4. Can live red worms be fed directly to fish?

Can't.

Live bloodworms for feeding fish need to be washed two or three times with salt water, and then disinfected with ozone or potassium permanganate. After disinfection and sterilization, wash them several times with clean water and feed them to fish.

When disinfecting live bloodworms, breeders are advised to avoid using potassium permanganate for disinfection. Potassium permanganate itself is toxic, and it is easy to leave residues after disinfection and rinsing with clean water, which will be harmful to the health of fish.

Live bloodworms have high nutritional value and are rich in protein, which can promote the growth and development of fish. However, it is recommended that breeders feed frozen bloodworms to avoid live worms carrying parasites and thus infecting fish.

Bloodworms are similar to common mosquitoes, but the main difference is that they have densely covered fine hairs on their antennae, just like feathers. Chironomid larvae are rich in nutrients, with protein content accounting for 41% to 62% of dry matter and fat accounting for 2 to 8%. In aquaculture, chironomid larvae have many advantages: suitable size, good palatability, and comprehensive nutrition.
