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.

Red worms can be used to feed goldfish. Daphnia belongs to the phylum Arthropoda, class Crustacea, subclass Branchiopoda. Commonly known as "goldfish worms" or "red worms", they are nutritious and easy to digest, making them a suitable bait for fry and fingerlings. They are small, about 2 mm long, light flesh-red in color, and live in fresh water. The body is divided into the head and trunk, with a carapace. The trunk has 5 pairs of trunk limbs (thoracic limbs), which are organs for movement and breathing. In summer, in some ponds or ditches flooded with green water, as long as there are no fish in them, they will be easily occupied by Daphnia. In eutrophic and slow-flowing waters, Daphnia will reproduce in large numbers. From a distance, you can see pieces of red flocs floating on the water. People will use nets to catch these Daphnia to feed goldfish.
