CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much water do you need to raise red worms and fish together? (How much water do you need to raise red worms and fish together?)

1. How to raise red nematodes and blood worms for fishing? Want to raise some at home?

1. When raising red nematodes, what should they eat?

There is no need to feed it because it lives in the mud and eats things in the mud. If you put it in the mud, the fish will have diarrhea after eating it.

2. Some people say that red nematodes will eat fish feed? Is that true?

Not true

3. It is also said that the amount of water added should not exceed that of the red nematodes?

If you raise it alone, don't exceed it; but if you are feeding fish, it depends on the water level of the fish!

4. How should I raise the fish that the peacock has laid? Is there only egg yolk? I used to raise new fish but they always died. Why?

The water temperature is around 26 degrees, but I have raised fish in the summer, and I did not use warm water, but used water that had been exposed to the sun for 2 or 3 days. Fish do not need to be fed for about a day after they are born, and they rely on egg yolk for absorption. The next day, they can be egg yolk, but it is easy to spoil the water. The dead fish may be due to the water quality, too low!

5. Can they eat chopped red nematodes? How finely should they be chopped?

You can't eat it the next day, it's too small, it's ok after 3 or 4 days, just chop it into 1 or 2 mm small pieces! ~~~~

2. How to cultivate red worms for feeding fish?

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.

3. 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.

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. How to raise red worms for ornamental fish?

The remaining red worms can be cultivated for a period of time. Since they like a humid environment, they can be raised in water. In weather where the temperature is not too high, the container containing the red worms can be placed directly in a cool place.

In summer, you need to put the container with red worms in the refrigerator and adjust the temperature to between 0-5 degrees. The water in the container needs to be changed regularly, usually every 2-3 days. If there are dead red worms, they need to be cleaned out in time.

6. How long can fish survive if you feed them red worms?

Answer: About 1 to 2 weeks.

Bloodworms can live for one to two weeks when soaked in water. This worm is the larvae of the Chironomid family. It is worm-shaped and dark red in color. It is widely distributed and is a natural bait for fish. It has high nutritional value, especially for tropical fish.

It originally lived in sewage. If you want to keep it in clean water, you need to control the water level, not to exceed 1 cm, and change the water every two days.

7. What’s 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.

8. How much water should be used to raise red worms?

If you want to raise red worms, 5 liters of water will be enough.

However, if the water used to cultivate them is not appropriate, they may drown or die for other reasons. For example, water depth is an important factor. When cultivating red worms, the water should not be too deep. The depth of the breeding pond should be about 20 cm, and a few centimeters is enough for domestic breeding. In addition, water quality and dissolved oxygen content are also very important. Therefore, not changing the water for a long time will also lead to the death of red worms.

9. How to feed goldfish with bloodworms?

Red worms usually grow in rivers, streams, banks and ponds, where the water is relatively rich and dirty. In order to prevent fish diseases, goldfish should also avoid "diseases from the mouth". So how to raise goldfish? How to feed goldfish with red worms caught from the river? Rinse the goldfish feed red worms before feeding.

If you encounter diesel or something like that when fishing for worms, don't panic. After catching the red worms, hold the middle part of the net bag with one hand at the riverside to prevent the red worms from leaking out, sink the lower half of the net bag into the water, and use your other hand to knock on the lower half with the red worms. Because oil is lighter than water, after repeated knocking and flushing, the diesel and the like will gradually float up. This is the first rinsing.

After returning to the farm (home), use the same method to get a large basin of clean water, rinse it under the tap for a while according to the above method, and knock the red worms with one hand to let the oil float up again. This is the second rinse, and then pour the red worms from the net bag into a large basin or small tank. Add 2/3 of water, float the red worms, check for pests or dirt, and then use a large-eye scoop net to remove the dirt. This is the third rinse, and then you can use 2-3 mg/L potassium permanganate solution to bathe the red worms for 3-5 minutes. After the red worms are treated in this way, you can use a coarse-screened silk or gauze scoop net to fish out the big red worms to feed the big fish, and use a fine-screened silk scoop net to fish out the remaining small red worms to feed the fry or young fish.

After several rinses, it basically reaches the level of cleanliness, which has a certain positive effect on preventing and reducing the occurrence of goldfish diseases.

Family fish breeders can also use submerged water to keep live red worms sparsely in basins, tanks and other containers, and put on aeration heads to increase oxygen. Generally, they can be kept for a day in summer and 3-5 days in winter without dying. This can save a little time and avoid the trouble of going out to catch worms every day.
