CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How much water and fish feed do you need to keep red worms alive? (How much water and fish feed do you need to keep red worms alive?)

1. How to breed 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.

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.

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.

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.

2. How to breed and reproduce red worms?

How to raise red worms:

1. Red worms like to live in fertile water with slow water flow. The late spring and early autumn every year are the seasons 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 raising 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. To prevent freezing in winter, place 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 air, because the red worms will float to the surface of the water 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. You can't turn off the light source 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 farms that mostly ferment rice bran, sawdust, banana peels, bagasse, sludge, pigeon droppings, etc. to make feed.

When raising red worms at home, you can feed them with yeast powder soaked in water, but be sure to control the dosage.

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 reduced. 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 lurking in the green algae.

We can put the water tank in a sunny room or near a radiator. In spring, when the indoor temperature rises, the red worms come out again. When the room temperature rises above 28 degrees Celsius, the red worms begin to reproduce in large numbers.

3. Introduce the habits and breeding techniques of red worms?

Breeding environment selection

The artificial breeding of red worms is very important for the choice of environment. If the environment is not chosen well, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Red worms like to live in a dark and humid environment without direct sunlight and calm water. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a quiet and dark place for breeding red worms, such as under the shade of trees in front of and behind the house, abandoned ditches and canals, etc.

Construction of breeding ponds

The highest yield of artificial breeding of red worms is achieved by pond breeding. The breeding pond can be built into a cement pond with a length of 20 meters, a width of 1.5 meters, and a depth of 0.3 meters. After the cement pond is built, it must be de-alkalied before it can be used. The method is: fill the cement pond with water, sprinkle superphosphate (sprinkle 1 kg of superphosphate per cubic meter of water) and soak for 3 days. After de-alkali, spread a layer of fermented farmyard manure on the bottom of the pond, and then spread a layer of pond mud.

Collection of red worms

There are two ways to obtain brood worms for artificial breeding of red worms. One is natural reproduction, which is to allow midges to lay eggs and reproduce in the breeding pond in spring and autumn every year. The other is to collect adult worms artificially.

Red worms can be found everywhere in the southern region, and most artificial breeding is done by collecting them from the wild.

The best time to collect red worms is in spring and autumn, with the best time being April to May in spring and October in autumn. In the wild, in ditches, lakes, and ponds where water has been stagnant for a long time and has poor water quality, when you see the water is brown-red, it means that red worms are gathering on the water surface, and you can collect a lot of red worms.

Stocking density

The collected red worms are directly placed in the breeding pond for feeding. The water level is maintained at about 0.2 meters and the stocking density should be moderate. If the density is too high, the dissolved oxygen content in the water will be insufficient and food shortage will occur.

Feeding

Red worms are omnivorous and can be fed with a lot of food. In addition to the organic matter produced by farmyard manure in the breeding pond, you can also feed some easily rotten organic debris, such as vegetable leaves, rice bran, sawdust, etc. If it is a large-scale breeding, you can prepare special feed yourself, mix rice bran, banana peels, sugarcane bagasse, sawdust, pigeon manure or chicken manure with pond mud, and feed it after sufficient fermentation. Feed it once every 3 days, and feed it once at 100 catties/mu.

manage

Although red worms like to grow in fertile water and do not require high water quality, they still need to change water during artificial breeding. The frequency of water changes can be determined according to the water conditions in the breeding pond. If the water quality is particularly poor, the water color is black, and the water body smells, the water needs to be changed. You cannot use tap water or clear spring water to change the water. You can use natural water from the weir pond, take it back and place it for 2 days before putting it into the pond. Pay attention to avoid light. If the sunlight is strong during the day, you can build a shed or use branches to shade it.

4. 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.

6. What is the best recipe for making red worm bait?

[Red worm bait recipe]

1. Take about one or two female red worms, spread them flat in a shallow plate, wet them with a small amount of clean water to make the surface of the red worms moist, take an appropriate amount of red worm companion and sprinkle it evenly on the red worms, a thin layer is enough, stir evenly, put on disposable gloves, roll it into dough, and use it as bait.

2. Wash the red nematodes, put them in a small basin, add a cup of water to break up the red worms, and then gradually add a cup of commercial bait according to the ratio on the bait bag. At this time, the proportion of water can be appropriately increased, stirring while adding. After the bait, water and worms are fully mixed, put them aside and let them stand. After the bait absorbs water and expands completely, sprinkle a layer of Laogui No. 5 on its surface, and immediately stir it quickly to evenly mix it. After it is balled into a ball, you can pull the bait for fishing.

3. First hang the red worm on the hook, and then wrap a layer of commercial bait on the outside to make a sandwich biscuit. The smell of commercial bait and red worms is also used to attract fish, and the chance of catching fish is still quite large. When making it, you can directly hook it and then wrap it with commercial bait, or you can hook it first and then wrap it on the bait tray. However, it is best to use flour bait as the wrapped bait, so that the wrapping effect is better.

4. To use red worms for making nests, just add red worms to the prepared dry loose nesting materials, spread out your five fingers and gently scatter them. When scattering the bait to make a nest, cast the rod for 7-8 minutes.

7. How to raise red worms for eels to eat?

Red worms mainly eat organic fertilizers and like some sour and sweet feeds. Generally, they need to be fed once every three days. One mu of land should be fertilized with more than 50 kg of fertilizer each time, and a certain amount of water should be added, and then sprinkled after sufficient stirring.

For artificially cultivated red worms, you must add food to them in time to prevent them from starving to death or other physical diseases during the growth process. Since they like to eat sweet or acidic foods, you can add some fresh animal blood to some rice powder, stir it thoroughly, and feed it to them after fermentation. Sometimes when the weather becomes hot, the amount of food they eat will decrease. Choose to feed them in the morning every day and change the water according to the daily temperature.

8. How to prepare red worm bait?

1. "Red Love" red worm bait

1. Spread the red worms evenly in the basin.

2. Use "Chi Lian" in a mist form and lightly sprinkle it on the red worms, but don't use too much.

3. Hold the basin with both hands and shake it left and right to make the red worms fully coated with the "red lian" powder. Be careful not to stir it with your hands.

4. As the worms are fully covered with "Red Lian" powder, they will become dry and scattered. At this time, use your hands to dip water and lightly sprinkle it on the red worms. Then quickly gather them into a ball and start pulling them for use. Use gentle techniques rather than heavy ones.

2. “Redworm Companion” Redworm Bait

1. Take the red worms and spread them flat in a dry bait basin.

2. Sprinkle the red worm companion evenly on the surface of the worm body, and then gently stir it evenly with five fingers.

3. Spread your five fingers, dip them in water and stir the red worm bait at the same time. Be as gentle as possible and remember to pour the water directly into the basin.

4. When you see the red worms bunched together, you can use them to pull them. At this time, the red worm bait ball is a full and elastic sphere.

3. “Roujiamo” Red Worm Bait

1. Add 50% of regular fishy-smelling bait and 5-10% of silk powder to make the bait according to the bait-water ratio of 1:1.2.

2. After 3-5 minutes, sprinkle the red worms (equal amount to bait) evenly on the prepared bait, mix well, and lightly form a ball before use.

This bait is a combination of lure and fishing. The bait is atomized in the water to make a nest to lure fish, and red worms are hooked for fishing. It is very efficient.

9. How to raise red worms at home?

In the natural environment, red nematodes mainly feed on bacteria, yeast, algae and organic debris (fragments of plants and animals). To cultivate red nematodes artificially, you need to prepare the culture medium in advance. Take 4.5 kg of fertile soil (soil from the garden or vegetable garden) and 1 kg of straw (cut into 2 cm), pour them into a large tank, add 50 kg of water, stir thoroughly, place at 15-18℃ for 3-4 days, and then filter with gauze. The filtrate is called the stock solution.

Take a certain amount of the original solution and pour it into another tank, then add 2-4 times the amount of pond water, and the culture solution is ready. At this time, you can put a small amount of red nematodes into the culture solution, and keep the water temperature at 18-25℃. The red nematodes grow very fast and will multiply in large quantities to feed goldfish or other fish. In the process of cultivating red nematodes, the original solution should be added at any time to ensure that the fish and worms have enough feed.
