NEEDED MATERIALS TO STARTUP A FISH FARM

1. Secure a Land: these is the first thing to consider before starting a fish farm, making sure your desired land doesn't affect the neighbors because after some time the water the fish is kept in smells.

2. Build a pond: the cost of these differs in different locations, but if you wouldn't be into these business I suggest you purchase imported pools(trampolines) so anytime you desire to stop you can always just pack it up.

3. Burrow a Borehole: these is the sole purpose of fish farming, absence of it might result to debacle since water should be changed on general interim, Rain water and faucet water from synthetically treated source isn't prescribed for fish development. And my advice is get a strong generator just in case you are in a country were electricity is a problem.

4. Introduce Overhead Tank: well I'm sure you already got these figured out when we talked about burrowing a borehole, incase you can't get tanks then you can dig a reservoir, but make sure to cover it.

With all these you are good to go, make sure to provide net coverings for your ponds.

NOW YOU ARE GOOD TO GO.....
