Dear Mr. Emmanuel,
effects on tropical catfish will not differ significantly form the effects achieved in tilapia. All those fish have a monogastric digestive system and have therefore a similar digestion. Current studies in Asian catfish (Pangasius) in Vietnam showed strong effects of potassium diformate on weight gain as well on improved FCR and survival rates, thus showing an overall improved fish productivity under commercial circumstances. As of now we are also testing the product in African catfish. Let us know your contact details and we can send you an update once that trial has been finished.
