Fish Agitators & Pond Aerators

Aerators are an essential piece of equipment for any catfish farm, as they help keep the water oxygenated and circulating. This is important for fish health, as well as the overall water quality.

It is important to choose an aerator that is the right size for your pond, as well as one that is durable and easy to maintain. You will also want to consider the different features that each type of aerator offers to find one that best suits your needs.

For example, diffused air aerators are a good choice for small- to medium-sized ponds, as they are less likely to create waves or turbulence. Surface aerators are better suited for larger ponds as they provide more oxygenation and circulation. Submersible aerators are a good option for deep ponds, as they can reach the bottom of the pond where the fish are.
