3. Change your pond water regularly. Remember that proper oxygenation is highly important for productivity in fish farming

4. Feed your fish with a quality feed that has essential nutrients and vitamins which could improve the performance of your fish. I know many fish farmers who failed woefully because of cheap feed mentality. True.
