i will upload their recent picture soon as they are now 3 months old.

i have a question, how do you control ph concrete ponds.. i notice that different parts of mine have different ph values... and it gets more and more alkaline
when i started out, i ensured a ph value of 7.3-7.6 before egg fertilization, when i removed my netting i noticed my ph value had risen to 8.5-8.7... the average water ph where my hatchery is is 5.3. i initially regulated using CaCO₃ (limestone). i limed with hydrated lime before pond fertilization, ... can u suggest to me probable cause of the ph spike

Johnnyessence:

The PH fluctuation might be due to underground sipping. Do you have industry(s) around where your farm is sited or close to where agricultutal chemicals are applied like fertilizers or herbicide? Another fluctuation might be due to the water system you are using. Is it borehole?

yes i use a bore hole and no thhere are no industries around its a strictly residential area.

but do these spike mean my sack frys will die?

Their good ppl of nl I have an earthen pond that I want to introduce catfish fingerlings by next week
But there are some greenish things like weed covering the face of the pond, does it mean any harm,
It has been removed before but it resurfaced again. Please I need an urgent advice. The pond has been used
Before by someone, even when I was reconstructing it they removed over 20 catfishes both big and small.

They wont die if you maintain the Ph level, results might be poor as ph is essential in breeding. You might consider changing location or find another water source.

You need to explain more on the "greenish" thing. It could be algae or pond weed. If it's algae change the water by pumping it out and allow fresh water to sip in

Gud job guys. Please is any body into Tilapia fish farming cos I need info on it.

what do you think?

If it is the same water, you will get the same result

Chairman, it is pond weed.

im using different water.. and location.. however i think if it is pond concrete leeching, the fact that im using tarpaulin should eliminate that factor... besides before i hatched the ph from the borehole was 5.3-5.6 depending on how heavy rain fall was

wow.. its been a while. i was so happy when i visited the farm of one of our silent thread follower here on Nl. he got the best location and he is on the path of becoming a successful cat fish farmer. when we say successful, we mean those that raise catfishes to get high returns not meager returns.. the big n
he took his first step to achieving that big bold step. he decided not to follow the band wagon. he want to be distinct. this is a pic of his natural aquifer. this aquifer run for 24hrs non-stop. now imagine the volume of water gushing out of that time. its MASSIVE!!!!

here again.. i so much love this aquifer. thorough research and patience gave birth to this...do it right and do it well. catfish farming pays. do not let anyone deceive you.

this aquifer can conveniently supply 6 ponds. it is a gold mine

at 4 months old

new pond.. just 2 months old. see a true definition of 'blending with nature'. fishes feel at home in these kind of ponds

Why do you need a catfish group? We can share and discuss whatever we want on here. You might even get more help and suggestions on the forum

I think we need to discuss more on earthen and artificial ponds, so many people are making mistakes
