How to start the Fish farming business using the mobile tarpaulin fish ponds in Nigeria.

With the growing population in the country and the need to address the disequilibrium that exists between the demand and supply of fish in Nigeria, I see it as a good idea for people to engage in the fish farming business.



Recently, fish farming has revolutionized into the use of Mobile fish ponds that are movable, cheaper and pretty much better when compared to the Concrete Ponds which cost a lot to set up and constitute a major problem for people who do not have permanent land of theirs.

When the thoughts of starting up a Fish farm business arises, there are various important steps to take and they are outlined below;

Step one

Clearing: if you are planning to set up your mobile fish pond on the bare ground where they might be grass or sand, it is advisable that you clear the entire surrounding in order to get rid of weeds, broken bottles, sharp stones which may cause harm when to your pond.

But, if you intend to set up your pond on a cemented floor, you have no worries about clearing grasses but still ensure that the area is free from broken bottles.

Step two

Take measurement: now that you can see the whole field clearly, go ahead and take accurate measurement of the area you intend to set up your ponds in order to know the dimension you will purchase and how many you intend to buy.

Step three



Purchasing your pond: after you have taken measurement, I consider this the best time to buy your Reinforced Tarpaulin ponds. The recommended and trusted seller of Tarpaulin fish ponds across Nigeria is the Benuwatts Company Limited. To the best of my knowledge, they specialize in very high quality tarpaulin ponds suitable for fish farming. They produce different sizes of ponds and even give customers the chance to request for customized dimensions. They also offer product delivery across all states in the country and one good thing I like about their company is their good customer service.

Feel free to visit their website at www.benuwatts.com, whenever you wish to start your fish farm business.

Step four

Leveling the ground: while waiting for your Reinforced Tarpaulin pond to get delivered to you, fill your ground with sand and use a Rhama to level the entire place. It is advisable to level the ground in such a way that it is sloping – i.e from high to low. The lower side should be the place where the drainage for waste water will be situated.

If you are setting it up on a cemented floor, then it is not necessary to level the ground.

Step five

Good water supply: ensure that you have good access to water supply as the fishes will be needing enough water to survive.

Step six

Buying and raising your fishes: after receiving your pond and setting it up, you should go ahead and buy your fishes.  Always make research and ask questions from those who are/have been into fish farming (maybe a friend, family member or a fish farmer) in order to gather knowledge on how to raise and carter for your fishes including where to buy their feeds around your vicinity.


Hope this guide will be of great help to you.
