What I am intrested in knowing is whether to use chicken manure or kow manure . The length of time before spawning beds should be prepared .
I was thinking of making a liner pond 20x 40 ft for first try about 4ft deep .
Should I put some clay or sand at the bottom . How much manure would I put down in a pond this size . How much water would I need covering the manure . would it be necessary to cover this pond with netting so that dragonfly do not breed . How much temperature flunctuation will fry tolerate is it necessary to use a cover at night . In a small pond will I need filtration or if I can do a complete water change from my mud pond be sufficient . My female is 27in Sanke but will not be 4 yr at spawning time should I wait another year . What about the hatch should I put it all into the fry pond am I risking overcrowding and starvation . These are but a few questions going through my mind
Regards
Eugene
