CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to keep the leftover red worms alive after fishing (How to keep the leftover red worms alive after fishing)

1. How to preserve the bloodworms you buy for fishing?

The bloodworms you mentioned should be red worms. Red worms for fishing usually need to be kept for a few days after they are bought, so how to preserve them is particularly important. First, find a clean plastic box. If the box has a lid, it is best to poke a few holes in it to ensure ventilation.

Then find a sponge, hollow out the middle, put the red worms inside, and then put the sponge into the box. Add water to the box before putting it in the box, but the water level cannot cover the red worms. It is best to cover it with a lid and put it in the refrigerator.

2. How to store the leftover red worms after buying them for fishing?

Sand can be used to store red worms. It only needs to be moist, but not too wet. It can be stored in the refrigerator for two months without dying. It is just troublesome to separate the red worms, unless you use a fine mesh to sift the sand first and then sift out the red worms. The mesh should not be too large, otherwise the red worms will be sifted out.

You can also find a small cardboard box, put newspapers or cabbage leaves in the box, spray some water, then put the red worms in, and cover it with a layer of newspaper. Put the box on the balcony in the shade of the room or in the shade of other buildings. It must be ventilated and sun-proof. Spray water every 3 days.

3. How to breed fishing red worms?

1. Breeding conditions

When breeding red worms, prepare a glass container, put the selected red worms into it, and then inject clean and sterile natural water. If you want to use tap water for breeding, it is best to expose the tap water to the sun for 2-3 days to remove the chlorine in it to prevent poor growth of the red worms.

2. Control light source

The growth of red worms cannot be separated from light. Lack of light source will cause the red worms to have difficulty breathing and suffocate to death. When breeding, it is best to hang a 5-watt light bulb above the container to provide the red worms with sufficient light, allowing them to breathe freely and grow healthily.

3. Water quality control

When breeding red worms, the water should be changed once a day to keep the water clean. In the process of changing the water, the red worms and the container should be cleaned to remove the mucus to avoid the breeding of bacteria. The breeding water depth should be controlled at about 3-5 cm, and the water level should be deepened at night to keep warm.

4. How to breed red worms for fishing?

How to cultivate bloodworms for fish feeding:

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 an excellent opportunity to collect red worms.

2. When breeding 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 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 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 you can't see the red worms in the water tank, don't pour out the water in the tank, because they are hiding in the green algae. You 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.

5. How to keep red worms alive permanently?

There are many ways to raise red worms. Here I share a simple and practical method of raising red worms using a flower pot.

1. Put a round sponge at the bottom of the flower pot (wet the sponge in water first), put some soil for raising earthworms on the sponge, sprinkle some water on the soil and mix well, not too much water. Spread the purchased red worms on the soil. Get a sponge about 2 cm thick that is as big as the mouth of the flower pot, soak it in water and squeeze it with both hands to make sure there is not too much water in the sponge, and cover the red worms.

2. Place the flower pot in a plastic basin and add three centimeters of water to the plastic basin.

3. Place the plastic basin in a cool and ventilated place, and avoid exposure to the sun; add some water to the plastic basin regularly to keep the water three centimeters deep. In this way, the water in the plastic basin can continuously seep into the bottom of the flower pot, then seep into the sponge at the bottom of the pot, and then seep into the nearby soil through the sponge, so that the soil is always moist, and the red worms can not only survive, but also absorb nutrients in the soil to grow. Regularly soak the sponge covering the red worms in water, squeeze out excess water, and then cover it. When it freezes in winter, place the plastic basin in a non-freezing place indoors to prevent the red worms from freezing to death, and do not cover the flower pot tightly without ventilation to suffocate the red worms.

6. How should the red worms used for fishing be managed to ensure their longest survival time? How long can they survive at most?

You want to never run out of red worms.

Buy red worms, regardless of size, dig some soil from the river, put it in a container, then put the red worms in, and use river water to raise the red worms. You don't need to put in too much water, so that the red worms can reproduce on their own.

The temperature cannot be too low, and the lowest cannot exceed about seven or eight degrees. The breeding temperature of red worms is about 25 degrees, but they cannot be placed under the sun.

The red worms raised in this way are large, plump, and have a very high survival rate.

(The best container is to buy a small tank and use it to raise the fish. If you can raise them for a year, then you will have an inexhaustible supply. Fellow anglers may wish to give it a try. The water does not need to be changed frequently. If there are aquatic plants, put some more aquatic plants to increase the dissolved oxygen content in the water).
