CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Raising loaches in a tank

1. Raising loaches in a tank

Dig a pond in the courtyard to raise loaches; for families with conditions. You can dig a fish pond or place a water tank in front of or behind the house or in the courtyard to raise loaches. Put a layer of soil at the bottom of the breeding pond or water tank to allow loaches to burrow and live, and keep the water depth at about 50 cm. Stock 1 kg of young loaches per square meter. During the breeding process, you can feed them with animal baits such as vegetable leaves, water plants, rice, bran, bean cakes, vegetable cakes, silkworms, animal waste, silkworm pupa powder, fish meal, etc. If conditions permit, it is best to make a compound bait and stir it into blocks for feeding. When breeding adult loaches, it is not advisable to feed too much animal bait, because loaches will have difficulty digesting if they eat too much.

Family breeding can also be self-breeding and self-raising. In the breeding season, as long as there is a slight amount of water flow stimulation in the small water body where the loach is raised, the loach will be able to lay eggs and reproduce, and hatch into juvenile loaches, and there are adult loach species.

Wooden box loach farming:

① Wooden box structure: The specifications of the wooden box for raising loach are 2-3 meters in length, 1-1.5 meters in width, and 0.8 meters in height. The inner wall is required to be smooth, and a 3 cm diameter filling and drainage port is opened on one or two sides of the box. Wire mesh is installed at the filling and drainage port and the box cover.

Fertilization and stocking: Pile soil and chopped straw or compost in the box (about 3 kg per box), and inject warm water to a depth of 30-50 cm above the soil layer. Bury several interconnected water pipes in the soil in the box to ensure water injection and drainage. Inject about 1.8-5 liters of water into each box. After 3-5 days, release about 2,000 loach per square meter. It is best to disinfect the fish before stocking.

Careful feeding: Feed is rice bran, snails, silkworm pupae, fish viscera, etc. Feed twice a day, 6-7 am and 1 pm. The daily feeding amount is 7-8% of the loach's body weight. It can be increased or decreased according to the loach's eating habits. The maximum feeding amount can reach 15% of the fish's body weight. Stir the lower layer of mud once every 10 days to facilitate the growth of the loach's natural bait. After feeding from April to November, the loach can gain 8-10 times its weight.

Daily management: Due to the high density of wooden box breeding, water quality management is very important. Remove the leftover bait every day, and observe the loach's eating and activities frequently. If the loach shows abnormal phenomena such as frequent intestinal breathing and sudden stop eating, the water should be changed immediately. Generally, the water should be changed once every 10 days (after changing the water, appropriate topdressing can be done). If sick loaches or dead loaches are found, they should be removed in time to prevent the spread of fish diseases. In the later stage of breeding, new water should be added appropriately or loaches that have reached the market specifications should be removed to reduce the density and promote growth.

It's a waste of talent, hahaha

2. Can loaches be raised at home?

Family Loach Farming

Loach is a warm-water fish that lives in the range of 15-30℃, with the most suitable water temperature range of 24-27℃. It is simple and easy for farmers to build ponds to raise loaches with low investment, quick returns and.

1. Build a pool: Build a pool in front of or behind the house, around the courtyard, in a place with water source, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun. The pool is usually made of bricks and stones, and the depth of the pool should be about 1 meter. After the pool is built, it is smoothed with cement, and after it dries, put in fertilizer mud.

3. Can loaches be raised without being exposed to the open air?

Loaches can be raised in places without sunlight.

Loaches like to live at the bottom of still water, often in lakes, ponds, ditches and paddy fields, and are highly adaptable to the environment. The living water temperature is 10-30℃, and the optimum water temperature is 25-27℃. When the water temperature rises to 30℃, loaches will dive into the mud to spend the summer. When the water temperature drops below 5℃ in winter, they will burrow into the mud 20-30cm deep to hibernate.

Plastic greenhouse farming

Pool building conditions.

The cement pond area should be 100-150 square meters, depending on the courtyard. The loach pond can be built above ground, underground or semi-underground, with inlet and outlet. The pond depth is 1.2-1.5 meters, and a drain outlet is set 30 cm from the bottom of the pond. Anti-escape facilities are installed, and the pond water depth is 0.8-1 meter. Before releasing the loach, put in 20 cm thick fat mud in advance, and clean and disinfect the loach pond 10-15 days before stocking. After 7 days, add 20-30 cm of water, put 0.3-0.5 kg of livestock and poultry manure per square meter, and then add water to 40-50 cm. After a few days, when the water color is yellow-green and the transparency is 15-25 cm, stock it.

Greenhouse installation.

It is built according to the method of setting up a vegetable greenhouse, with a single or double-layer structure. The material can be bamboo poles, and if conditions permit, a steel structure can be used. In addition, appropriate straw mats or curtains are required, and the plastic greenhouse is covered for insulation in winter.

Release loaches.

Before stocking loaches, they are usually immersed in 3%-5% salt water for 3-5 minutes to prevent Saprolegniasis and eliminate parasites on the body surface. The stocking density is about 25 kg per cubic meter of water. As the stocking volume increases and the fish weight increases, the pond water can be deepened to 0.8-1 meter (if conditions permit, the pond can be kept with micro-flowing water for better results). When loaches are put into the pond, the temperature difference must be prevented from being too large to prevent the loaches from catching a cold and causing death.

Feeding and management.

Loach is omnivorous, and its natural baits include small crustaceans, aquatic insects, snails, earthworms, animal offal, algae, rice bran, bean dregs, etc. When feeding, pay attention to the reasonable combination of animal and plant baits, and the feeding should be done in four ways. It is not necessary to feed when the water temperature is higher than 30℃ or lower than 10℃. During breeding, attention should be paid to fertilization. Manure should be sprinkled into the loach pond once every 4-5 days, 50-100 grams per square meter, and the water transparency should be maintained at 15-25 cm. The water should be changed in time. The water in the loach pond should be changed twice a week, and the water should be changed by 30 cm each time (if there is a micro-flow in the pond, there is no need to change the water frequently, but the water quality should be prevented from deteriorating). The sunbathing pond should be filled with tap water regularly to ensure sufficient water supply.

4. Is loach easy to raise?

Loach is just a common native fish. If it is an ordinary loach, just throw it into the water and let it find algae by itself. There is no need to feed it. Loach is a bottom fish and is commonly found in shallow waters such as lakes, ponds, rice fields, ditches, etc. with deep bottom mud.

Loach appearance

The living water temperature is 10-30℃, and the optimum water temperature is 25-27℃, so it should be a warm-water fish. When the water temperature rises to 30℃, loaches will dive into the mud to spend the summer. When the water temperature drops below 5℃ in winter, they will burrow into the mud 20-30cm deep to hibernate. They have strong adaptability to low-oxygen environments. In addition to gill breathing, they can also breathe through the skin and intestines. Their vision is very weak, but their sense of touch and taste are extremely sensitive. They are omnivorous, and feed on animal baits in the juvenile stage, such as zooplankton, chironomid larvae, and silk earthworms. When they grow up, the range of baits expands. In addition to eating a variety of insects, they can also eat filamentous algae, plant roots, stems, leaves, and humus. Adult loaches mainly feed on plant food. They usually feed at night. They stop feeding when the water temperature is below 10℃ and above 30℃.

Generally, loaches live in the soil and will burrow into the soil as quickly as possible when they are in danger.

There is no need to feed loaches with more bait, just feed other fish. The uneaten bait and feces of fish are the food source of loaches.
