How to hatch catfish-Very easy step

The process of hatching catfish can be very simple and also difficult if proper care and maintenance, please follow the simple instruction given below.


1) Get a matured male and female broad stock catfish
2) Induce the female catfish and leave for 12hrs
3) Stripping the egg of the female catfish


1) GET A MALE AND FEMALE BROAD STOCK CATFISH
This step will be explained in a lay man language and for easy practical doing; I promise you that if you follow this step you will be a successful catfish farmer. To get a mature female and male catfish for hatching, it must be above 10months to a year, and the way to identify it is through the egg. The egg can be brown or green; it can also be identify through the head of the catfish.



2) INJECTING THE FEMALE CATFISH
When injecting the female catfish it must be beside the belly, and rob where the needle is being penetrated so that the drug cannot come out or settle in just that area where you inject it, the name of the drug is called ova prim. After inducing the female catfish, separate both by removing the male catfish to a separate pond. After inducing the female catfish leave her a separate large plastic and pour a little water into the pond and cover it for 10hour to12hours.
NB: the whole process should be in the evening to enable the female catfish relax very well.


3) STRIPPING THE EGG OUT OF THE FEMALE CATFISH 
After the duration of 10-12 hours, GENTLY strip out the eggs from the Female catfish with your hands into a bowl. After doing that, you will need to dissect the male catfish to remove the sperm, then squeeze the white substance out from the sperm bag and pour it into the bowl containing the eggs, then steer gently to mix it together and then add a little water then steer it together and gently pour out the water. Use a plastic spoon and gently put the eggs on the floating net inside the already prepared fish pond. Cover the pond and leave for 24hrs you’ll observe some movement at the bottom of the pond.


With this explanation I believe you will be able to practicalize this and see thing for yourself
