Please shed more light on inbreeding and crossbreeding. Some ppl i know use breed stock from their farm to hatch. is dt inbreeding? I am sure ucan trust broodstock.fron ur farmer better than d one from.outside d farm. or is d cross like btw clarias and branchus? hw are u sure d growth rate will be high?

@ewasnsr, just as observed by Fhemmy, its an in-ground concrete pond. The walls were made with rocks in them owing to the terrain. The bottom is concrete. It was re-laid because of leakages.... as for draining the water, we use a water pump majorly. @mercylicious... swimming with the fishes even without tiling is a good sport... its 20m by 9m

mercylicious:
I am facing the first major challenge . Our sumo for pumping water spoilt since friday and we didnt know. Heard from our gateman dt landlord has called ppl to fix it but i dont know how long it will take.

I have reduced feeding rate by half so dt i can manage water for longer time. The water was also filled to half of wat i normally fill it. Iam thinking of bringing my tank from my farm home and call tankers to fill it but dt will cost some money for d relocation. Another tot dt came to.my mind is dt am.nt sure if there is chlorine or other chemicals in d tankers water.

I noticed green algae in my pond. i also noticed the fish eat it. hmm. so surprising. I gues its cos my pond isnt covered.

@excelsior , thanks for ur explanation.

They were 50. 6 died in the first week due to contamination as a result of overfeeding in an inadequate pond.
Am a newbie though. I stocked juveniles, was told they were 7weeks BT I can say if its true or not.they maybe weeks.
