- Aeration
- Constant supply of water
- Control of predators
- Prevention of diseases

We need to feed them at least three time in a day, in the morning, afternoon and the evening.
Deweeding and Desilting
We need to keep the reservoir clean, you can use a skimmer net to collect and remove leaves and other light debris.
You can also use sludge to remove the dirt because they can release poisonous gases into the pond while then organic matters are decaying.

Control of predators
The environment of the pond must be neat and clean do that reptiles will not creep in and kill the fishes

- Clap net
- Set net
- Trawler with seine net or fishing trawler
- Fish traps, gill net, fishing basket, harpoon or spear. .
Regular application of fertilizer
You can boost the growth and development of the fish with a suitable fertilizer which you can apply every 5 weeks. Since some aquatic animals use the plants as food, keep them as healthy as possible.
Do not use toxic fertilizers or inorganic pesticides.
Conclusion, I believe if you can follow this post to the letters, you will have a beautiful and attractive fish pond.
