condi1704: please how much per one. can u send to Ibadan if I want to buy. what is the minimum quantity u can sell. can u differenciate by sex. and how old are they be sincere.
@Condi1704, like i said before price varies pending on quantity you are ordering & your Location. Talking about sincerity, pure hetero is almost impossible to predict its exact age. Cos they are reproduced in the wild.

@Fhemmy this specie is not Clarias or Hetero-Clarias. This is pure hetero, we get it from the wild. Price varies pending on the quantity you are ordering. Lastly if proper practices are adhered to, Pure hetero sp. Growth is unlimited & Amazing. My : 08054621673, 08022557145. Tnx

Absolutely!!! The growth rate is amazing indeed, it is the specie that is mostly caught at argungu festival, if you check the back of a #50 naira note hetero is held up.

Please I have a question, maybe someone has asked it but I'll still like to know. I'm sorry I couldn't read through the whole 99pages of the thread but I will. So the question is Why don't Nigerians invest in other fish farming, like Tilapia, shrimp,oyster, salmon. I googled it and found that it's possible. For me, catfish don tire me

well like I said it was just a brIef reading I did online. I don't know why those fishes are not reared here. And like I read, there are fish hatchery and tHey get millions of fingering that they sometimes turn them into the open sea. Pple buy it cheap there rear them like we do catfish and so these fishes are cheap and easy to come buy. Imagine having Shrimp and Salmon around as common as catfish
