Here’s a step-by-step perfect feeding technique for Pangus (Pangasius) farming so you can maximize growth, reduce feed cost, and avoid water quality problems.



1. Understand Pangus Feeding Stages

Pangus feeding depends on fish size and age.

Stage 1: Fry (up to 5g) → High protein feed, small pellets or powder.

Stage 2: Fingerling (5–50g) → Crumble or small pellets (1–2mm).

Stage 3: Grow-out (50g) → Floating pellets (3–6mm).


2. Feeding Ratio by Body Weight

Feed % decreases as fish grows:

Fish Weight Feed % of Body Weight / Day

1–5g 8–10%
5–50g 6–8%
50–200g 4–6%
200–500g 3–4%
500g 2–2.5%


Example: If you have 1000 kg fish (avg. 500g) → Feed 2.5% of 1000kg = 25 kg feed/day.


3. Number of Feedings Per Day

Fry: 3–4 times/day

Fingerling: 2–3 times/day

Grow-out: 2 times/day (morning & afternoon)



4. Best Feeding Times

Morning: 8–9 AM (after oxygen level rises from photosynthesis)

Afternoon: 4–5 PM
Avoid feeding at night or very early morning — low oxygen can stress fish.



5. Feed Type & Quality

Use floating feed → better observation of consumption, less waste.

Protein level:

Fry: 35–40%

Grow-out: 28–32%


Pellet size increases with fish mouth size.



6. Feeding Technique

1. Select fixed feeding points (2–4 spots for large ponds).


2. Throw feed slowly in a circular motion so all fish can eat.


3. Observe feeding response — reduce feed if fish slow down before 15 min.


4. Never dump all feed at once.



7. Avoid Overfeeding

Signs you’re giving too much:

Feed remains floating after 15 min.

Water turns dark green or smells bad.

Fish come to surface gasping (oxygen drop).



8. Adjust for Weather & Water Quality

Rainy / cloudy days → reduce feed by 20–30%.

Low oxygen (early morning, hot summer afternoons) → skip feeding until aeration.



9. Aeration Support

Install paddlewheel or air blower if stocking 30 fish/m².

Run aerator during feeding to improve oxygen and mixing.



10. Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR)

Target FCR 1.4–1.6 (1.4–1.6 kg feed = 1 kg fish gain).

Keep records: stock weight, feed given, growth rate.

If you want, I can also make you a ready-to-use 6-month Pangus feeding schedule with exact daily feed amounts for different stocking densities so you can just follow it and maximize profit. That would make it almost impossible to overfeed or underfeed.

Do you want me to prepare that?
