Bloodworms, also known as "water fleas" and "water earthworms", are commonly known as "worm fish". People who love goldfish often feed goldfish with bloodworms to make them grow faster. Bloodworms are the best bait for fish, containing high protein, and are also one of the popular foods on foreign tables in recent years, comparable to snails. Bloodworms are neither fish nor insects. They are a type of plankton that lives in fresh water and often jumps in the water. How to raise red worms: 1. Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow flow. Late spring and early autumn every year is the season when red worms reproduce in large numbers. They float on the water surface, often making the water surface brown-red. This is a great opportunity for us to collect red worms. 2. When raising a small amount of bloodworms at home, you can take the river pond sludge together with the bloodworms and put them in a basin or glass container. It is best to soak them with river water. If you use tap water for breeding, you should dry the tap water for 2 to 3 days in advance to remove bleach and other substances. Change the water every other day. In winter, you need to prevent freezing and put a wet red cloth on the container to keep it moist. 3. It is best to use a container with a larger area in contact with the air, because the red worms will float to the surface of the water and make movements similar to breathing, so if there are too many of them, some of them may not be able to compete for a position and die. 4. Light source is necessary for raising red worms. The light source cannot be turned off at night. You can use a small light source (such as a 5w night light, etc.) at night. Because red worms are too lazy to breathe, if there is no light source, they will die easily the next day. 5. There are specialized breeding farms, most of which ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make breeding feed. For home breeding of red worms, you can use yeast powder soaked in water to feed them, but the amount must be controlled. 6. When the number of red worms increases, they should be collected and dried in time. In late autumn and winter, the reproduction capacity of red worms is greatly weakened. In winter, when the red worms are not seen in the water tank, do not pour out the rotten water in the tank, because they are hiding in the green algae. We can put the water tank in a sunny room or near the radiator. In spring, when the indoor temperature rises, the red worms come out again. When the room temperature rises to above 28℃, the red worms begin to reproduce in large numbers. |
