@calyb good morning. This is just to encourage you as you set off on your journey. I know people have said a lot here, just remain calm. Pray, do your due research and continue on your path. If you feel the need to be quiet at times on this thread PLEASE DO. I have noticed from threads like this, the pressure can be overwhelming at times. Different opinions here and there and pressure to give information up and down. Some people will be asking for information and be dropping number for you to call them. Others will be asking questions time and time again when the answer is just spaces above their head! Please sieve the wheat from the shaft and yes I said that on purpose. There are some here talking and they know what they are saying, liaise with them and those around your immediate environment. Look at what other fish farmers are doing and ask questions. To be fair practical is a lot more than theory. Look up old threads on catfish too and make contact if necessary. Like I said earlier DO YOU first. All the best to you. 6 Likes 1 Share |

MrCork: Are you being serious or that's just humor ? So making a fish pond means he is uneducated, or all the fishermen in Nigeria are uneducated? You prefer he carries a gun and go rob ? 1 Like |

Re: Fish Pond Construction (concrete Pond) by oc2fish: 8:44am On Aug 08, 2015 |
Thanks very much for the information i strongly suggest the followings. 1. Please start with juvenile or mini fish because it takes a lot to manage fingerlings. You will face challenges of changing water if you dont have enough gradient and your outlet is made for bigfish. Perforated big pipe will kill the fish during water change. 2.Stocking density should be 550; NOTE in fish marketing the quantity is not as important as the size. Fishes are sold in weight not in numbers. 400 fishes weighing 1.2 kg will attract more price than 3000 fish weighing 300g. Thanks 6 Likes |

MrCork: Do you eat fish ? How do you get the fish, the food you eat there in London, how do you get it? and one asked you what car you driving, no one cares, The Op is doing a very good job in a country where the unemployment rate is high and the economy is unstable. I can't even believe am replying you. you make no sense, so it's a waste of time talking to you. please go to work the rent in London is pretty high, you have to pay your rent with your other 3 roommates and stop lying. 2 Likes |

edward1984: Am surprised you don't know who MrCork is... check his post as far back as 2013 you will understand you are talking to that guy who's built a name for himself in trolling for fun and annoying people just to have a laugh. Brother you get time plenty. Ppl like him are best avoided when not replied atall, he loves attention. In one thread i stumbled on sometime ago, i saw where he was wooing a girl with lines that you can tell he was making fun of the girl, we adviced her not to reply him, that he's trying to make her look stupid, when she realised and stopped replying, he now looked stupid, quoting and quoting her with no reply even when she responded to other ppl. He's doing same with you. 6 Likes |

Re: Fish Pond Construction (concrete Pond) by BELEXYFARMS(m): 9:18am On Aug 08, 2015 |
Calyb: Hello sir, good job you are doing there and more blessings on ur endeavours. Just thought i should also give my observations since you gave us permission to air our thoughts/observation. Your 10*10*4 pond would NOT comfortable take 1000 fingerlings to adulthood unless you are doing regular/almost constant flow through. Yes, you can stock a thousand in that but you will not get optimal growth and the fishes will be stunted, not to talk of the regular illnesses that will arise because of over-crowding. A point will come that even within a day of changing water, the water becomes so polluted and saturated wt ammonia and carbondioxide that the fishes will not eat maximally the next day. I have bigger ponds than yours and i have experiened what i am telling you. I read somewhere in one of ur comments that ur aim is an average weight of 1kg fish in 3 - 4months, well to be honest it might not really be possible especially since u are stocking from fingerlings. Truthfully, some will even be bigger than 1.2kg at 4months but most of ur fishes will be well below that range and when u take the average, u might not hit 1kg. Forget all the stories u av heard. When u start the fish farming you will see that theory/internet fairy tales are completely different from reality. If u really want that size of fish, then definitely you should NOT put 1000 in that pond and you will need to be doing flow through regularly to get optimal growth of 1kg in the 3 - 4months u av targetted, provided you get very good seeds, preferably the 1st sorting from the spawning. All the best sir. Ciao. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Calyb:Those ones are minor stuff, the major thing is the yield. The advantages of earthen over concrete ponds can never be overemphasized. Do you intend to use only imported feeds all through or together feed hatchery wastes and some other feed stuff? |
