| Is Catfish Farming Profitable? |

Definitely YES!! But this answer applies only to those who have the knowledge of how to raise catfish profitably. Unfortunately many people interested in the business don’t have the required knowledge; they think it’s an all-comer’s affair where all you need to do is buy fingerlings or juveniles, put them in fish ponds, feed them as is convenient for you and after a while, sell and smile all the way to the bank. Nothing is farther from the truth than that. Most new comers have no idea what to take into consideration when buying plastic fish tanks or constructing wooden or concrete fish ponds so it doesn’t collapse or leak. When buying fingerlings or juveniles, they have no idea what signs to look out for so they don’t get it wrong from day 1, which if they do, they will only be finding out 5 months later, by which time 70% of their investment had gone down the drain. Most don't have a local feed formular that is good, so they ignorantly accept cheap alternatives not knowing that fishes don’t forgive when you feed them wrongly – they will take the feed (even rush it) yet they won’t grow if the feed lack essential ingredients. New comers know nothing about what constitute a bad water environment, yet nothing kills fish faster than bad water – even lack of food does not kill, but bad water does. New comers know nothing about what to do when their fishes are sick; and when they're finally ready to sell, they are mostly at the mercy of just 1 or 2 exploitative buyers!!
