Let us guide you through the right way to stock your dam or pond to keep the eco system running smoothly from the start.
Clean Dam
To build dams or ponds these days is expensive and therefore it is important to stock dams with the right species and the right quantity of fish. The simple reason being all dams need fish to keep the dams clean and to keep each dams eco system under control.
In general there will be a balance in the ecological system with the fish supplied and the dams will be clean year after year.
Tilapia Sparmanii, Banded Tilapias, Vlei Kurper
Oreochromis Mozambicus, Blue Tilapias, Blou Kurper
Pseudocrenilabrus Philander, Dwarf Tilapias, Dwerg Kurper
Tilapia Rendali, Redbreast Tilapias, Rooibors Kurper
Barbus Paleodinosus, Straight Fin Barbs, Ghieliemientjie
All these fish species mentioned will contribute to the cleaning of the dams.
In summer season when it gets very hot as well as with the rain together the phosphates, nitrates,
and lightning and heat algae starts to grow aggressively. All of the above promotes the
growth of all different kinds of water plants, weeds and water grass.
Algae Invested Dam
All of these mentioned will take a dam over in less than a season. If a dam were stocked right from the beginning these problems would be solved and stopped. You will also attract the most beautiful birdlife for instance the fish eagle etc.
Dam With Excess Algae Problems
-
The Banded Tilapia and the Redbreast Tilapia will eat and take care of the soft to the medium plant materials. Like the sprouts of all water plants.
-
The Blue Tilapia takes care of the algae and slime in and on top of the water surface.
-
The Dwarf Tilapia takes care of living organisms like mosquitoes, bacteria and small frogs.
-
The Ghieliemientjie are excellent breeding fish and breeds every 60 days in summer and will attract the most beautiful bird life. They also take care of mosquitoes problems.
-
We also sell Black Bass which is an excellent fish for angling, but it is very important to first stock a dam with the Tilapia species before you introduce Bass into a dam.
-
The Blue Tilapia and Redbreast Tilapia grow up to 3kg in natural dams and are also very popular angling fish.

Our secret to success concerning our future of our dams is pretty simple really – passion
for our environment! We really love what we do and Endeavour to do it well. For us,
recruitment isn’t a job, it’s a vocation.
