My pond
Lenght=20ft
Width=10ft
Depth=6ft.
All concrete. No block.
Two boreholes at 180ft each.

Your pond is not in a swampy land so I don't see the need for using all concrete,9" hollow block would have done the job.You should try and cut down cost,I can see you have spent a lot of money on your site already.

I really spent lots of money. I was advised wrongly. I didn't know about this forum earlier. I would have saved lot's of cost.

It's better than saving cost of constructing pond and at the end of the day, you lose your fish due to pond collapse.
You are on course. the Lord is your strength.

How many fishes can my pond contain?
My pond size
Lenght=20ft
Width=10ft
Depth=6ft.

My pond size
Lenght=20ft
Width=10ft
Depth=6ft.

= 1,200 cubic feet = 8,977 gallons

My rule of thumb is 1lb of fish for every 2 gallons.

I would stock 1,125 fish that would eventually grow to roughly 2.2lbs/1kg.

That is what I would do. I'm sure others will say you can stock more.

Depth of 6FT! Is that not too deep?
Next time you wanna engage in a project like this, try to visit other farms and make google your friend. Best of luck.

@Ttalk , what qty of binding agent is ideal for 100kg of feed ?
Ttalk:
You can use so many binding agents such as aqua ll, tapiocca, cassava starch/flour, corn flour molasis and other starchy stuff but gelatinity depends on preparation.
Baker's yeast can be use as floating agent. The problem is in cost/quantity implication.
Contact goldgate2003@yahoo.com for advice on floating feed

It depend on the age of the fish you want to produce feed for and protein percentage in feed. Ideally, 25% to 35% can be used.

You can as well convert your carbohydrates to function as part of the binding. For example, combination of Cassava Flour Meal and Corn Flour can be used in ratio 15% and 20%

It makes it easy for algae to bloom in your pond. Algae is not desirable because during the day they will release oxygen but at night they will compete with your fish for valuable oxygen in your pond causing your fish growth to suffer because of the reduced DO levels.
