I eventually lost 90% of my fries on Saturday D 13th day o. On Friday night my pumping machine got spoilt Nd couldn't repair it until d next morning. I tot d water in d geepee tank will sustain me through d night but only to discover dat d water stoped flowing in d middle of d night and almost all my fries were gone. Don't really know if dat was a reason for dem to die cos d water stoped flowing through only just for few hours. Thanks to all that have really been of help. I guess am finally signing out on hatching.
This is my fourth unsuccessful production Nd it's not encouraging at all
Naija don tire me. Don't AV any business idea again.

My dear brother please dont give up. Try check other parameters, av also done 4 unsuccessful hatching with expensive broodstock, yet am still expanding my hatchery facility. But like my friend says, u havent gotten d rhythm of ur farm dats all. And when u do, u wont ever think of quitting. Keep trying. Hatching isnt ur problem i guess its d nursing u havnt got the wind of. Take ur water for proper testing too. Its worth trying. After 4 hatching and all d stress pluss sleepless nights, in over 2mths i have less than 500 fries. But i believe dat if o can save dis little a little mor effort will grow a bigger batch.

Dear Mrs Gift,
Please, I would like to know if you are using any form of shade for your ponds. From the pics above, it shows you are not using any shade and the fishes are doing real good.

Awaits your response.

Great job,

As a Tarpaulin/Mobile Pond Expert, I advise that you get a 'sidebar' for your pond, it can be from the same wood you used,make it 1 feet from the ground, but make it run across.

Something like this below...

If not you won't be able to fill your pond up to the brim and Your material would get stressed quickly otherwise,(am sure you already know what am talking about *winks*)
thank U vry much sir, i wil do as u advice. Sir pls where is ur location and what is the cost of 9x12x3.5? Awaiting ur response

I think after 4 failures you should be able to know where your mistakes are coming from. Most times it's always water. I guess u should get an aerator and also check the quality of your water. For them to survive to 3 weeks then you have been successful it's just that your water stopped flowing so get a backup tank to store more water and try again.

the fund is much(too) if you have the know how & small if you have no experience or knowledge of hatching,meaning excess for someone that knows,could be wasted to a learner. My advice is start with raising fingerlings & go understudy someone for hatchery

quitting will not solve ur issue, when u have set back at something u dont quit u look for solution the problem. I under ur pain, back then in school i had a friend that did countless unsuccessful hatching, people were making fun of him that it almost made him quit, i encouraged him to keep at it that it was just a cycle he listend. To cut the story short he never quit and right Now he have one of the biggest Farm in that state. So dust urself, understand what is wrong, keep trying, this is just a cycle it will soon end.

i am not your boss. Using well water isn't a problem,provided the PH is good.I had be using well in all my work,except the farm at jabata,Oyo state,war college at gwariinpa,abuja & the training in benin,Edo state. About your water not totally colourless? have you tried to filter(wise to have them,even if your water is looking clear), also is your water ok to even see your fries at all? if not,i would advice you get a means through filteration to at least attain it. I would have given you a straight yes,but i try to give what could be common solution that could easily be attain,not exceptional cases
