2. Carp generally only inhabit, swim and feed in the bottom layer of the water, and occasionally swim to the lower middle or upper middle layer to feed when the temperature is higher.

3. Carp like to live alone (or in small groups) in muddy streams, rivers, reservoirs, lakes, etc., and will eat fish eggs and seeds in the humus when feeding.

2.Prepare the pond:The pond should be dug to the right size and depth and lined with a suitable material such as clay or plastic. The pond should also have a drainage system to facilitate water exchange.

3. Pond stocking:Carp fry can be obtained from hatcheries or fish farms. The number of stocked fish will depend on the size of the pond and the expected market.

4.Feeding:Carp are omnivores and can be fed a variety of feeds including pellets, rice bran or vegetables. The amount of feed required depends on the size of the fish and the water temperature.

5. Monitor water quality:Water quality is critical to the health of your fish. Monitoring water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and ammonia levels is important to maintain good water quality.
