1. How to feed red worms, use them for fishing, and keep them as ornamental fish at home? Can anyone share some experience with me?Prepare the culture container: It should not be too small. Generally, a water tank with a diameter of half a meter is enough. You can also use a larger water basin. If you have a ready-made pond, it is also perfect. The water depth should not be too deep. Half a meter of water is considered deep. The water quality should be relatively turbid. As the saying goes, clear water means no fish or worms. Light: Red worms have more requirements for light. Generally, they can be placed in the sun. However, the sun is very strong now. If the water temperature is too high, you need to add cold water or place it in a cool place. 2. How to raise red worms, also known as bloodworms, used for fishing?That depends on how long you have been raising it. Generally, there is no problem raising it for about a week after you buy it home. When raising it, you should pay attention to maintaining the humidity. You can find a square plastic box, put a wet cloth at the bottom, and put the red worms on it. Then cover it with another wet cloth and put it in the refrigerator. Change the water every two days. Just rub two pieces of wet cloth and keep it moist. If there are dead ones in it, remove them in time. Those whitish ones are dead. 3. How to breed red worms for fishing?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?There is a fishing proverb that says: "Use earthworms in spring, noodles in summer, and red worms are the first choice in winter." In autumn and winter, the weather becomes cooler, which is a good time for fishing. Red worms are undoubtedly the first choice for seasonal bait. However, many people think that it is troublesome to buy red worms every time they go fishing. So, can we raise some red worms ourselves? Today we will learn how to raise 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 sieve out dead worms, and you can keep them for a month or so. Many anglers like to use blood worms as bait. Instead of buying bait every time, it is better to raise some at home and use them whenever you want to go fishing. 5. 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. |
