Separate them if you have another pond. It is not advisable for you to stock juve/fingerlings from different suppliers in the same pond.

You aare welcome. I sincerely share your sentiment... It is possible to put them together but as a good farmer, it's wrong. The truth is that the ETHICS of our profession(agriculture) as a FARMER states that we should alwys give MUCH DETAILED ATTENTION TO DETAILS; especially when dealing in LIVESTOCK FARMING (poultry, pigry, fishery, heliculture & e.t.c). The following are the reasons why we don't house animals frm diferent sources together:
(1) To avoid crisis of transfer of disease from stock of source A to source B and (or) the entire farm.
(2) It helps to monitor the stock so as to have confidence in the supplier/producer/source
(3) It helps to monitor the progress & growth of the stock
(4) It helps to avoid behavioural pattern crisis due to the genetic nature from their parent stock (genetic make up).

We can go on and on and on.

Wishing you all the very best!!!

There are so many research on the import of garlic as it act as attractant, help in growth and serves as antibiotic the inclusion for best performance should be in the range of 3g for 100kg

People should help me prevail on Mr Robonski to supply my juvenile since i February 11, 2016. I have try as much as possible not to bring this to the forum simply because i wanted to respect individual business right but he has not kept his part of the agreement even after he promise to deliver on the 20th which lapse on Sunday and there has not been call or message from him or any of his associate.

Is this the way you intend to help upcoming farmers? I dont understand the continual delay in supply despite initial promise that supply will be made one week after payment. Your sale manager told me there are juveniles on ground but he needs you to give him the go ahead of which you have intentionally denied to give. Remember i have to scan the teller of payment to your e-mail at the instance of Mr Soft777 who said there was a mix-up and yet you failed to supply the juveniles.

Mr Nuvembarz, Phemmy, Ayosat, Ab1x and others that have direct contact of Mr Robonski & Soft 777 should prevail on them to do the needful. We have come a long way to build relationship and establish integrity, i dont want to be seen as someone who would tarnish such image.

I hope all these has been settled and all is OK already. . . I am sure the wait will worth it at the end of the day.

Joebillz is right.

Get shade over your pond and algae will reduce.
Changing water regularly can also reduce their multiplication.

When they are too much in the pond, they compete with the fishes for oxygen at night during respiration, that's the only challenge. If you can get a pond aerator for night use will reduce the respiration effect.
In the afternoon, there's no problem cos they produce oxygen during photosynthesis.
