Hello house, I just finished building a concrete pond hoping to begin fish farming. I have been told that I will need to treat the pond to kill off the cement before putting the fish.
My confusion now is how to go about it, some are saying I need to use chicken waste while another is saying I should use lime fruit and potassium.
Experts here should please help me on the best approach

1.Fill with water to the pond level you intend to neutralize the cement effect.
2. Get banana / plantain leaves, or pawpaw leaves, or bitter leaves, and put in the pond water. In 7-10days, you start to see larvae in the pond.
3. Remove the water, flush with fresh water, and your pond is ready for stocking (fingerlings).
However, check the pH of your water. If you don't have means of checking the water pH, fill the pond with water at least 24hours before stocking.

it is not always advisable to give fishes ecofloat until they are 3 month if you want to breed big fishes.

-@AMI3:

If the nutritional specification of the feed meets the fish nutritional requirement at the growth stage, it's should be alright. That is the reason why small sizes of feeds -3mm, 4mm, are more expensive (than bigger sizes). Farmers tend to hasten fish growth, by giving a fish that should be on 3mm feed, 6mm feed, and the jump to 9mm. Harvest is extended/ prolonged, when quality, and quantity of feed used are lower than what should be used (in line with feeding and water management techniques).

my fishes are 1 month and 17days today.
they have eaten
3 bags of 2mm alleraqua.
5 and half bag of 2mm blue crown
no single mortality

If you had collected 1200 juveniles catfish at reception, did you count to confirm the quantity transferred into the earthen pond?
If seed(juvenile) is from a good/reliable source, and with your own treatment at reception, mortality will be highly reduced. However, in the case of earthen pond, there are likely tendency of cannibalism, which can only be confirmed at harvest, when harvested quantity is usually less than stocked quantity.
If feeding throughout the rearing period of 6months is adequate, then yield at harvest should exceed 1200kg. This is a rough yardstick to measure the success of the rearing cycle.

Increasing Demands for High Quality Catfish Broodstocks
There is an increase in the demand for high quality catfish broodstocks. One of the reasons being that fecundity in female catfish is high during this period. Apart from this fact, higher number of eggs are produced, with good hatchability, and fry survival.
Our continuous nutritional research, for eggs formation ànd development in female catfish, and quality milt development in male catfish, are to make available, high quality male and female Catfish broodstocks to individuals, and hatcheries, for the production of healthy fingerlings of high quality, throughout the year.
We produce catfish broodstocks that are well fed with tested foreign and our locally produced extruded broodstock feeds, to enhance egg quality, gravidity, fecundity, hatching rate, as well as larvae survival.
You can conveniently meet your catfish broodstock requirements all year round with the Catfish Broodstock Depot - synergy for quality catfish fingerlings production.
