CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to feed red worms safely (How to feed frozen red worms safely)

1. How to feed red worms correctly?

When feeding blood worms to fish, be careful not to feed them directly, as blood worms contain a lot of bacteria and must be filtered several times with clean water before feeding.

2. What are the precautions when feeding red worms?

Environment: A cool and humid environment is recommended. The density of red worms should not be too high. Water source: Red worms are afraid of pungent odors. If tap water is used for breeding, they need to be exposed to the sun for a few days to remove the chlorine. Cleaning: Clean the breeding basin and dead red worms in time to keep the breeding basin clean. Feeding: Glucose can be used directly for feeding, two or three times a week

3. What is the best way to raise red worms for fish to eat?

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.

4. How to feed red worms to make them tasty?

In the daily process of raising ornamental fish, red worms are a universal fish stone that is loved by different fish. Generally speaking, red worms are a general term for water earthworms or four-seeking silver worms, which is the most common source of high-quality protein for fish.

The way to make red worms delicious when fed to fish is to warm them up with water in advance and keep them clean. It is best to disinfect them in advance, so that they are not only delicious but also safe to feed to fish.

5. What is the correct way to feed red worms?

Environment: It is advisable to choose a cool and humid environment, and the density of red worms should not be too high.

Water source: Red worms are afraid of pungent odors. If they are raised with tap water, they must be exposed to the sun for a few days to remove the chlorine.

Cleaning: Clean the breeding pots and dead red worms in time to keep the red worm breeding pots clean.

Feeding: Glucose can be used directly for feeding, two or three times a week

6. How to feed dried red worms safely?

01. Salt water cleaning, ozone disinfection and sterilization

The feed is produced and preserved through three processes: "salt water washing, ozone disinfection and sterilization, and low-temperature rapid freezing treatment", with minimal nutrient loss.

02. The insect body is bright red, which means it is fresher

After sterilization, you can feed it directly without worry! It is hygienic and safe, and has a good color enhancement effect.

03. You should buy individually packaged food and feed it in fixed quantities.

Individually packaged in granules, it is convenient for quantitative feeding, storage and transportation. Since it cannot be kept as cold as a refrigerator during transportation, some of the food may melt. Just put it in the refrigerator after receiving it.

04. The insect body is full and free of impurities

Made of fresh bloodworms, each blood worm has high nutritional value, no mud or impurities, a plump body, little water, and high nutritional value. Frozen bloodworms that meet the above conditions can be used as edible feed for ornamental fish such as arowana, red parrot, arowana, discus, and goldfish.

Feeding method: When feeding, take out a little water from the fish tank to thaw the frozen bloodworms, and feed them after they reach room temperature.

7. Tips for raising 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.

8. What is the correct way to feed bloodworms to fish?

Red worms must meet the following conditions before they can be safely fed to fish:

01. Salt water cleaning, ozone disinfection and sterilization

The feed is produced and preserved through three processes: "salt water washing, ozone disinfection and sterilization, and low-temperature rapid freezing treatment", with minimal nutrient loss.

02. The insect body is bright red, which means it is fresher

Frozen bloodworms that meet the above conditions can be used as edible feed for ornamental fish such as arowana, red parrot, arowana, discus, and goldfish.

Feeding method: When feeding, take out some water from the fish tank to thaw the frozen bloodworms, and feed them after they reach room temperature.

9. What is the correct way to feed frozen red nematodes?

If you want to feed frozen red worms safely, it is best to disinfect them. Soak them in potassium permanganate solution for a while, then take them out and rinse them with clean water several times to avoid any drug residue, then pack them and freeze them in the refrigerator.

When you need to feed, just take it out and thaw it in advance. Do not feed the fish directly with frozen food. The temperature is too low and it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and in severe cases it may even cause enteritis.

10. What should you feed the preserved red worms?

Blood worms feed on crustaceans, oligochaetes and other chironomid larvae, while omnivores feed on bacteria, algae, aquatic plants and small animals. Blood worms can eat glucose, so you can buy some glucose to feed the blood worms. Blood worms do not eat much, so just a few drops each time.

Place the red worms in some loose soil. The soil contains the nutrients that the red worms need, and the moist soil can better keep the red worms active.
