This is a technical Q&A thread where a beginner asks about stocking density for catfish in a 200-liter drum. Experienced farmers debate the viability of using drums versus larger tanks or earthen ponds, offering specific numbers for fingerlings versus table-size fish while discussing water depth, surface area, and the importance of reducing feed costs through alternatives like Azolla.
Prices:
drum: NGN1000.0 (implied)tank: NGN1000.0 (implied)
Credibility signals:
citing specific stocking densities (e.g., 30-35 fish, 100 fingerlings)suggesting alternative equipment like Geepee tanksproviding technical advice on water depth and surface area
“Since your aim is table size, 15 -20 fish could fit in there.”
“You don vex for this early momo”
“None. And that's the simple truth.”

This is a technical discussion thread where experienced aquaculture farmers debate the optimal stocking density for table-sized catfish in drums versus ponds. The conversation covers specific feeding strategies, the efficacy of Azolla as a feed supplement, and the trade-offs between using overhead poultry for waste recycling versus space efficiency.

“FYI, catfish do not utilize high-fiber plants; ie. Azolla, etc as efficiently as animal-based protein sources”
“The Azolla, _SERVER['HTTPS'], etc ain't for complete feed replacement but to grately cut down feed costs.”
“5pcs of live catfish table size with regular changing of water(morning & nite) because of feeding.”
