Depending on your financial strenght you can get a tank then cut into two or construct a concrete hatching pond.. The main thing is availability of good water

I must commend your effort so far, you rightly pin pointed all your lapses which you need to improve on this present batch.. Sort, feed well, Practice good water management, reduce cannibalism.

Keep us posted on your progress

Please, Is there a subscriber to this topic that resides in the Enugu axis? I just recently started a fish farm and have gone through the motions as described by the post that informed your reply and would very much want to learn more form interactions like this. For a start, what is the age, in weeks, of juveniles and how much is cost per one? what feed is adequate for them and how much to feed at what frequency if one starts with 500?

..just like what some1 have said feed less, if you are on flow through reduce the inflow water because of stress. They don't need stress at all.

Price of Juveniles differ depends on location and quality.. there are good imported feeds out there which you can use for about two months before switching to formulated feed.. #150k to max #200k for feeding

That's due to insufficient oxygen in the water. You can improve that by changing the water or aerating by agitating the stagnant water or providing shade if the pond is very open to sunlight.
