CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How can red worms live longer?

1. How can red worms live longer?

Most fishing tackle stores sell red worm boxes. There are two sponges in the box. Wet the sponges and put the red worms in. You can also find some sponges and dig on the sponges.

Make a hole, put the red worms in it, cover it with a sponge, and that’s it!

2. How should I preserve the bloodworms that I use to feed fish so that they will not die if they are not eaten up? Is there any good method?

Let me tell you, the red worms must be frozen to death before they can be fed to fish. There are two types of red worms, male and female. Male ones are usually used for fishing, and female ones are used for feeding fish. If the male ones are eaten by fish, the fish is likely to die. Put the red worms in a plastic bag, flatten it, and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator. When feeding, just take off a piece and feed it to the fish!

3. Where do the red worms used for fishing come from?

A large number of larvae can breed in sewage and stagnant water. Most chironomid larvae feed on organic matter in water. In silt or water bodies rich in organic matter, they can reproduce in large numbers due to the lack of natural enemies such as fish and shrimp. In the north, there are usually two generations a year, and April-May and September-October are the breeding seasons of chironomids (varies in different regions).

At present, bloodworms are artificially bred as feed.

Artificially bred blood worms are mostly used as food for fishing and home-raised tropical fish.

Red worms have another ability, which is that they can live in a relatively oxygen-deficient environment because they have hemoglobin in their bodies, which is why they are blood red.

If you can’t use the red worms you bought, you can preserve them using the following method, and the effect is quite good!

One way is to find a small wooden box, then find some sand, wash it clean, and put the sand into the wooden box (the sand must be wet).

Then put the red worms in and put it in the refrigerator. If the sand is a little dry, you can sprinkle it on top.

Moisten it with water and pour it out when you use it. Most of the red worms are alive. Of course, don't put them in the refrigerator.

It’s too long, more than a week will be fine!

Another method is to use a clean old towel, wet it with water, wrap the insect in double or multiple layers, and place it on the

Keep it fresh in the refrigerator, but do not freeze it, as it will become useless if it is frozen to death.

Every day, the dead and dying insects should be removed.

Remove the seeds (they become darker and softer). This way they can be stored for about a week.

Everyone may have a better method. I hope that anglers who have good methods can share them!

My personal experience: Use a small square box (preferably a small wooden box for raising earthworms) and find an old towel (the size of the towel should be 1 times the size of the small box). Wet the towel and put the red worms on the towel and then in the small box, and put it in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping room.

In this way, after 3 days, take out the red worms and put them in a small basin (the basin should be half full of water), then take out the live red worms and take out the dead ones. That's how the red worms can live for about 1 month. That's it.

In the natural environment, red worms mainly feed on bacteria, yeast, algae and organic debris (fragments of plants and animals). To cultivate red worms artificially, you need to prepare the culture medium in advance. The culture medium can be diluted with 1 egg yolk and 10 kg of water. The temperature is kept at 18-25℃. The worms grow very fast and reproduce in large numbers. In the process of cultivating red worms, ensure that there is enough feed.

Use a small square box (preferably a small wooden box for earthworms) and find an old towel (the size of the towel is 1 times the size of the small box). Make the towel damp and then put the red worms on the towel and then put it in the small box, and put it in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping room. In this way, after 3 days, take out the red worms and put them in a small basin (the small basin should be half full of water), then take out the living red worms and take out the dead ones. That's it. Red worms can live for about 1 month. That's it.

4. How to keep red worms alive in winter

To raise red worms in winter, you can put them in a glass container, add clean water to it, and then put it in the refrigerator, which can keep the red worms alive for a long time. You can also put the red worms in a basin containing mud and water, which will keep them alive the longest. You can also put them in a plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator.

How to raise red worms in winter

To raise red worms in winter, breeders can refrigerate them. The red worms need to be placed in a glass container, and clean water is added to it, and then placed in the refrigerator. The clean water is replaced every 1 to 2 days, which can keep the red worms alive for a long time.

In winter, breeders can also use soil to preserve red worms. The red worms need to be placed in a basin with water and sand in the sun, so that the red worms can survive the longest, but it is more difficult to separate the worms when using them.

When raising red worms in winter, breeders can also store them in plastic bags. The red worms need to be placed in a plastic bag and then placed in the refrigerator, where they can be stored for about half a month.

5. How to store red worms for 60 days

Learn the tricks of keeping red worms fresh in one minute! There are 3 methods for you to choose from, and they can be kept for half a month.

1. Potato preservation method

The method is very simple. Find a larger potato (or carrot), split it in the middle, hollow out the inside with a spoon, put the red worms in, cover it with the other half and secure it with a toothpick, then wrap it with a wet towel and put it in a cool place.

This method is the most common and is very easy to operate. Some anglers reported that they could store the red worms for a month, but some others said that this was not possible as they died within a few days.

The key issue still lies in the indoor temperature. It must be cool and humid, and the surrounding temperature cannot be too high.

2. Use earthworm boxes to preserve food

At the fishing tackle store, earthworms cost two or three yuan a box, which is much cheaper than red worms. If all else fails, you can just go to the river and pick up two.

After preparing the earthworm box, prepare a sponge, dip it in water and place it on the bottom of the box, then put the red worms in it, then take another sponge and dip it in water, place it on top of the red worms, finally cover it with a lid and place it in a cool place.

What if you can't find a sponge? You can use paper towels instead and wet them all.

Open the lid every two days and check. If the paper towel is dry, remember to sprinkle some water on it. You can also put some fruit peels at the bottom of the box, so that the red worms will be fatter!

3. Soil + tea leaves to raise red worms

Prepare a box, the earthworm box mentioned above will do, then go to the river to get some silt, remove the impurities in the mud, dry it a little, then mix in some leftover tea leaves, and then put the red worms in.

Of course, the soil used to hold earthworms can also be used, but it is best to wash it several times with water to remove the impurities in it.

The status of red worm bait has always been very high in the bait world, which fully demonstrates how effective red worm fishing is. Whether it is in a black pit or in the wild, it will have good results. More importantly, red worms can be used no matter what season it is, unlike other commercial baits that are restricted by seasons.

Many anglers think that the quality of the red worms they buy is not very good, so some fishermen with ideas will choose to raise red worms themselves, so that they will not be restricted by the fishing tackle store. If you are also an angler who wants to use the red worms you raise yourself in fishing, you might as well learn some more skills in raising and preserving red worm bait.

Tips for raising red worm bait:

1. The small red worm bait also needs to breathe, so we have to choose a container that has a large range of contact with the air to hold them. Generally speaking, the contact area between the open container and the air is larger. There should be air holes in the porcelain where the red worms are placed, otherwise, the red worm bait is likely to be suffocated. In addition, the porcelain should be placed indoors or in other places with relatively high temperatures. The temperature in the area where the red worms are located cannot be below zero degrees, otherwise it will easily freeze the red worm bait to death if there is ice. There is no need for too much water in the container, just enough to cover the red worm bait. Change the water about every three days, dry the water before fishing, and then wrap it with paper.

2. Place the red worm bait in a lighted place. Because red worms are in the mud or after being unearthed, they are very sensitive to light. In other words, light has a great promoting effect on the growth of red worm bait. Of course, the light that red worm bait needs is not the kind of very bright light. As long as there is a little brightness, they can live well.

3. You can feed them with simple bait made of yeast powder soaked in water, but the amount of food you feed must be strictly controlled. It is better to feed less than too much. Moreover, before feeding, make sure that the yeast powder has been dispersed by water.

4. Using pond water to raise red worms is also a good method. Find a larger porcelain basin, put the red worm bait in it, and then pour the pond water into it, which can provide a particularly comfortable living environment for the red worm bait.

5. The method of preserving red worms in summer is also very simple. Just find a towel that can absorb water quickly, wet it with cold water, wring out the water in the towel, then wrap the red worm bait, and put the two together in the refrigerator. The preservation temperature is best set at around zero degrees, so that the red worm bait can be stored for about half a month without dying.
