  1. Hi tilapia people,
    I have a waterhole that I was digging for a well by hand in mainly clay (terra cotter type). After two years I reckoned I may die down the hole and hired an excavator and he made a hole 21 feet deep and 18 feet across roughly in one day, ha ha.
    All the water I need but it has clay in solution making it cloudy. My horse and other animals , goats, chickens drink it no problems.
    I want to dig another water hole , perhaps 3 feet deep and 10 feet long and 4 or 5 feet wide near my water hole. I would fill the fish tank with the same water. Would the clay in the water harm the tilapia? I live in Western queensland, australia and it can frost in winter and up to 40 c in summer.
    Any advice or comments appreciated, Chris. Vaya con Dios.

  2. Hello, my name is Vic. I live in Ozamiz City. Tomorrow, August 13, 2020, I will start the concrete construction of my backyard tilapia pond. Since I am not yet in this undertaking before, may I ask some of your insights? The size of the pond is 12 feet by 17 feet with the depth of about 3 feet.I have a natural spring beside the pond. Excited to hear you soon. Thanks.
