Why?

PhardFarm:


Why?

They spoil quick... Lose shape on the sides/edges and are maintenance intensive.

Those ponds are still in shape since last yr.

I use the same type of pond and it have lasted for more than a year. ur tapoline pond was not well constructed, it could collapse.u need to brace the top to prevent pressure of water from pulling it down.

Uncle doesn't see the need for that cos he doesn't pump water above half mark

Good evening all. It is an understatement to say that this thread is invaluably imparting. I am hell bent to go through all the threads - I have gone above 70 now. The contributions of the gurus in the house, robonski, excelsiorfarm, ab1x amongst others are so wonderful and their dedication and sacrifice to see others succeed in this field is highly commendable - may the almighty God bless you all immensely. I am glad to join this thread and as a novice in fish farming, to grow into maturity in the field. Thank you all

the depth of water in a pond those not matter but aleast it should be 1ft, what matters most is the breadth and width(surface area of the water)

After several attempts to get Robonski15 to either teach me hatchery or recommend any of his trusted friends to me failed, i watched some hatching videos online and decided to try it. Well it was a huge failure. I carefully followed the procedure, first i bought two male and one female brood stuck from an old farmer (that does not hatch )one male died before the procedure so i bought another one, i was able to get the pituitary gland, which i injected into the female in a saline solution ,this was done at about 10 am, by 6pm i extracted the eggs from the female(millions of eggs.) when i tested my water ph. It was 9.1 even when i had added sodium carbonate the previous evening, i decide to divide the eggs into two, one half i used the 9.1 ph water, the other half i used 7.5 ph water, at the end of the day, there was no life in any of the two. what went wrong?

please house, I learnt hatchery from a farmer at ijebu ode, and I did my first trial, though I bought my broodstocks from the local market, weight 500-800g, after spawning I saw movements in the water, then I lost them to pollution but abt 200 survived, which are my first fruits, lol....I cherished them till date,....I did a ph test for my 2nd trial coz my water is acidic abt 5.5-6.5 I was told its not good for the fish that I should use soda ash on the water, I did that but the colouration I got from my ph tester was totally out of range... deep blue...the tester indicates green as safe.. so I didnt use the soda ash for my second trial, and I lost all. I want to get it right this time, my instructor is out of the country, I am determined to get it right, could my stocks be the problem cz I bought them from the local market, or my water ph, if its ph what range is good on them, or could it be sperm quality, a fellow farmer said during rainy season that spawning processes are more difficult cz they experience mortality, please enlighten me,I reside in warri.

Hope your fishes are doing fine,uploading pic of your dead fishes will help better diagnosis. its better you use formalin to wash you pond. keproceryl is a good broad spectrum anti biotic, your fishes will be fine. dont over feed for now and always observe good mgt practise
