CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What kind of environment do loaches live in? Can they be farmed?

Loaches are freshwater fish. Most loaches live in freshwater such as lakes, ponds, and ditches, and some live in moist soil. Specifically, loaches like to live at the bottom of the water and in places with abundant silt. There may be a layer of plant debris or other organisms above the silt, which will become food for loaches. In addition, loaches generally live in still water or waters with slow currents. They do not like waters with too fast currents.

1. What kind of environment does loach live in? Loach is an animal with strong adaptability and is widely distributed in my country. Loach is a fish and a freshwater fish. Therefore, many loaches live in freshwater. For example, rivers, lakes, ponds, ditches and other places may have a lot of loaches. Loach likes to live at the bottom of the basin, that is, where there is a lot of silt. There may also be some plant debris or other organisms on the upper layer of the silt, which may become food for loach.

Moreover, from the perspective of food, loaches generally live in places with abundant biological life, that is, places with more plants and animals, so that loaches can hunt more easily. Loaches do not like to live in places with too fast water flow, as such places will make them feel unable to adapt, so they prefer to live in an environment with slow water flow. However, there are some loaches that can live in places with less water and can adapt to life in the soil, but they need the soil to be moister.

2. Can loach be farmed? As mentioned above, loach is an animal with strong adaptability, and there are a lot of them in my country. Not only are there a large number of wild loach, but there are also a lot of farmed loach. Loach is one of the important fish species for artificial breeding. Since loach can be used as food and is rich in nutrients, the economic value of loach is relatively high. Since loach has good adaptability, does not have high requirements for water quality, and is not picky about food, it is not particularly difficult to farm loach.
