Someone said here that an adult catfish needs an average of 15l of water. Going by that, it can contain about 67 adult catfish.
The tarpaulin pond of about 25,000l I saw on www.benuwatts.com is abt 59k. But I am doubting the genuineness of the company. Since all their transactions are done online, I am afraid of loosing my hard-earned cash.

By all indications they seemed genuine. I got a tarpaulin pond from them last year July or so and was supplied as claimed. The only slight issue was delivery location. I am based in Ogbomoso and it seems the company is based in the East and had challenges sending direct here. It was eventually delivered to a capital city of my choice and i made arrangements to collect from motor park. All in all, good well received.
NB: You will have to construct the frame yourself. All the best.

gud am. please what do.i.do if i observe dead fishes like 5 in my earthen pond in the morning. sometimes it could be 2. the recent one happened after rainfall so.i guess it could not be poor water.
also, some fishes have poor growth among them while some are big. what do i do. Thanks

Thanks so much for the info! Your tarpaulin looks so beautiful. Do you have any challenges using it? How much did the frame construction cost you?

durodee:
The cost of the galvanised pipe frame then was about 35, 000 or so. Some challengies as usual with anything you are new with: the most important was i was afraid the tank might leak. The drain point was initially set high as in the pic but after a few weeks i was bold enough to make another one lower down.
The tank is about a year old. Almost insignificant leakage, seams intact. With my frame, i can only fill two thirds of the way before it will seem as if it wants to collapse, SO FRAME STRENGTH IS KEY. Also make sure the plumber uses a hot round pipe to make the outlet holes otherwise the edges might be ragged and possibly a point of tearing. Just my fear though , no evidence!

Thanks,
How do you wash it?
Do you scrub with brush or is it fragile.
Thanks again

durodee:
Not that fragile that it cant be washed! It is tarpaulin!!! Regular brush is ok, local sponge ok, sack sponge ok, wire brush NO!!!!
