Lesson learnt.
1)don't expect much profit as a starter,if u make a loss nofin spoil.
2) don't cut cost when it comes to feeding. Also do not waste ur feed.
3) feeds that dissolve quickly gives little yield
4) constant water supply is very very important.
5) start small(500 pieces), start strong, be optimistic and be focused. Do it itself.(the secret is dat if it is not lucrative people will not still be doing the business)

This is what happened when u established a business without proper consultation or wrong consultancy . Rain should never cause flooding in a pond if proper water level control system had been putting in place. seek the advise of professional before opening thing like this.
Good luck

Good evening everyone.
Please I need enlightening on the use of plant for treatment of water and also the use of hydrated lime.

I know of using plants to cure fish diseases but not for water treatment.

We use plantain leaves to 'cure' our ponds before stocking.

How are your carfishes doing?

Profitable?
