How to raise red worms?

1. Picking insects

Before raising red worms, you must choose suitable ones. The worms must be newly bought and fresh, so they can be fed for a long time without dying.

2. Density

The density of insects should not be too high. If the density of insects is too high, they will easily die. I usually raise one to two taels of insects in a 30-centimeter stainless steel basin. The density is just right and the water is basically full.

3. Change the water

The water should be changed once a day and placed in a cool place. If there is no cool place, place it on the shady windowsill near the window, so that it can be cooler. Generally, there will be heaters under the windowsill, and there is temperature below. A foam board should be lined at the bottom of the pot to provide insulation. It is best to leave the water for raising red worms for a day so that the water temperature is close to the water temperature in the pot, and the worms are easier to survive.

4. Wash

First, you need to wash the basin. Every time you change the water, after pouring the insects into the sieve, you need to wash the basin thoroughly with clean water. At this time, there will be some mucus on the basin, which is sticky. Wash all of it off and rinse the basin clean. Second, you need to wash the insects. Get some water from the basin, rinse the insects in the sieve with water, and wash away the mucus and dirt on the insects.

5. Pick up

Just pick out the dead insects after or before changing the water to ensure that the water is not contaminated by the blood of dead insects. When feeding, feed glucose for infusion 2-3 times a week, a few milliliters at a time.

Water silkworms, commonly known as red worms, are common benthic animals in freshwater. They mostly live in sewage ditches and drainage outlets with more organic matter and humus. The most suitable water temperature for their growth is 15-20℃ and the pH value is 6.8-8.5. Water silkworms are rich in protein, fat, inorganic salts and multiple vitamins, and are high-quality bait for some special aquaculture objects at the seedling stage.

Blood worms are the larvae of chironomids and are widely distributed in various water bodies. Their biomass often accounts for 50% to 90% of the total benthic animals in the waters. They are an excellent natural bait for many economic aquatic animals such as carp, crucian carp, dace, sturgeon, black carp, eel, loach, river crab, turtle, and tortoise.

Red worm breeding method

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 breeding a small amount of red worms at home, you can take the river pond sludge together with the red worms 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 water surface and make breathing-like movements, 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 use rice bran, sawdust, banana peel, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make breeding feed after fermentation with Haowangnong EM bacteria. For family breeding of red worms, Haowangnong EM bacteria fermented feed can also be used to feed, 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 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 above 28℃, the red worms begin to reproduce in large numbers.

Preparation of culture medium

For small-scale breeding ponds, a layer of sugarcane bagasse is usually spread on the bottom of the pond, about 2 kg per square meter, and then a layer of pond mud 3 to 5 cm thick is spread on it. Before planting seedlings, a layer of a mixture of green chaff, bran, and corn flour is sprinkled on each square meter at 0.1 to 0.5 kg. Rice fields, ditches, etc. should also be fertilized with decomposed livestock and poultry manure, 2,000 to 2,500 kg per 0.067 hectares. Rice straw or wheat straw should also be added to the bottom soil of the rice fields. Haowangnongyang Redworm EM bacteria can be used to let it rot and ferment as the base material. After the culture medium is laid, the seedlings can be planted for breeding.

The EM bacteria used by Haowangnong Aquaculture can meet the sufficient needs of breeding red worms. In nature, red worms mainly feed on bacteria, yeast, algae and organic debris (rotten remains of animals and plants). Haowangnong EM bacteria is composed of a variety of probiotics, including lactic acid bacteria, yeast, Bacillus, etc., which can promote the growth needs of red worms, improve the breeding environment of red worms, and increase the survival rate and yield.

How to raise red worms for fishing so they don't die easily

How should you take care of the red worms you buy for fishing?

Nowadays, more and more anglers like red worms more than earthworms. This still depends on the fish's love for red worms. However, it is not easy to breed red worms correctly and prevent them from dying so quickly. Another point is that the effects of dead red worms are completely different from those of living ones.

Red worms have another alias, which is called water earthworms by some people. Maybe it is because red worms and earthworms have the same purpose, both are used for fishing. Why do fish like red worms more than earthworms nowadays? In fact, it is because red worms are a kind of small worms rich in high protein. Fish can distinguish whether it is the food they need by their natural keen sense of smell. So no matter what season it is, red worms are always better than earthworms.

Let's look at the specific breeding methods. In foreign countries, there are specialized breeding farms for red worms. Most of them use rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, sugarcane bagasse, sludge, pigeon manure, etc. to make breeding feed after fermentation.

Most of the red worms we use for fishing are purchased, but because red worms are called water earthworms, they cannot live without water. They must be soaked in water and the water must be changed frequently. Generally, tap water must be exposed to the sun before use. This is because tap water contains some substances that are not suitable for red worms to survive. When using, just put the red worms in a small bottle, add a layer of sponge inside, and keep it in water. Thank you for adopting!

How to raise red worms for fishing so they don't die easily

Usually, the small bag is placed in the refrigerator for refrigeration;

Bring a wet towel to cover when you go fishing;

It is best to buy and use it immediately. Red worms contain super bacteria, so be sure to avoid contact with broken skin.
