CATDOLL: What are the precautions for feeding red worms?

1. Red worm breeding technology?

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 depth of the water 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 vegetables. 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. It 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.

2. Can live red worms be fed directly?

Feeding bloodworms directly to fish can easily cause intestinal infection, so it is recommended to freeze and disinfect them before feeding.

3. How to raise red worms?

As late autumn approaches and the weather cools, it is a good time to go fishing. When it comes to bait for autumn, red worms are undoubtedly ranked first.

In fact, red worms have many advantages, such as broad spectrum, moderate price, and good fish bite. But there is a fatal disadvantage, which is that they cannot be stored for a long time. Female worms are fine, you can buy as many as you need, and there is no worry of waste. But this male worm, which costs 5 yuan, can be used for several days. If you can't use it up, you will waste it and throw it away. If you take it home, it is basically impossible to keep it alive...

Think about how bloodworm merchants and fishing tackle shops store them. When the quantity is large, they are basically transported with burlap, and when they are sold, they are wrapped in newspapers. We can probably guess that when storing bloodworms, we must pay attention to the two points of moisture retention and ventilation.

The editor saw a picture on the Internet, which talked about the low-temperature storage method of red worms. It seems reliable, but putting red worms in the refrigerator may only be suitable for single male anglers, because if the wife finds this thing in the refrigerator, she may go crazy...

In fact, the editor's method of preserving red worms is very simple. After washing the red worms, 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, take them out every one or two days to rinse them with water and sieve out dead worms, and it will not be a problem to keep them for a month or so!

One thing to note is that you cannot raise too many fish using this method, as they will easily pile up together and cause hypoxia.

4. Can rainbow angelfish eat bloodworms?

You can definitely feed red worms to discus fish, but you should also pay attention to a few things: First, try to feed as little red worms as possible, because there are indeed too many bacteria. You can feed ice!

Second, as for small red worms, they can be fed as long as the water quality where they are caught is fresh and there is no pollution source.

Third, pay attention to the amount of feeding. Red worms are different from other fish food or fish feed. It is impossible for the seven-color fish to finish eating them within three to five minutes. You must extend the feeding time while ensuring that you do not feed too much or too much! This depends on you to slowly master the feeding amount!

5. What are the methods and techniques for large-scale breeding of red worms?

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.

6. Does feeding red worms into the fish tank affect the water quality?

influential.

Because bloodworms themselves are a high-protein feed, but after the powdered feed is fed into the fish tank, it is difficult for fish to eat all of it. Some of it will always dissolve into the water and cause the water quality to deteriorate.

Unless you are using a fish tank to raise fish fry, it is not recommended to feed fish with red worm powder, as this will have a huge impact on the water quality.

If you want to feed big fish with bloodworms, you can buy some frozen or dried bloodworms. However, the frozen bloodworms must be completely thawed and the blood on the surface must be rinsed clean before feeding. If the fish is very expensive, they may even have to be disinfected before feeding.
