This is very great. Have learnt so much. Wish many can pass by this video and learn to This means I dont need to be near a wetland to dig up and be able to own a fish pond
this is very detailed, didnt expect to find this information on youtube nor do i usually leave comments on videos. keep up the good job! if possible could you do a video about pond water, when its time to change water or how do you clean the water if its dirty
@@NefunoKabwe I didn't 2 ponds size 20x30 using manual labour. It's a nightmare. It's two months now and this is when they have finished. The cost feeding them, the fuel to go and check on the works etc. Not worth it. Met a guy with an excavator and when we did the numbers, I could only spent half of what I have spent. Plus the poknds could v been done in a day. Your ponds are neat too
I can imagine. It's good to know that other side too. I would love to hear more of your experiences. Please lets talk more my number is 0978967912 or email nefunokabwe@gmail.com and thanks
awesome video. please share on 1. how often to you refill your pond due to evaporation and 2. Pump size (horsepower) you are using which can manage 2 ponds of that magnitude without challeges. I would love to visit your farm.
Thanks for you video its educative.We stocked 900 fingerling In a 10 x 10m fish pond from mid january to September.source of water was natural cover with clay soil.feeding was ok from starter to finisher, unfortunately in 7 months fish were still stunted in growth.where did we miss it? could it be the issue of not draining water,less oxygen etc??
I really like your spirit and your hubby... I and my wife are a young couple who would love to start fish farming... I don't know how we can visit you and learn
Wow, what is the use of solar? And the water will it not over flooding or the air rator will automatically stop on its own pumping the water? I have learnt alot though you must have served enough to do the project, 👌👌👍👍👍💖
Hi it depends on your stocking density and at how many grams you choose to harvest. Let’s say you stocked 4500 fingerlings,at 12fingerlings/sqr mtr and if you harvest at 300grams you simply multiply by number of fish . So in this case About 1300kgs
Thank you for sharing, very kind of you, we are also new and are at the digging stage, i hope i can call you for contacts, the excavation cost we are finding is K6000 per pond??? And our ponds are 20 by 30, i wonder if it ends up being the same as 40 by 10 when it comes to liners?
If you have a place with nonstop water flowing source ,it would be much simple and easy to farm tilapia . You don't need a pond nice and cost as this.Any form of Mimi reservoir is ok. With good water sources , you can build a fish factory ,no anymore a farm . The only thing to do is go to find the way to lower the tilapia feeds .
Hi there are many drilling companies in Zambia. you can visit anyone of them but they range from k17000 going upwards depending on depth and type of pipes you use i.e PVC or metal
Hi, i just began my fish farming journey, your videos are very informative! I want to find out about this estimated cost, is this the total cost per pond without the equipment?
Hi, we have not invested much in recycling the water. we just pump it directly to the small veg fields though not all of it. Its still work in progress. I don't provide training but there are a lot of people that do. You may refer to my last video on training
The drainage pipes are disigned in such a way that there is an overflow at a certain point. Like a sink but of course if quantity of water is too much then you might need to drain properly
Thank you, baby is fine. I don’t do consultancy. You may contact Dr.Kachaka of Breathing Fish Farm on +260 97 8751050 or Dr. Bbole of IBAN Aqua services on 096 6491256
Lovely, am digging 3 fish ponds3sizes 10 by 15 so this is helpful.by the way, how long do you have to use the aerator per day per pond or you invested each pond one aaeratorand i want to know the aerator is run by how many watts of solar panels.
wow thats nice to hear that you are digging. we use one aerator for 2 ponds because budget constraints otherwise we would want to have each with one because they are small fountain like. The watts I don't know need to ask electrician. I will get back to you
Hi I did give the cost of feed and labour but there could be cost of electricity for pumping water but I don't have it because I use solar. so sorry that is not complete
This is so kind. I have no plans to fish farm but it’s great to have transparency and insight on how to do it.
Thanks
This is very great. Have learnt so much. Wish many can pass by this video and learn to

Great info
Yes I have clay soil but am told pond liners make fish grow faster
Also that earthen pond fish have a muddy taste
I think its the opposite in terms of growth
Wow, this is nice. Simple and clear. Thanks for Sharing.

The drainage pipe resolves the flooding issue. The aereter is for oxygenating the pond and solar is what powers it since we have no zesco
You didn't mention about source of water how you got it from
This is what I have been looking for. Bless you. 👌👍💪💜🌹
Thanks am glad you found it

Thanks for this educative video. May l know where I can undergo training in fish farming.
Hello please contact breathing fish farm

THANK YOU NEFUNO.

You are Supper Afro Sis
Thank you 😊
Very inspiring Nefuno.
That is my dream.
Are the expencies almost latest ones?
I am right away writing a project proposal
Hi almost and thank you
Hi, i just began my fish farming journey, your videos are very informative! I want to find out about this estimated cost, is this the total cost per pond without the equipment?
Without water and other accessories that might not be needed immediately
You need to give the amount in $$$ dollar too because some people like me don't know what's kwacha (sorry if I wrote it wrong) 😅
Not at all, I get what you mean. The dollar to kwacha is 1: 16. Am sure you will be able to convert
Amazing works🥰😍
Many many thanks
Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Thank you so much
I would like to ask you how do you recycle the water on your pound ? and if you provide training for beginners.
Hi, we have not invested much in recycling the water. we just pump it directly to the small veg fields though not all of it. Its still work in progress. I don't provide training but there are a lot of people that do. You may refer to my last video on training
What is ideal water depth and pond depth?
either 2m or 1.5m on deeper end then the shallow end can be less by .5
@@NefunoKabwegreat thanks madam.i want to know what is the ideal to have flat botoms or as you point out 0.5m shallow to 1.5m or 2m deep end
I love this, but what's the source of your water....
borehole
Which is better in general for fish farming!! Concrete pond or your type of pond
Concrete lasts longer but is more expensive, I hear fish grows slower in concrete ponds. Am yet to see when I try
Am a student and i would like to access to your farm and learn more
No problem give me a call on 0965606403
Time to make my mother watch this. lol
Pease show her
How do you control rodent bites in farm lands which leads to damage the pond liner and water leakage ?
We have not had any or maybe we have not paid attention since we are still new at it
With the use of pond liners, I assume maintenance will be a factor. how often do you have to clean the liners?
We drain and add water at least once a week
@@NefunoKabwegreat thanks for your kind gesture. Kindly so how does one handle and/or treat fish stocks during draining periods
What happens when there's flooding?
The drainage pipes are disigned in such a way that there is an overflow at a certain point. Like a sink but of course if quantity of water is too much then you might need to drain properly
thank you afro sis
You are welcome 😊
Question how much fish can this hold and can you over stock this pond let say it can hold 500 can I put 750 instead just something I am wondering
am not sure I understand your question. however, we use 6 to 10 fingerlings per square meter
Why do some line their pond and others don't
Other have clay soil which holds water while others the soil does not hold water so they line to hold the water and prevent sipping
Thanks so much . you are a good teacher. but, do you offer consultancy services for fish farming? Congratulations on your your new born baby

Hi...thank you for the video. Can you please provide the brand of the aerator you used? I ones have seen are smaller than the one in the video.
I would have to check. will get back
Thank you. Will look forward to your response.
Pls what makes the water green....is it timing?
Fertilizing, we used chicken manure

How much is that in USD
currently the Kwacha is k22 to $1
I am in Botswana 🇧🇼 i don't know where to get pond liner can you help me where to get it thank you
hello, I don't know where you can get them from in your country but if you want to get them from Zambia. I can give you contacts for suppliers.
Please give me contact thank you so in Zambia 🇿🇲 you are doing very well in fish 🐠 farming and I will always need help from you people.
What is the cost of naturing fish from stocking point to harvest point?
Hi I did give the cost of feed and labour but there could be cost of electricity for pumping water but I don't have it because I use solar. so sorry that is not complete
What is the net profit for 4500 fingerlings? Assuming 1 pond holds 4500 fish.
We will get to that in another video
Hello, do you use monosex tilapia or mixte? Thank you
To some extent it’s mono. We use sex reversed
This total of 32000 is it for 1 pond or it’s for the 3 ponds that you made
For one
But prices have gone up
Beautiful but Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed???????????????????????????????????
thanks
Where did you get your aerator ?
from a Chinese shop behind cosmopolitan mall in MaKeni , Lusaka
Please tell me where (shop) you got the pond liner from.
