COMMON TYPES OF FISH TO STOCK<br />Fish Type Advantages Commonly Used In<br />Grass carp Large, hardy, eats grass bait Hand-fishing ponds, service ponds<br />Common carp Easy to catch, eats various baits Service ponds, competition ponds<br />Catfish Tough, aggressive bites Recreational fishing ponds<br />Tilapia Inexpensive, fast-breeding Small ponds<br />Snakehead Popular in southern Vietnam Natural or lure ponds<br />White pacu Strong bites, exciting to catch Sport ponds<br />Silver carp Helps clean water, not ideal for catching Often used for water treatment<br />📏 2. RECOMMENDED STOCKING DENSITY<br /><br /> Small pond (300–500 m²):<br /> ➤ 300 – 500 fish (depending on species and average weight 1–2 kg/fish)<br /><br /> Medium pond (around 1,000 m²):<br /> ➤ 800 – 1,000 fish, mix 2–3 species<br /><br /> Large pond (over 2,000 m²):<br /> ➤ 1,500 – 3,000 fish, divide zones and match fish types<br /><br />📌 Note: For large fish (over 3 kg), reduce number to avoid oxygen shortage.<br />💡 3. BEST TIME & METHOD TO STOCK FISH<br />⏰ Best Time:<br /><br /> Early morning or late afternoon<br /><br /> Avoid hot midday hours<br /><br />✅ Proper Fish Stocking Method:<br /><br /> Float the fish bag on pond water for 15–30 minutes to equalize temperature.<br /><br /> Open the bag and allow fish to swim out naturally — avoid dumping them quickly.<br /><br /> Add probiotics or vitamin C to reduce stress for the fish.<br /><br />⚠️ 4. IMPORTANT NOTES<br /><br /> Test pond water quality (pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen).<br /><br /> Never stock sick fish — choose healthy sources.<br /><br /> When stocking large numbers, consider using aeration or regular water changes.<br /><br /> Monitor fish for 2–3 days after stocking to ensure they adapt well.
