CATDOLL: What is the best water to use for raising red worms?

1. 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.

2. What is the best way to raise red worms?

1. Breeding conditions: Red worms like to live in micro-flowing fertile water. Artificial breeding must meet this condition. They will reproduce in large numbers in late spring and early autumn. They must be collected in containers. It is best to raise them with natural water and take anti-cold measures when the temperature is low.

2. Control the light source: Red worms like light, so the lights should not be turned off at night, otherwise they will easily die.

3. Water quality control: The water level can be slightly shallower during the day to increase the water temperature, and the water level can be deepened at night.

4. Feeding bait: Ferment rice bran, silt, pigeon droppings, sawdust, etc. into feed.

3. How to raise red worms in water?

Red water worms like to live in fertile water with slow flow. Late spring and early autumn every year is the season when red water 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 water worms.

2. When raising a small amount of red water 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. In winter, you need to prevent freezing. Put a wet red cloth on the container to keep it moist.

4. What are the breeding techniques for red worms?

1. Breeding pond: Bloodworm breeding is generally carried out on a large scale, so a breeding pond is needed. The number of bloodworms to be put in can be determined by the size of the breeding pond, and the water depth. When breeding bloodworms, the water should not be too deep. Generally speaking, 20 to 30 centimeters is more appropriate. In addition, some silt needs to be placed at the bottom of the pond, where bloodworms like to move around.

2. Food: The main food of red worms is plankton and organic debris in the water. When the water is rich in nutrients, the growth rate of red worms will be fast. Therefore, it is best to add some fermented fertilizer to the water regularly, so that the nutrients in the water will be richer. 3. Water quality: It is more appropriate to use river water or pond water to breed red worms, because such water is closer to the native environment of red worms, but tap water is more convenient. But don't use tap water directly. It is best to expose them to the sun for two or three days and wait until the chlorine in them is basically removed before using them. Red worms do not have high requirements for water quality, but water quality is closely related to dissolved oxygen, so water changes must also be done well.

5. How to raise and breed 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 artificially culture red nematodes, you must prepare the culture solution 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, then filter with gauze. The filtrate is called the stock solution. Take a certain amount of the stock solution and pour it into another tank, then add 2-4 times the pond water, so that the culture solution is prepared. 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, add the stock solution at any time to ensure sufficient feed for the fish and worms.

6. Can red worms be raised directly with purified water?

Red worms cannot be raised directly with purified water

It is best not to use tap water. Use filtered water, purified water or boiled water. It is similar to changing the water for ornamental fish. Remember that the water layer only covers the thickness of the red worms by 20%, about 30%. Do not put too much water, otherwise there will be hypoxia. It is generally stored indoors at room temperature of about 10 degrees.

In summer, it is best to place them in the fresh-keeping layer or the cold storage layer of the refrigerator. It is best to change the water every two or three days. During the water change, the red worms should be taken out and placed on a dry towel in a cool place to dry. This way the survival rate of the red worms is higher and the survival period is longer. Normally, the survival period of fresh red worms is about twenty days. The longest I have kept them alive is one and a half months.

7. What is the easiest way to raise red worms?

There are many ways to raise red worms. Here I share a simple and practical method of raising red worms using a flower pot.

1. Put a round sponge at the bottom of the flower pot (wet the sponge in water first), put some soil for raising earthworms on the sponge, sprinkle some water on the soil and mix well, not too much water. Spread the purchased red worms on the soil. Get a sponge about 2 cm thick that is as big as the mouth of the flower pot, soak it in water and squeeze it with both hands to make sure there is not too much water in the sponge, and cover the red worms.

2. Place the flower pot in a plastic basin and add three centimeters of water to the plastic basin.

3. Place the plastic basin in a cool and ventilated place, and avoid exposure to the sun; add some water to the plastic basin regularly to keep the water three centimeters deep. In this way, the water in the plastic basin can continuously seep into the bottom of the flower pot, then seep into the sponge at the bottom of the pot, and then seep into the nearby soil through the sponge, so that the soil is always moist, and the red worms can not only survive, but also absorb nutrients in the soil to grow. Regularly soak the sponge covering the red worms in water, squeeze out excess water, and then cover it. When it freezes in winter, place the plastic basin in a non-freezing place indoors to prevent the red worms from freezing to death, and do not cover the flower pot tightly without ventilation to suffocate the red worms.

8. What is the best method for breeding red worms at home?

Before breeding artificial red worms, first ensure the environmental requirements and ensure sufficient sunlight. Prepare a container, take the red worms from the fertilizer water, and then put the silt and red worms into the container together. Natural pure water can be used for breeding, and the water depth is generally maintained at about three to five centimeters.

9. How to raise red worms at home?

When raising 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 in 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. Prevent freezing in winter.

Place a wet red cloth on the container to keep it moist. It is best to use a container with a large area exposed to air, because the red worms will float to the surface of the water and make a breathing-like movement, so if there are too many of them, some of them may not be able to compete for a place and die.
