The answer is yes.

The guy who introduced me into fish in herited his father's 6 rooms "face me I face you" house. He started by setting tiny ponds around the fence, graduated to creating pond at the only available space at the back yard. In January this year he evicted a tenant and converted the room to a pond (about 10 ft by 10ft). In July he evicted another tenant and constructed another pond in the room space. In September he evicted the 3rd tenant and did broilers. He occupies 2 rooms and have a tenant. Do you the that tenant will survive next year in that house?

His reasons:

His tenants pay N2,000 a month and its not regular
2000 *12 = 24,000.

He stocks 1000 table size and sells at about 2kg within 6 months makes about 150,000
150,000 * 2 cycles =N300,000.

According to him he makes about N300,000 for the same space.

I hope that answers your inquiry.

Warning: this is a live scenerio but I won't encourage you to evict your tenants for fish oo.

Merry Christmas all

Thanks dear. What type of pond did he construct? Did he leave the roof of the house or did he remove the roof?

Thanks one again.

Are u sure of d dimension of d pond? It cant be d right dimension sir. 120ft by 60ft is a full plot of land!
If ur source feeds d juveniles well and dey attain d same size as d previous ones u stocked, YES you can add dem. I av done such several times wtout consequences. Its just like u sorted dem and added dem to another pond.

#sort out the dimension of ur pond first and dnt over stock d fishes. Its better to av 500 fishes dat will grow very well dan to av 1000 fishes with stunted growth.

Feel it up as much as d tank will take wtout it over flowing or d fishes coming out over d edge easily. 1000L tank is small and wont take more dan a maximum of 150 adult fishes.
Instead of buying 10 tanks which are expensive, why not use the money to construct wooden tarpaulin ponds. It will cost u less and u will be able to accommodate more fishes.

thanks for your advice,i stay in karu axis of abuja,pls can you kindly give me the cost of making the tarpaulin pond of 10*10 ft or that can 500 to 1000 pices.
i will appreciate any contact in the house that can be of help.
merry xmas to you all,God bless

Good day my fellow fish farmers. Its about that time of the year when most of us want to stock fingerlings/Juveniles. My advice for us, is not to fall prey to "Runts" suppliers. Endeavour to stock good seed. Contact us to book for Quality fingerlings/Juveniles. Tnx
