Will I need more than one pond to start a fish farm?

If you are starting out a fish farm, it is important to have it in mind you’ll eventually need more than one pond.

This is because, as the fishes grow, a time will come when the bigger fishes will start preying on (eating up) the smaller ones. At this point you will need to sort or separate the fishes so that the bigger ones can stay in one pond while the smaller ones stay in another. Sometimes you may even need to do a third sorting.

Hence, if you intend to raise about 1000 fishes to maturity, it is good get two or more ponds of smaller capacities than going for one big pond that will accommodate all the 1000 fishes at a go.
