Please, say something if you have knowledge of catfish production. Thanks. |

Olofin2:Yes It also depends on the following reasons The population of the catfish The size of the catfish The breed of the catfish If you're unfeeding them at least give them enough maggots or animals Caracas |

Mraphel: I'm currently feeding them once in two days because I'm short of cash now. But they eat to fill whole of their gut. Can they still lose weight like this? |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Mraphel: 4:59pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
Olofin2:Give me the estimate of their population. If they're less than 200 two days it's OK but more than that will cause the stunted growth |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 5:01pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
Mraphel: 500 each in two bigger ponds. |

The big ones will start eating the smaller ones yet they will be underfed |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Unclekayfarms: 5:03pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
Olofin2:That's a lot bro...if they're up to six months sell them |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 5:05pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
Unclekayfarms: Two months after stocking juveniles. |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 5:07pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
Unclekayfarms: Please, someone said I should not let them be very big before selling them. He said there is no market for very big catfish at the moment. Is it true? |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Unclekayfarms: 5:12pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
Olofin2:Untrue If you're in d state capital...the bigger ones are more profitable especially when is more than a year The price ranges from 2500 to 3000 per KG 2 Likes |

Olofin2:Sell them off after a moth |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 5:19pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
Unclekayfarms: Thanks. I will sell them after a month. They look big already. I'm using only floating feeds. |

@olofin2 1. Why did you stock fish that you cannot feed? It's like planning to fail, even from on set. 2. Where is your location? 3. Which feed are you using? 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 11:22pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
bilag17: I planned to borrow from bank while I keep using my salary to buy feed. Other things later started gulping the salary. I'm in Oyo town I started with Aller Aqua 0.9mm, 2mm, 3mm blue crown, now I'm using 4mm echo float. |

Olofin2: What a hitch in your planning strategy? In fish farming, it's better when you have sufficient feeds because "No feed, No Gain". The feeds you've been using are good. Prioritize your expenses and look for a feed mill around the town, to compound feed. This may be of help to a certain extent, and you would have learnt something new. In every adversity, there's a lesson. The big fishes will become bigger, eating the small ones because of insufficient feed. |

Olofin2:Look for azola seed and plant it in your pond..catfish love eating azola |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by ademola1333(m): 2:34pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Olofin2:I am presently in Oyo town too. You can cut cost by making pellets for them locally. |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 3:13pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Mraphel: Please, enumerate how to plant it if you have successfully made it before sir. I don't want to rely on Google. Thanks |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 3:21pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
ademola1333: I made pellets the other time. Without lysine and methionine, I spent 250 naira per kg. If I use those two, that will be around 300 per kg. Echo float is 300 naira per kg. What do you suggest bro? |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Mraphel: 3:22pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Olofin2: Google "azolla for catfish" Catfish love eating azolla and it will make them big but you don't need stop feeding. Then visit this link cause I'm not a good writer https://www.nairaland.com/4240009/how-successfully-cultivate-azolla-animals |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Mraphel: 3:23pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
After planting azola I will suggest you leave them for about a year for maximum profit |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 3:26pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Mraphel:Thanks bro. |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by ademola1333(m): 4:06pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Olofin2:How many grams on the average are the fishes now? |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 4:11pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
ademola1333: About 300 gram now. |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by ademola1333(m): 4:17pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
Olofin2:You can make a good and balanced formula suitable for them in Oyo at #250 or lesser per kilo. I will tell you where to source the materials cheaply. |
Re: Can Underfed Catfish In Earthen Pond Lose Weight? by Olofin2(m): 4:28pm On Aug 04, 2020 |
ademola1333: bestermill44 @ gmail. com Please, describe the place for me and and give me the formula. Thanks. Please reach me through the email. Thanks. |
