| Since my place will be a new place and the state will more than likely come out on a regular basis and make sure I am following their requirment. If I dont follow the guide lines that wont let me sell fish. My Dad was in the nursery business for 25 years and when he first started they came offen. Then they would come around at least twice a year. If they saw any bad plant he had to burn them. If he did not they would shut him down. There are not that many pages for sure but when you get started doing something they seam to alway come up with something. If they do fish like they do plants around here that could run into a problem for me . I would hate to have to kill sick fish if I could get them well. I am sure they are strick about health problem thought and I can understand why. I do believe that if a farm in Ga is found to have health problems they will shut me down untill problem is solved.
As for koi being used as bait I dont think you can because I dont know of anyone that sell koi for bait. I would think that the Ga. law would not let us do that since koi are not common in this area. Nobody I know sells grass carp for bait fish, The only thing that I think they will let u use is fish common to this state. Even though the koi carp come from the common carp I still dont think I would be allowed to sell as bait fish. I think they would make good bait with all that color bass I think would snap em up quick.
Steve could I make a net to put my koi in out of pvc or would it float. I think I could buy enough netting to make one to use, and if I do how big do you think I should make it? Or would it be cheaper just to buy one. I would think a large pen would cost quite a bit.
I am hopeing that since my fish farm will be in a controlled enviroment that I wont have any problem their. I guess I need to call them in so I can make sure that I am going by all the quidelines before I get to far along and then they tell me I done something wrong, and have to go back and redo. You would be suprised what the state will come up with when they darn well please. If they dont like you he can give you one hell of a problem as I have saw this happen with other people.
They are through digging my ponds and I cant wait to start filling them. They say that they are only four foot deep but I swear that they look like they are 8 foot deep, they used a thingy to get the depth that I wanted but I believe something was wrong with the thing cause I know it would be over my head if I stood in the middle after fillling the ponds. I am going to take some more pics this weekend after I get some seed and hay out and show you guys the results and you to will see what I am talking about I am going to stand in the bottom of the pond and let Jack take some pics. I hope they are not as deep as I think they are but if they are I can always lower the ponds when I do my spawn. I just did not want to put air in each pond, but I believe I am going to have to do this, I dont know what you call that thingy but I am sure they are off on the depth. I watched the tractor go in the ponds and the ponds just ate it up and its a big tractor. The pic that I posted are not even close to what the finished pond is like. Maybe the pics will show you enough that you can tell what I am talking about . I am going to take a poll and lay across the top and take a mesurement so I can tell for sure. |
