CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What food can loach eat to survive and how to raise it

1. What food can loach eat to survive and how to raise it

Wild loaches generally need to eat plankton or aquatic insects to survive, while farmed loaches need to eat small fish and other animal feeds as well as an appropriate amount of plant feed, such as wheat bran or grains. Because farmed loaches are easier to get food than wild loaches, and their lack of activity leads to a decrease in their digestive ability, feeding them an appropriate amount of plant feed can help loaches digest better.

1. What food does loach eat to survive?

1. In nature, loaches need to eat plankton, aquatic insects, crustaceans, algae and other foods to survive, while loaches in artificial breeding environments generally need to eat animal feed such as fish meal, animal offal, earthworms, small fish meat, and an appropriate amount of plant feed such as soybean meal, rapeseed meal, wheat bran, and grains to survive.

2. Compared with wild loaches, artificially cultivated loaches are easier to obtain food, eat more, and are less active. Therefore, their digestive ability is not as good as that of wild loaches. Although loaches can hardly digest plant protein and cellulose, they still need to be provided with an appropriate amount of plant feed when they are artificially bred to promote digestion.

3. Wild loaches usually come out to hunt at night, while artificially cultivated loaches will also eat during the day. Their appetite is related to the temperature. They eat vigorously when the temperature is 25-30℃. When the temperature is below 20℃, their appetite begins to decline and their growth rate slows down.

2. How to prepare loach feed~! What are the main ingredients? Can anyone tell me? Thank you;

Loach does not require too much protein in feed, a content of 30-35% is good; the main raw materials are silkworm pupae, fish meal, soybean meal, rapeseed meal, bran, wheat, corn, etc.

Eggs are OK.

3. What feed do loaches eat?

Loach belongs to the class Pisces and the family Cobitidae. It is a warm-water fish with strong vitality. It likes to live in rice fields and ponds with water all year round. It has a wide range of food habits and strong reproductive capacity. It lives at the bottom of still water and in humus-containing mud and likes to move at the bottom. It comes out at night to look for food, and mainly feeds on insects, flat snails, and aquatic plants, and also eats humus. The intestinal wall of loach is thin, the intestinal tube is straight, and there are many blood vessels, so it can breathe. When there is a lack of oxygen in the water, it can breathe with its intestines in addition to its gills. This phenomenon often occurs before sudden climate changes and low-pressure rainstorms. In winter, when the water dries up, it drills into the mud and relies on the humid environment to breathe with its intestines to maintain its life.

All animals, plants, microorganisms and organic debris in water or mud are good food for it.

You can make it yourself or buy complete loach feed. If you don't have it, you can buy carp feed! You can't feed all active feed, otherwise it will cause protein poisoning.

Fish food, turtle food, small loaches, and soil.

4. How to prepare loach feed yourself

Special loach feed for paddy field breeding: cornmeal, barley malt, buckwheat, second flour, soybean meal, dracaena, chironomid larvae powder, fish meal, stone powder, bagasse, albizzia leaf, lotus powder, appropriate amount of salt, and attractant. The prepared loach feed, based on the paddy field breeding environment and the omnivorous characteristics of loach, appropriately adds chironomid larvae powder, fish meal, dracaena, albizzia leaf and other raw materials, which can meet the nutrients required for the rapid growth and development of loach, promote the digestion and absorption of loach, improve the utilization rate of feed, accelerate growth, and thus effectively increase the breeding output.
