There are many types of ponds that are used for cultivation including soil ponds, permanent concrete, how to grow catfish in tarpaulin pools, and others. better adapted to the state of the surrounding environment first.

Prepare a pool that will be used either from tarpaulins or the other. Do the drying first, aiming to kill the fungus and the disease. After that, liming and fertilization can be done. natural feed derived from organic fertilizers, such as manure and compost. Leave it for a few days to grow plankton. Do not forget, use fertilizer according to dosage and dosage.

Catfish seedlings are ready to be maintained. Many types of catfish seeds are marketed each type of catfish seedlings has their respective advantages. Whatever type of seed is important the seed is classified as superior and quality seeds.

Classified as quality seeds have tanada like:

• Resistant to pests and diseases
  -Have agile and active movements
• Complete body members

For enlargement it is better to use catfish seedlings with a size of about 7 cm with an age of around 2 months, with the size of all the catfish are relatively the same.In order to grow simultaneously large.If using seeds with a size of less than 7 cm for enlargement requires more time.

If the pond is ready, the seeds are also ready to be sown. Distribution of seeds is adjusted to the size of the pond so that later when it is large it is not too dense resulting in catfish not being free to move. For water quality must be really clean water.

Catfish is an animal that has a greedy appetite, catfish feed is a problem faced by catfish farmers. Sometimes pellets sold in stores are more expensive, this makes farmers think creatively to make their own feed from waste materials such as rice bran, corn flour, and other fish waste.

Catfish are animals that eat more foods that are classified as animal. So feeding should not be late, if it is too late the larger catfish will attack smaller-sized catfish and eat it.

For feed every day it usually uses pellet feed that is still good. must be fed twice a day in the morning and evening. Feed is given according to the size of the weight of the catfish and also the population.

Apart from the main feed there is also additional feed consisting of live or dead feed. The provision of additional feed greatly saves funds for the purchase of feed. For water must be replaced every 1 to 2 weeks by leaving a quarter of the pond water pool and then filled with a mixture clean water.

Harvesting can be done with a weight of about 10 birds per kilo with a period of approximately three months or according to the size ready for consumption. Harvesting can be done by draining pond water in advance to facilitate harvesting.
