Plan your pond before you buy a single fish
Enter your pond size and we will sketch how many fingerlings it might hold, how much feed a cycle could need, and what that might cost at our example prices.

Which pond suits you?
Earthen pond
Cheapest to build where the soil holds water. Natural food grows in it. Needs space and a dry season for draining.
Concrete tank
Lasts for years, easy to clean, good for small compounds. Costs more to build; needs regular water changes.
Tarpaulin tank
Quick to set up and move. A good first pond for learning. Protect it from sun and sharp edges.

FAQ
Is the harvest figure guaranteed?
No. It is an example based on our own ponds. Water quality, feed, weather and care all change the result.
Can I stock more fish than the planner suggests?
You can, but crowded fish grow slower and fall sick more often. We suggest starting below the maximum.
Will you visit my site?
Yes. A site visit within 40 km of Uyo costs ₦25,000 (example rate), refunded if you buy your fingerlings from us.
