500 clarias but less hybrid...can't say much about hybrid My guess is you do not have a farmer-friend yet. Pls find one. Visiting a farm makes the learning process a lot more easy |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by fisher777(m): 3:59pm On Jun 26, 2018 |
Nutase: If I could I would. I'm sorry I haven't identified with any farm there. If you're in FCT Take your time and probably Google it out. If you find one close by you pay them a visit and see what's going on there. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by nairamaniac: 2:53am On Jun 27, 2018 |
fisher777:Thanx boss. This was very helpful. But I actually thot my sample pond (12ft by 10ft by 4ft) would hold more than that 500 clarias. I was thinking It WD hold 800 to be precise. That is; 12×10×4 ÷ 3 = 160. 160 × 5= 800. Those were the calculations I learnt from this thread. Even though I don't know why its divided by 3, and finally multiplied by 5 or 6. WD visit farms more often. |

Hello wonderful farmers,seeing your write-ups about fish farming is encouraging to me. I hope I will be able to start up some day. To all the farmers at isheri-igando, I salute you all. I intend taking strolls around farms someday. I hope I run into a fellow nairalander's farm someday. |

nairamaniac:Try to find out more from the owner of that info...how he/she got the numbers... Am interested to know. Meanwhile, your pond is about 11m²....if we follow their book that stated 20f/m² your pond will take about 250 fishes. The figure i gave is about 80f/m².... 4X what's in the book. Catfish species are not always moving in the water and they do not remain in the water column while resting unlike laterally compressed fishes, They simply lie on the bottom of the pond. You don't want to crowd them in your pond as that could be very detrimental. Proper spacing is good practice in crop production as well as in livestock, the benefits cannot be over emphasised. However, do practice with the 800 and see how it fares... We'll want to read the feedback. Its a learning platform and new stuff is always appreciated |

Please house, help me with good feeding formula for my 3 month old catfish |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by amba2017: 4:42pm On Jun 27, 2018 |
Yinkagbo:is it that they were cannibalized or that they just died? if the former then it is hunger but if later, then it is infection or poor water management |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by mekd: 5:14am On Jun 29, 2018 |
planetfood:Thanks |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by cbnobia: 9:52am On Jun 29, 2018 |
Thank you planetfood for your response.My hatchery set up has peculiar challenges. It was poorly designed for siphoning wastes. The floor of the pond is at ground level and therefore no gradient for water levels between it and the receiver of the wastes.Removing the wastes is therefore only possible with suctioning, which is very tedious. The mosquito larva I collect is not enough to feed all the fry and I therefore have to supplement their nutrition with more of aqualis fry which unfortunately causes more pollution .I would be grateful if you could teach me how to culture and maintain daphnia or Monia for constant supply on live feed. Many thanks in anticipation. |

cbnobia:pls contact @ttooppee he posted this some day ago What is it use for when the eggs have hatched, the baby brine shrimps can be fed live to catfish fries. there is nothing like over feeding ,uneaten shrimps will keep moving until the fries eats them. They are high in protein, ranging from 55% to 60% protein, supporting rapid weight gain in fries |
