there are nets specifically made for that purpose,d window net might work a bit on concrete ponds,though better if u put wire gauze & build a frame around it,but get d fishnet that is what can withstand this predators,its durable,but i dont know d cost

@Excelsior, from experience do you think concrete ponds gives better result than plastic/polythene ponds? am asking this question because a fellow farmer told me so.

indeed there are many farmers.i always want facts to be backed up with relevant points or answers.concrete mostly have more water volume & output is in relation to space & availiable o2.

hmmm,i cannot tell u categorically that a plastic tank is this size,expect d white industrial tanks which is well calibrated-1000litres,cost N14-15K,can raise at least 120(to reduce mgt work for u).d other black ones na naija it isnt calibrated,and cost vary from N25-N40k,at least two brands,answers can be given when d brand is known.those sellers mostly give assumption of water volume.

Both ponds are good. Space is the most important thing to consider when u want to make use of either of the two. A lot of fish farmer will tell u that rearing fish in earthen pond is better than concrete pond but they may not be far from the truth. But I tell u dat, ur fish can do better in any kind of pond u make use of. I have stated in the secret in my earlier post and I'll state it again. Space, water mgt, good feed formula, passion for it are no doubt the secret behind fish farming.
