For me, what I used is plantain sucker. fill the pond to the very level you want. Cut the sucker and put inside the pond. watch out for mosquito Larves, once they are many your pond is good to go.

or you can make use of lime, get like 30 of it for each, cut and put them inside the pond.
Well said.

One of the way forward is to produce your feed for the fish the moment they start picking 4mm floating

Op! Am really happy for this info that you've shared freely. It shows we still have some people out there that they are having the passion for agriculture not considering the money. Any other person would have asked us pay money for this.

I will really love to connect with you sir, how will that be possible?

there are two ways to it. I also have this type of pH meter.
1. You need a buffer tablet 4 or 7. Grind one tablet and make up to 100ml of water. you can use either of the tablet for one point calibration or use both for 2 point calibration. insert the pH meter into the solution and adjust the back screw with d supplied small screw driver until you have the reading of the solution on test on d display. The buffer solution could be kept for months for future calibration.
2. Par a venture u don't have access to the buffer tablet. get an Eva bottle water to be used as your buffer 7. do same as above in 1 until the display reads 7.
But method 1 is more reliable and accurate as Eva water has a PH range and not a fixed value like 7.
I hope this information helps you

Good morning all. Are you interesting in starting a fish farm in Abuja (i.e you have a suitable facility)? Do you have an existing fish farm in the city and you want to establish your hatchery or is the high feed cost giving you a challenge and you're interested in local feed formulation?
let's get talking. Thanks
