Dear All,

In view of our future plans of culturing Pangas, we are having discussions with a few Poultry feed manufacturers with a possibility of manufacturing floating feed for us, even though most of the ingredients i.e. rice bran, fish meal, meat and bone meal, soybean, mustard oil cake etc are available including large quantities of trash fish – but according to the feed manufacturers the cost of one off requirement would be expensive.

In view of the above we are planning to initially use farm made feed with the above ingredients and a good binder make small palettes for broadcasting – this method of feeding will contaminate the water and to reduce this contamination has any body tried to use common carps @ 30-40 per acre to keep the bottom of the pond clean?

Has any one in the past used this type of combination in the past and with what success?

In case this fish is aggressive and may compete with Pangas – which other bottom feeder could be used – recommended?

Comments would be appreciated.

Thanking you,

Dear Sir,

We have been constantly reviewing the various forums on your site, have pasted some questions etc as we are planning to start commercial culture of Pangas in Pakistan.

In the second para of this article Culture of Pangasius spp you have also included Pakistan where pangas is being cultured? could you please inform me when was the import made and from where? and in which farm in Sindh or Punjab (the main aquaculture Provinces of Pakistan) is this fish being commercially cultured with name and contact no of the farm?

We have come to know that for a pilot project some fry of Pangas and red talipia have been imported very recently for cage culture – but are not at all being commercially cultured.

Your comments – reply would be very much appreciated

Dear Sirs:

It possible to use framed canvas as culture tank for the grow-out of pangasius? What is the right percentage of mixture using the commercial feeds with the kuhol as subtitute feeding.
