100 Catfish Farm setup | Step by Step guide | Backyard Fish Farm

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

You can start a catfish farm right at your home. To setup a small scale catfish farm this is a guide to using a white (1000 Litres tank to achieve this).
Backyard fish farms are a great way to start and learn the ropes of fish farming before you scale up. It also helps in that it is not labour intensive and so can be managed by yourself before you scale up. You would need a tank, source of water, juveniles, feeds and passion.
You might start small but don’t stay small !
I would be here to support you every step of the way. I am committed to supporting 1000 fish farmers across Africa henceforth !

    We change the water once it’s dirty. This might be fewer when the fishes are smaller and increases in frequency as the fish grow bigger. Please don’t even think about buying. It’s like saying a human being should buy Oxygen. It is possible on paper but unrealistic and unsustainable in real life.
