Hello house! Please help me on what to do, I am really frustrated... I stocked 500 juveniles in earthen pond about 6weeks ago but Monitor lizards are eating up these fishes even though I net the pond. They keep tearing the net and eating the helpless fishes. I was advised to set traps for them which I did but the trap didn't catch.

Sorry for the loss.

Can you use a wire gooze to make a kind of fence around the pond or if you love dogs get one and put inside the fence it will scare them away.

Had a bird problem back then in our rice farm but we used a dog in scaring the birds away.

Thanks for your reply!
Monitor lizards do climb well, they will still climb the wire gauze. That Dog would have been a better option but I live far from the pond location. Moreover, I rent a pond out of some there that belong to other people.

I read online that attaching peacock feathers to the net may help scare monitor lizards away. But getting peacock feathers is hard here because it is scarce.

What of that of chicken.

An adult dog can stay in the farm provided you get a house for him and bring for him each you visit the farm a believe two times daily.

Please find a solution delay is dangerous

Who made you a failed fishfarmer? that it didn't work well initially,is to educate you that somethings wasn't done well,it might even be your fish seeds. So be encourage, the Truthful ones will tell you they had faced one challenge or the other from their expliots. For price keep 400,so as not to fear,the left over,you keep. Dont buy all your feed at once,buy in batches. Introduce aquapro & livestovit in your regime this time


hello excelsior. please I need your help in purchasing aquapro at your location. kindly send me your number @ oscarvictor93@yahoo.com

i dont sell my brother,i only talk about its efficiency,i dont deal in sales of any product,but fishes & that is when i produce myself. I even learnt a lesson recently that any area out of ones dealing one should steer clear off it or sacrifice to assist could cause one challenge & losses. So my brother,i dont sell sir. I would even encourage that you all begin to do personal research & you could discover a possible replacement. So you will never be bereaved of alternative

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by osashilton: 12:46am On Feb 23, 2017
Pls guys beware of buyers that come to buy your fish. Many of them tamper with their weighing scale, you wouldnt know and fall victim. They will put a piece of wood inside the scale so when it weighs up to about 37kg, I won't go beyond 37kg. Even if you have your own scale, they will make sure u compare weight of not more than 20kg on their scale and urs, you will then think both scales are well calibrated. My brother, insist they use ur own scale to weigh... I hv a video I recorded while harvesting. Wuld hv fallen victim if not for quick thinking. I had to use my own scale and discovered they almost cheated me 50kg plus...
