1.)Feed them till satiation.. By my calculation they should be juvenile and should be eating 3mm feed..

2) About the earator stone u can check at kingdom aquarium.

3) It depends on the location of the pond.. If sun light is directed towards the pond then it should be covered to avoid algea bloom..

excelsiorfarm: oga it seems i answered a similar question before, check, except it ain't on this thread

robonski15:

Concrete ponds can be made flow through when water flows into the pond through the pond inlets while water flows out of the pond through the outlet of the ponds..

Belexy:
thanks boss.

I think people in that part of the country should be able to reply to your question as regards cooperative society in Kwara.
Oxygen depletions are the most common cause of fish kills in ponds. Most oxygen deletions occur in the summer months because warm water holds less dissolved oxygen than cool or cold water, and also because the pond’s oxygen demand is greater in warm water than in cold water.
Water hardness is often confusing and therefore overlooked by many fish farmers, though quite important because it is closely related to pH levels. Fish can only thrive in certain levels of water hardness, and if the levels are out of balance, it can cause stress and death. It is important that you know the hardness of the water in your fish tank. Hard water (high mineral content) is usually high in pH. Soft water (low mineral) is usually low in pH. The mineral in hard water acts as a buffer which reduces the amount of acid in the water. The resulting water will be more alkaline and higher in pH. Some species of fish require hard water while others require soft.


Thanks for the prompt response. God bless

It does not have a specific time. I presently have a stock, they are just 15 days old. They are already on 2mm and if I give them 3mm they will pick it convienently however I advise people to make use of 2mm through out before changing to a local feeds so that those small fingerlins in the pond will be able to catch up otherwise they will become runts.

excelsiorfarm: first two questions,yes, d third, just durability,but expensive

pls for the new pple, pls can concrete pond b flow through


The kind of pond u make use of will determine when to change water. If it is concrete, it has to be every 3 days but if it is earthen using flow through method, u can leave it till harvest time. However, if u like u can change the water once before harvest(but I don't change mine @ all). Please allow your fish to eat enough floating feeds before u switch to local feeds. My formular one is FM 50, TS 20, GNC 20, biscuit 10, Vit C 200grams, Salt 1, Premix 1, DCP 1, Molasis 10 . My formular one is 100KG and it is 100% protein. You will notice massive change in the growth of ur fish. Of a truth, it is quite richer than coppens or any other floating feeds.

DBounty: @fisbel pls send d fish smoking tech to davisbounty77@yahoo.com. God bless u.

robonski15: Fish farming like other business has its prons and cons.. And truthfully its a very lucrative and yet a money draining business..

I have read articles about how lucrative the business is and how to invest and reap millions.. All I do is just to laugh on reading such article.. All they want is just for u to buy their manual and make money.. Surprisingly most of them don't have a farm of their own, they are computer farmers who don't have any experience whatsoever in the business..

I know of farms within my area who have shut down their farms due to frequent loss over the years.. I was also considering shutting down myself after I lost close to 2 million naira, yeah u heard me TWO MILLION NAIRA, but after diligent study which took about a year I decided to give it my last shot..

To be continued..
