duullie88:
A tarp pond of 14ft by 11ft with a depth of 4.5ft / can it take 1000 fishes to maturity

That is 4.2meters by 3.3meters by 1.35meters

That is almost 18,000 litres space ... ..

Suppose you use 15,000 litres for the water level becos you won't fill it to top..

That is 15 litres of water per fish...

Is OK...

The rule of tomb is 10litres per fish if you change every 2 to 3 days.. But with 15 litres you stand at good advantage..

Your pond will accommodate the 1000 fishes to table size conveniently...

from your picture the water is polluted, you have a poor water managment, that is a fungi infection so you need to treat them with a antifungi drug + salt for atleast 5 days

1. make sure that the pond is not over stocked. 2. make sure the level of water is enough. 3. changing water twice in a day is to stressful for the fish. 4. you can treat them with aquadex plus for like 5 days

You can't rear catfish in that drum, better to get a regular geepee tank.

Thanks please what do you used in washing the tank, I'm a little concerned because it was used for biocide, doesn't it pose a health risk for fry and larvae? Because I'm thinking of going into hatchery
