I spent 11years in Thailand and all their fish farm is earthen pond. their cat fish are so big and their skin color are so natural, you can't compare natural and artificial
Better I think
I got 9 earth/mud ponds totalling 1 acres surface area. 2 years already.I also got 5 concrete pond with 72'000 liters capacity, using RAS Recirculating Aquaculture System which generating good profits. These concrete tanks being running for more than 4 years...with almost no changing of water... because I use sendimentation tanks to removed organic matter= fertilzer.
Mud pond is easy to make, but difficult to manage and waste of resources.
Thanks....I will build my ponds out of concrete and use RAS. Have you had any experience with Biofloc my friend?
What's RAS?
Hello how are you doing today, please I am really interested in fish farm but i have no idea on how to do it, please i will like you to help me please thank

This is what am planning to do fish ponds. This is a good lesson.
My first time here. I needed this information so much. Thanks for sharing.
Perfectly explained 👌👏
Thank you Sir for this timely video
Great lesson
Nice one bro thanks for the lecture
Great breakdown brother.
Awesome video 👏
Thank you all for love and support.
You make sense sir 🎉Kufos
Good video
Good analysis there brother.
Concrete ponds also has a whole bunch of advantages. Most importantly, you can build it anywhere anytime. Very hard to build earthen ponds in some areas because it just dries up
Yeah, you're right and I said that at the end
Your contact
Brilliant and very useful information
Thank you.
I like your analysis your are in middle my brother, eathern pond is the you must have a river near, a concrete pond even in town, far from river you can bread cats fishs thank you my brother
Great information sir🥰🥰
Keep watching
Nice video man. The sound of the Dave in the background is so beautiful to hear
Glad you enjoyed it.
I am going to start a catfish business on the same land as my chicken farm and I was debating between a concrete pond and an earth pond now I know which one to make, I am gonna go with an earth pond, love the video, thank you for the information.
Is your land good enough for earthen pond?
@@AddotaFarm yes, I already let people check it out.
@@arellysritchieauthor how about the digging?
@@AddotaFarm not yet.
Nice
nice content but all you mention were advantages of earthen ponds over concrete pond. in my opinion the view didn't get to choose. you also forgot to mention the accessibility of water and the type of soil. earthen ponds can flood easily leading to loss of fish when you have heavy rains. disease control is easy in concrete ponds than in earthen pond, etc
I dropped a new video up there sir, please check.

Facts.
Many thanks too. I like your advice
nice
Let’s build Africa together 🔥🔥🔥
You are speaking from experience and I like that. I’m coming back home to start a farm. I will definitely reach out for your advice if that’s okay.
Anytime sir
Everyone is planning on going back home to start something.... that's good and may God prosper the works of your hands.
but in earthen pond the fish can gain immunity to disease as long as the poppulation is just minimal and you will add also a good aeration, I have both earthen and concrete pond, i grow my fry to earthen pond and stock my breeders, koi fish that are for sale at concrete pond and breeding tank are concrete ponds too
Am finally here I thank the Almighty God ❣️
you're welcome, glad to have you here.
It depends where you are. In kenya the earthen ponds are very expensive to maintain. Concrete pond is lined with special materials to waterproof it. Maintenance cost is very low. Also, earthen ponds will collapse without a liner. Liner is expensive
Great video
Yeah... Earthen pond is better if you have enough space to place it.. But if you want to have also a backyard pond... Concrete pond is better too. Same same situation brother
I'm learning. I've just dug an earthed pond
Intact fish is more tasty compared its natural
Pls can I do earthen pond in a place which there is no river? And how if possible? Thanks for your lecture
catfish loves mud and they grow well in them
Does earthen pond have to sort or separate the bigger fish from the smaller fish
Bro, is a tarpaulin pond suitable for growing catfish?
I have a swampy half plot somewhere along Badagry Expressway that I am planning to use. But the challenge is that I don't stay near and I hear it's risky paying people to help you oversee such project. What will you advise?
Please sir, 07019598965. Let's talk about it on WhatsApp sir.
How do I clean my concrete pond
All pond heat but they are limited to the top of pond
Is earthen pond good for fish that is newly hatched from egg? I'm thinking about putting a liter in my earthen pond.
No, please let them at least spend 1 week in the hatchery or concrete tank.
Thank you very much for this video! But speaking of diseases, isn't it a good idea to use water filters to prevent disease? Please let me know what you think. we're here to share ideas. Stay blessed! 🙏🏾
your question is not clear sir!
@@AddotaFarm speaking of the EARTH-POND: I was asking if it is okay to use a water filter to filter the water that is coming into the pond to prevent diseases whenever the creek, lake, or body of water you are using is contaminated
Is it ok to use a WATER FILTER to prevent diseases from coming into your pond to destroy your fishes?
@@mr.breakthroughfannoh6621 well if you can! But I don't think it prevent sha
Filtering the water depends on the type of water filteration you want to employ. If it is a large amount of water it will need some huge investment to clean the water. The best way to clean and recycle the water is through Aquaponics. Your waste water can be used for cropping and the water will be recycled and and pumped back to the fish tanks.
what about lining the earthen pond with the thick plastic. Will that make the earthen pond similar to a concrete pond?
I don't get what you're saying
You mean using a dam liner? Yes, it prevents the water from sipping into the ground, hence saving a lot of water. It's cheaper and equally effective
Quite Informative! Are you based in Lagos?
No sir, I'm in Ibadan.
I would like to start my fish pond please I have gone through your videos but I need more advice from u

From ur comparison, it can be deduced that earthen pond is better. What of if soil material is pour inside concrete pond, can it be like earthen pond. Thanks
Not really, that fact doesn't really mean it exhibits earthen pond natural properties.
It is easier to harvest,sort and hatch in concrete ponds.
It is also easier to assess their growth in concrete pond.
Lastly you can build concrete pond in your backyard but cannot dig anywhere because earthen ponds keeps on expanding.
I never condemned anyone like I said, just to make you understand that earthen pond is better.
There are millions of fish farmers in my area here that will never stock fish in concrete pond. So far it's working for you, it nothing to be sentimental about.
Plus, you haven't see real fish farming. There are lots of houses with earthen pond at their back, I've seen filling station with its own earthen pond and lot's more. Packing fish in earthen ponds too are most easy for the expert too. You won't understand, less you go to an area where people do real catfish business.
Can I use borehole for my earthen pond?
Yes ofcourse that's what most people do.
What if stream is not close to that place for the earthen pond....pls sir is there any other means we can supply water into that pond??.,..is it proper to use water stored in a storage tank,. And how do I change the water there
If an earthen pond is not close to a sustainable flowing stream, which is not advisable, then you need to have a borehole. In this case, where your earthen pond is not close to sustainable flowing stream, then why do you need earthen pond again? Just go for overground types like concrete or tarpaulin ponds.
what are the parameters in setting up a mud pond for koi? thanks!
The place must be a water log, have stream, diggable, and secured.
What if stream is not close to that place for the earthen pond....pls sir is there any other means we can supply water into that pond??
Please I just want to ask about the sorting process in the earthen pond. Or is there no need for sorting them???
there's need but is practical
For a beginner of concrete pond what’s the recommended size
any size is recommended, but stock lower number of fish for a start up so you don't end up losing interest in the business.
Hi I want to start fish farming but my problem is pellet machine is so expensive. Is there any other way of feeding catfish??
No, if you can't do feed at the feed mill, your next option is to buy already made feed.
Which one use more water?
Concrete pond
Please I have a fish pond and there's too much mud in it and I have to evacuate the mud and transform it into a concrete fish pond, can you advice me on what to do?
It's a good idea you going for concrete pond
In case of disease how can treat yours cats fish? ,tell us how make efficiencies foods ?
Please sir/ma...I have video on how to treat your fish already, check our channel.
it is your preferences only. don't talk like they are universal truth, dude.
How much lime do you put in a pond of 50ft by 80ft? Thanks
50kg
You forgot to mention the harvesting process, predators infestation and so on
I will get you videos on that very soon.
What are if you live in an area that is close to to river, can you still do earthen pond?? I say this because in an area that is not close to the river it is not possible to get water from the soil . What are your take on that?
if you can bear the cost of pumping water everyday, go on.
This is only pictures as I've paid for fish farming course and training,now only story,this guy is persuasive....ask him to come around to know him

Hi I'm building a 30000 capacity fish on a concrete pond. I am planning to have 2000 fishes in one pond. please what size is the pond going to be for the 2000 fishes thanks.
please can you message me on WhatsApp +2347019598965
sir between concrete pond and tarpaulin ponds which is best for effective fish growth
Both are good but concrete is better.
What if I create a earthen pond and I run the water with a bore hole, will there be a chance of disease for the fish
no, just the cost of running it with petrol
How long does it take to refertilize an earthen pond
7 days
Can you fill your fish tank with tap water?
yes you can, but change the water weekly.
How do I change the water in the earthen pond, if am to use borewhole or water storage tank as source of water supply
What about tarpaulin
It good but you can't compare it to the two ponds.
So, all i have to do is own a land and i can be a fish farmer??? that sounds too easy someone .. ofcourse im aware i must have borehole and buy fish food and monitor everything .. yet, it still sounds too easy
size matter at all
Can I use sea water for my catfish farm?
sea water, you mean from the sea?
😁

Yes you can buy make it is a rough one. Smooth ones are not good. Saying this to avoid falling.
@@AddotaFarm how can I get your phone number
Brother I disagree with you on what you said on concrete and earthen ponds. There's nothing like neatness. No vex abeg.
I did not understand a thing!
I think you've made a biased comparison
thank you
you are asking which one is better you did not mention the advantages and disadvantages of both pond a very biased comparison, the title of your video should be earthen pond is better than concrete pond, i think you are just a youtuber not an expert
Please sir I'll love to have your contact
