Stocking Freshwater Prawns Juveniles

Stocking 400 + Freshwater Prawn Juveniles in 10ft. above ground swimming pool. Pool was filled with water about 2 weeks earlier. I was waiting to make sure water condition is good and algae is growing before stocking. This is a test to see the growth rate from feeding with pellets, natural algae and plants matters and just feeding with pellets.

Which is the best food for freshwater prawns to grow fast?

[@KTPrawns]

Any high protein sinking pellets shrimp feed with calcium is good. Or use sinking pellets for Catfish & Tilapia.

hey could i use a intex pool with a saltwater stock pump to grow my prawns kt?

[@KTPrawns]

TheRhyse19 Hi. sure you can. you'll need to fill the pool with water and let it sit with pump running for about a week before adding the Prawns.

[@TheRhyse19]

KT Prawns thanks i did my research was just skeptical abt that . it would save me time and money. making a breeding box above the pool so the larve will flow into the pond and the parents in the box. also making a raceway substrate so i harvest from each one different times for continous operation. Your thoughts please?

[@nunusvlog7629]

Im also like to start prawns farming so need help frm you please guide me what they eat how the live

[@KTPrawns]

Feed them any sinking game fish pellets food is fine. In the wild they eat small fish, snails and dead plant matters..

[@VaughnMalecki]

Do you have a filter or air pump?

[@KTPrawns]

I used air pump but no filter. Green water is good for the Shrimps.

[@VaughnMalecki]

KT Prawns thank you. God bless you.

[@sam9402]

[@KTPrawns]

It take about 4 months for them to reach adult size and will get bigger over time.
