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

Pls would b glad to have fish smoking tech. my mail femylawal@gmail.com

Belexy: Hi peeps, plz who has an idea of how much a 2000Litre GeePee capacity water tank costs?

robonski15:

Hello house am currently on vacation, I had to take some time off..

Belexy:
Plz someone shd answer.

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..

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

femylawal:

sir, u answered concrete being flow through not d estimate for 50,000 capacity hatchery

femylawal:
thankz oga mi Sir. but wont dat involve using pumpin machine, generator , aerator etc.
thankzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Belexy:
And how many fingerlings should i stock in this pond (12ft x 6ft x 3ft) to breed to table size?

mozek24: Complement of the season guys,

I want to appreciate every contributor to this thread and even the readers too, you may not know what you have. This information is enough to make a book!

I am based in Benin Edo state and information on fish farming is hotcake, you pay for every little tip. Its very fraustrating and discouraging. Nobody tells you anything cos they want you to keep buying from them and they are full of fraud. No need saying how I paid for one useless feed formular, runt fingerlings etc until I was connected to one lolif farms in Lagos. May God bless him and his business. I call and ping him always, he calls regularly for follow ups, even when I offered to pay him he refused stating that am just a stater. And guess what? HE IS A MUSLIM, am so impressed. Though I don't disturb him again cos am gaining experience but I can never forget him. At a time he advisedme that I've grown beyond buying imported feed that I should buy a peleting maching and proccess my feed. And that's what we do now.

Am only trying to show appreciation here and encourage those that have something to give to do that (freely). Like in my case am looking for opportunity to repay this guy in a big way. Without boast or pride I am better that those guys who introduced me into this (for exploits), when you hoard information you don't learn. They now ask me how I do it and I teach them freely.

If you have any opportunity to add value do it (freely). We met it and we shall all leave it; so impact life.

Thank you lolif farm.

niyeee: Merry xmas
