[/quote]Hi evryone! Wana ask an important question. My storage tank was left unused 4 like a month after I harvested. I wanted using It again 4 my new production after filling the tank to capacity with water although 2/3 of the tank capacity was occupy with water for that 1month. Filling my pond with d water, I noticed that d water was green. Those it means that enough of oxygen was present or somthing else? I'm kinda confused. D source of the water i§ a borehole nd d said tank i§ alwaiz left open.. Tnx in advance for responses from my fellow farmers.!![/quote]

The problem is too much of algea. Drain the water completely, wash the tank and add fresh water..

The difference in price isn't much.. I will prefer you use collapsible ponds. Is the farm land yours, and how many fishes are u looking to stock?

As long as the farm is yours, i will prefer concrete pond.. A collapsible pond can be costlier than constructing a concrete pond, but if you prefer the collapsible you will need two 15 by 15 collapsible pond to raise 2000 fishes.. Hope you have a good drainage in the area?

Oga Robonski make i put mouth small but u are still my oga at d top sha. cool

#Well if the farm is yours and you are sure you will not have a change of heart after a while maybe due to new construction work on d land or lack of interest in fish farming or other unforseen issues, then you can do your concrete ponds. I dnt really have an idea of how much it will cost to do concrete ponds but with abt 200K, you will be able to do WOODEN TARPAULIN ponds of 28ft×8ft×3.5ft dept to cater for your 2000+ fishes (depending on the water mgt system you are using). The pond doesnt have to be that long, you can do smaller ones (which i recommend) say for instance 22ft×8ft×3.5ft depth and stock according to size.

#collapsible fish ponds are really costly. The one of 40K will only take like 200 adult fishes conveniently. I have one of those.

My Oga, e don tey oo.

Let me quickly respond to your last statement. You can dig/construct an earthen pond on dry ground. What matters is regular water. I have seen it. Just ensure there regular flow of water in and out at same volume.
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by mozek24: 7:40pm On Jun 22, 2015
Guys, pls I have an issue oo. My drainage system is blocked. I use a sink hole/soak away.
What can I use to burn dirt or "potopoto". I've used soda ash and caustic soda to no avail.

This is threatening my biz. Pls advice

SIR, i intend to use a plastic drum with a hole at the base which will be transmitted to ponds through pipes. this drum will be filled occasionaly with water from my neighbours borehole. the pond will have an opening beneath which will drain waste water away. i also intend to get a ph meter. thnks

i feel you should learn the rudiment from an expert if you have not, dont just start it because you have passion for it. build your experience from others before you pump your hard earned money into it.


hope everyone is cool?
