Op, great job so far! Experience sharing is awesome.

That stocking density thing though. Even if You are running flowthrough+aeration, be advised to reduce to700/800 max.

True, you can ctock your 1000, but thier growth wouldn't be optimized.

I don't intend growing the catfish till it get to 2kg each. I will only train them for 3-4 months before selling them out immediately. Well I may wish to select few to outgrow them in a selected pond, but will definately reduce them their number in the pond. Thanks a lot

My able Apitch, I said I will not allow the fish to reach 2kg before selling. Am only targeting 1kg per fish. Withing 3-4 months, I will achieve it with proper management. Thanks.

Re: Fish Pond Construction (concrete Pond) by sibb2011: 9:05pm On Aug 07, 2015
Why all the stress of digging and building, when you can have big tank bought that can contain close to 1000 pcs of big cat fish.

Earthen pond is better than concrete ponds base on some factors. Earth pond has supplimentary feeds like adequate zooplanktons which will reduce the amount of feed given to them. Adequate planktons are also available which provide deplited oxygen for respiration. But concrete ponds also have their advantages over earthen ponds.
