CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How can I keep red worms longer? (How can I keep red worms longer?)

1. How to store red worms so they can survive permanently?

1. Simple cultivation method

Red worms live in a humid environment and can survive even if they don't eat for a day or two. Therefore, as long as the temperature and environment are suitable, it is easy to preserve red worms. A simple culture method is to use wet gauze or towels to gently wrap the red worms, ensure that the living environment of the red worms is moist, and place them in a shaded and cool place. Generally speaking, this method can preserve red worms for one to two days without any problem.

2. Soil maintenance method

If you want to preserve it for a longer time, you need to improve the environment and make some improvements to the environment suitable for the red worms. For example, you can use soil to preserve the red worms. The nutrients and water in the soil can provide nutrition and a suitable environment for the fish. The soil can also insulate the fish from heat and wind, allowing the red worms to stay in a damp and dark place for a long time.

2. What is the simplest way to raise red worms?

1. Pool and density: When breeding red worms artificially, the number is generally large, and breeding them on a large scale is very common. The first thing to pay attention to is the breeding pool and density. You can use a cement pool to breed red worms. The water depth can be controlled at 20-30 cm. It does not need to be too deep. Some silt can be placed at the bottom of the pool. The number of red worms should not be too large, otherwise the dissolved oxygen in the water will be insufficient, and there will be insufficient food.

2. Food: There are many kinds of food that red worms can eat. Some red worms only eat meat, while others are omnivorous and can eat both meat and vegetarian food. Even some bacteria can become their food. If you are breeding red worms artificially, you can also add some glucose to the water, which will help the red worms grow better.

3. Water temperature: When breeding red worms, you need to pay special attention to the water temperature, because the water temperature has a relatively large impact on the growth and development of red worms. Red worms are more afraid of heat, but not too afraid of cold, so the water temperature can be kept at around 10 degrees, or even more than 10 degrees. When the temperature is suitable, the growth and reproduction speed of red worms are relatively fast.

4. Water change: When breeding red worms, you must pay attention to water changes, otherwise the water quality will be poor and the dissolved oxygen content will be insufficient. The specific frequency of water changes can be determined according to the state of the water in the pool, and the water quality in the pool can be monitored in real time.

5. Light: Red worms do not like strong light, so try to keep the pool in a darker state. If there is strong light during the day, it is recommended to cover it in time.

3. 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.

4. How to breed red worms?

Step/Method 1

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.

Step/Method 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.

Step/Method 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.

Step/Method 4

Feeding. Red worms mainly feed on organic debris in the soil, and they particularly like sweet and acidic baits. Poultry manure, domestic sewage, etc. are all their baits. In professional farms, rice bran, sawdust, sludge, pigeon manure and other raw materials are generally fermented to make feed. If it is a family farm, yeast powder can be soaked in water and fed. Feeding is also a key point in red worm production. Feeding in small amounts and multiple times can increase production. Generally, feeding is done once every 3-4 days, and 50 to 100 kilograms of manure is fed per mu each time. It is mixed with water and sprinkled throughout the pond. When feeding, pay attention to the amount of residual bait, and do not blindly feed more, so as to avoid excessive organic matter in the water body causing fermentation to produce toxic substances, affecting production.

5. Where can red worms be placed so that they can live longer?

1. How to store red worms with leftover tea leaves: We drink scented tea every day, and pour the leftover scented tea roots into a container and save them. Go to a fishing tackle store and buy 5 yuan worth of red worms, put them in a container for tea leaves, stir them, and store them in a cool place. When you need them, take out some of them from the container, pick out the red worms and tie them up for use, and put the rest back. Later, pour some of the tea roots you have finished drinking into it to keep the amount of leftover tea leaves. Generally, it can be stored for about 20 days to 1 month. But the temperature must be controlled between 10 degrees and 3 degrees, and the humidity must be maintained. The leftover tea leaves cannot become too dry.

2. Sandy soil storage method: Prepare a plastic basin, preferably with a lid, take 1 part of the black mud from the river, and 2 parts of the coarse sand, mix them together and put them in the plastic basin. Buy red worms for 5 yuan, put them in the middle layer of the container, and cover them with sand and mud. Keep the humidity of the mud and sand, and the temperature is also around 10 degrees (you can put it in the refrigerator, remember not the freezer) and keep it below. You can take a small amount of red worms from the sand and soil, pick them out and use them as a substitute, and restore the red worms and sand and soil when not in use. Mud and sand can store red worms for a long time, and red worms can survive in mud and sand for 1 month to 40 days. Sand and soil can also be replaced with fine wet soil containing about 30% water.

3. Storage method of using fresh orange peels to pretend to be red worms: Taking 50 grams of red worms as an example, first pour the purchased red worms into clean water to wash them, pick out the dead worms, then drain the water, find a container (not plastic), find a piece of cotton cloth to wet it with water, pour the watered red worms on the wet cotton cloth, put it in the container, use 50 grams of freshly washed orange peels, tear them into fingernail-sized pieces with clean hands, pour them into the container containing the red worms, pretend to be red worms, cover with the remaining wet cotton cloth, and put it in the refrigerator. The wet cloth and orange peels can be changed once a week, and pick out the discolored dead worms when changing. It can generally be stored for about 40 days.

4. Method of preserving red worms by washing them with running water: Wash the purchased red worms with water, pick out the dead worms, put them into the worn-out mercerized jackets of lesbians, tie them tightly with a rope and put them into the toilet tank. Tie it with a rope to prevent it from being flushed away when the water is released. If the water does not contain bleach, it can be stored for 15-20 days without any problem.

6. How to breed red worms?

1. Red worm collection

Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow water flow, and the water depth is generally about 0.5 meters. Every year in late spring and early autumn, it is the season for red worms to reproduce in large numbers. Red worms float on the water surface, often making the water surface brown-red, and people can easily find them. Red worms can be collected all year round in southern my country, and they are easier to collect in spring and autumn. Before collecting, prepare the collection net and cover the net mouth with a layer of plastic green yarn. The mesh of the green yarn is just enough for the red worms to pass through. In this way, when collecting, it can prevent water plants and other debris from entering the net.

2. Container selection

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.

3. Change the water

When breeding a small number 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 impurities. Change the water every other day.

4. Rinse

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

5. Feeding

Specialized farms mostly ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make feed. For home-breeding red worms, you can feed them with yeast powder soaked in water, but the amount must be controlled.

6. Harvesting and storage

When the number of red worms increases, they should be collected in time and dried for storage. You can wash the red worms and put them in a wet cloth, then put them in a clean disposable lunch box and put them in a dark and ventilated place at home (shady balcony). Basically, you can take them out every one or two days to rinse them with water and sift out the dead worms. It is not a problem to keep them for a month or so.

7. What is the fastest way to breed 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 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 ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peel, bagasse, sludge, pigeon manure, 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 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.

8. 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).
