@@gregosuma am an intending catfish farmer setting up Gods grace b4 the forth quarter, and your videos have been a good guide and motivation and looking to always learn and grow from your wealth of experience and information
Good day Mr Greg I am impressed with what you have just said. Please sir I want you to help me with this questions. 1. I want to start fish farming. I have been thinking the side of tapoline that will contain 500 pieces. 2. As a bigginer what size will I buy, I mean do buy fingaline or something bigger than that 3. I noticed that some of this tapoline are 4ft while some are 3ft Asin height does it have any effect. Please sir, still give me name of foreign feed if I will start with fingaline and local feed name when they get to eat up to 2mm.
Very informative indeed. Thank you. Are you able to advise the recommended stocking densities for each stage (fingerlings, juveniles, table size etc.) of the fish per 1,000 litre tank? I heard you recommend 70 table size pieces for a 1,000 litre. What about when they are in the other stages?
Nice video.....my fishes are 4 months now ( 4 thousand fishes) costing too much money to feed them twice a day but scared they will get hungry and eat each other.... Any advice..thanks
Mr. Greg, I must say your informations have been very helpful for skeptics like me. My name is Martins a keen follower of ur channel posting for the first-time ,I am intending on using tarpaulin tanks for production. I would be happy if you put me through the steps involved in stocking with a tarpaulin tank. Are they similar to those involved in concrete and earthen ponds? What is your source of water pls, can I use borehole? Thanks in anticipation.
I will tell you exactly what I do in my farm. I use borehole water directly, new tarpaulin tanks are thoroughly washed with salt, left empty for a day, filled with water the next day, then I stock. After harvest I prepare my tanks again with salt and stock.
Thanks Sir , i am still waiting for a video about hatchery necessary things and feed we need to do hatchery, i really want to fish farm but we dont have hatchery in my town . I am from guinee conakry
thank you so much for this information. i was adviced to feed my catfish twice a day, but i got another advice that it was a bad move, that it should be 3 times. anyway i continued feeding them twice a day. can you suggest a local feed that is good for them? thank you. my catfish is 4 months now.
Thanks in a million for your explanation. I want to start, I can say I am lucky to co come across to you, thank you sir. I have few questions to ask as a bigginer: 1. I want to use tapoline. They 4ft height and 3ft height, 4ft is costly for me, so want to ask if there's problem using 3ft. 2. I want to start with 500 pieces what size of tapoline will enter it, I want to go for 8 by 9ft then height 3ft. 3. As a bigginer what stage will you like me to start with, I mean can I start with fingaline 4. The name of foreign feed I will start with. 5. How will I make the tapoline ready to use when I bring it home. Thank you sir, please help me.
Mr. Greg, thank you for your highly informative videos. Where are you based? Would you be available to assist in setting up this facility in an NGO establishment in Ogun State.?
Good job sir. I am listen u from Burkina and i would like u to talk about tilapia too.... which is the best feed.....that's what i am farming.... thank u
Sir thanks so much with this, but there is something I would want you to explain and how many food or kg of food of consumption daily to ascertain the amount of money to spend. If you don't know the amount of food they eat a day , a week and a month , your explanation won't help. Thanks
Thank you Sir for this educative video, please I can see the video was posted 2 years ago considering drastic change in price of things does the analysis of 280,000 naira for 1,000 fish to table size still apply in todays market. If no, please what is the current estimate Sir.
No I can't, because I can't be precise due to lots of issues while feeding. But it's better to keep the funds you'll need to breed your fishes to table size, aside.
Thank you sir for the knowledge Sir, please sir I have a question. 1) in my area Kaduna the different between blue crown 4mm and eco float 4mm is #1200 and my fish's will be 4months on 2nd November, should I maintain the blue crown? Or shift to the eco,weight gaining is my target. 2) sir spacing is another challenging I have 6ftby 4fit tapoline how many fishes can it take to table size?..
You can comfortably change to Eco now, though growth will be slightly affected, but it'll be okay. I put 200 to table size in 6*4 tanks, it's your call what you'll like to do.
Good day sir. Please I have a few questions: Is it necessary to plant aquatic plants inside the fish tank for more oxygen? Also, how many table size fish can be contained in the white water tank that is caged round with rods? Thanks so much sir
Sir, Thank you for the video. Average cost of good local feed is now about N400- N500 per Kg. How can one raise 1000 fingerlings to table size (1kg) with N300,000. Please can you shed more light. Thank you.

Like u always say,ur techniques are not cast on Mable...I beg to disagree with that estimate as the price of feed is too expensive! It takes a minimum of 65 bags to raise a thousand fish,let's average a bag to be #7,450 that's for local feed,it gives #485,250 excluding the cost of purchase of fish and running of borehole for the farm...mine isn't cast on Mable either.good job sir

At what time of the day is convenient if you are to feed them once daily
Morning, I feed between 7 and 9
Hello thanks for the tips but can you help with a breakdown of feed to cover up for the 5 month.

Is investing 300k to harvest 600k, that is 300k interest in 6months a good one?

This figure is not the same now for 1000 fingerlings to table size. But the difference won't be that much with proper feeding techniques.
@@gregosuma thanks Sir
Thank you very much sir, can you please throw more light on the total expected bags of feed to be consumed during that period.
No I can't, because I can't be precise due to lots of issues while feeding. But it's better to keep the funds you'll need to breed your fishes to table size, aside.
@@gregosuma ok sir, thanks
Thanks mr. Greg but is it possible to feed fingerlings with rice bran.
I really don't know, I've not done it before.
Thats 4 advice.

Thank you sir for the knowledge Sir, please sir I have a question.
1) in my area Kaduna the different between blue crown 4mm and eco float 4mm is #1200 and my fish's will be 4months on 2nd November, should I maintain the blue crown? Or shift to the eco,weight gaining is my target.
2) sir spacing is another challenging I have 6ftby 4fit tapoline how many fishes can it take to table size?..
You can comfortably change to Eco now, though growth will be slightly affected, but it'll be okay. I put 200 to table size in 6*4 tanks, it's your call what you'll like to do.
Greg how many borehole do you use in your farm ?
Four
Please I need information on the setting up and plumbing
Thanks
For the plumbing, ask a good plumber for that. For setting up, I'll need to know what type of infrastructure you'll want to set up.
Can we use these same step-up for tilapia??
I can't advice on tilapia
sir between tarpaulin and concrete ponds which is more preferable for catfish rearing
Both are great for the job, depends on your particular need. I have addressed this issue in one of my videos.
Good day sir. Please I have a few questions:
Is it necessary to plant aquatic plants inside the fish tank for more oxygen?
Also, how many table size fish can be contained in the white water tank that is caged round with rods? Thanks so much sir
I don't think plants are too needed in the plastic or tarpaulin tanks. I stock 70 pieces to table size in the tank you mean
What can I use to replace animal blood in doing my own feed?
I don't know, I don't make my own feed
Good morning sir, I have asked question before but I did not see my question again and I did not see answer
Am in Ibadan Nigeria,I sow my tarpaulin but is still leaking where can I get where to sow it, thanks sir
I don't were you can do that at Ibadan, I live in Port Harcourt
Please I am waiting for your answer
Sir, Thank you for the video. Average cost of good local feed is now about N400- N500 per Kg. How can one raise 1000 fingerlings to table size (1kg) with N300,000. Please can you shed more light. Thank you.
It's in the video, take time and watch it again.
Good evening sir, which mm should I feed my fish on 4months before I sell them. It will enter 4 months by next week . And I want to harvest it in two weeks time
Feed them six mm
Sir, apart from catfish, what other types of fish can someone go into? I am just thinking of having varieties of fish
I can't advice on that, I do mainly catfish alone.
Sir please that 280 thousand naira is it together with the price of the fingerling or food price only
Just food price alone then, this price is not valid in today's market
OK thanks
And how do you get the right amount of feed for fingerlings and juveniles?
Stop feeding as soon as they're not picking anymore
