1. What do catfish eat? What do catfish eat? What are their habits?

Catfish is called bearded fish in our family because it has four long whiskers. There are many types of bearded catfish, which are also common catfish in our family, such as catfish, bigmouth catfish and slippery catfish. They have big heads and slippery bodies. They are much larger than ordinary fish. When I was a child, it took a lot of effort for my father to catch catfish. Although many people like to eat catfish in life, few people know what catfish eat.

To know what catfish like to eat, you must first understand the habits of catfish in order to know what it eats. Catfish are nocturnal fish. They like to live in the middle and lower layers of lakes, creeks, and rivers. They like dark living spaces and most of their activities are in the coastal areas of lakes and rivers. They hide themselves most of the time during the day and are active at night. They are also one of the few non-marine fish that are carnivorous.

Catfish in the wild prey mainly feed on other fish and shrimps that are smaller than them, such as crucian carp, loach, shrimp, etc. They have sharp teeth, and they usually use their teeth to hold their prey tightly, leaving them no chance to escape, and then slowly enjoy their meal when the prey is no longer alive. They have a large appetite and usually hunt two to three times a day.

People usually feed catfish some small fish, shrimps, and sometimes chicken and duck meat, which are chopped up and fed to them. The amount of food is generally about half of their body weight, and the feeding time is generally about three times a day. The reason why catfish are fed so many times is that they are very fierce. When they are hungry, they will eat their own kind and fight cruelly.

Studies have found that catfish can also eat dead things, and they grow faster by eating dead things. For example, wild catfish may not be treated as well as artificially raised catfish, but they have abundant resources and will eat some dead animal carcasses when they can't get food. This is all normal, after all, they have a wide range of diets.

Catfish are carnivores that feed on small fish and shrimps. Basically, anything smaller than them will become food. Catfish are afraid of light and like to live in dark places. The suitable temperature is about 20 degrees.

Catfish is a carnivorous fish that mainly feeds on small fish, such as crucian carp, shrimp, etc. Catfish are relatively ferocious and generally live in lakes, reservoirs, etc. They like to forage at night.

It eats some small carp. This kind of catfish likes to live in groups, and especially likes the soil near the sea.

3. What do catfish fry eat?

Catfish is carnivorous. It feeds on many small fish, such as whitebait and anchovy, carp, loach, etc. It also eats shrimps and mainly eats raw food. The main function of its teeth is to prevent food from escaping.

The key issue in the fry cultivation stage is the starter feed. Therefore, before the fry are put into the pond, they must first be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with quicklime or bleaching powder, and then organic fertilizers (cow and horse manure, etc.) are applied to fertilize the water quality, so that zooplankton can multiply in large quantities and ensure that the fry will have abundant and palatable feed (such as rotifers, cladocerans, etc.) after they are put into the pond. In the later stage, they can be fed with paste feed or micro-granular feed made of fish meal and flour. After 15-20 days of cultivation, when the body length is 3-5 cm, they can be taken out of the pond and raised in rice fields.

Catfish is a carnivorous fish and should eat aquatic microorganisms, small fish insects, and even small fish and shrimps.

What do the young fish eat? They should grow naturally. I suggest you search online. The answers there are very comprehensive and correct.

4. What kind of feed do catfish feed, and what are the breeding conditions and requirements?

Farmed catfish are generally fed with compound feed made of water fleas, water earthworms, cooked pig blood, fish meal, silkworm pupae, etc. The water in the fish pond generally needs to be replaced every 10-15 days, and generally 1/3 of the water volume is sufficient. During the breeding process, the feed should be fed reasonably, and the feed should not be too much each time to avoid the catfish eating too much and blocking the esophagus. In addition, the feed fed to catfish during the seedling stage should be chopped.

1. What kind of feed do catfish feed?

1. Artificially bred catfish mainly eat compound feed made of water fleas, water earthworms, cooked pig blood, fish meal, silkworm pupae, etc. You can start fertilizing the water quality about 7 days before stocking the fry. Fertilizing the water quality is relatively simple. You can plant some plants similar to water lilies on the water surface, which can not only fertilize the water quality but also provide shade.

2. The water in the fish pond must be replaced every 10-15 days. The amount of water changed each time is 1/3. When the water quality is yellow-green, it means that the water quality is good, and there is no need to optimize the water quality. When catfish are found to frequently float to the surface, it is necessary to turn on the oxygenation equipment, because when fish have this reaction, it means that they are lacking oxygen.

3. During the breeding process, the feed must be reasonable. The amount of feed each time should not be too much. If the catfish eats too much, it will easily block the esophagus. When feeding catfish in the seedling stage, the feed must be chopped up, which is conducive to the feeding and digestion of the young fish. At the age of 2 months, you can feed them granular feed. At the same time, in order to ensure balanced nutrition, you can also add some protein to the feed.

2. Catfish farming conditions and requirements

1. When breeding catfish, there must be a clean water source. Try to build a pond in a place with sufficient running water. The water retention of the pond must also be good and it must not be permeable. You can plant a moderate amount of non-spreading aquatic plants in the pond, which can provide a habitat for catfish.

2. Two weeks before stocking catfish, the water in the pond must be drained, and then the entire pond must be cleaned with quicklime solution, and then soaked in water for 1 week to clean the pond. Fill the pond with clean water and soak it for 2 days before stocking. Before stocking, the fry must be soaked in light salt water or other disinfectant solution for 20 minutes for sterilization.

3. Generally, 20,000 fry can be placed in one acre of pond. The size of the fry must be uniform, and they cannot be too large or too small to avoid uneven growth. The time of placement should also be noted. It is generally better to place them at noon when the temperature is suitable, so that the fry can easily adapt to the environment.

4. You can start feeding the fish a few hours after putting them in. You can make some grains into powder, then mix them with water and knead them into balls to feed the fish. This will prevent them from loosening too quickly. You can also feed them some shell meat and snail meat, but they must be chopped before feeding them.

5. You can also fertilize the water and cultivate natural bait for fish to eat. Be sure to change the water in time and keep the water flowing. Prevent the fish from escaping on rainy days. Pay attention to oxygenation in hot weather to avoid fish from hypoxia and keep sufficient oxygen in the water.
