CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can red worms be soaked in water (can red worms be washed with water)

1. Will red worms die if soaked in water?

Bloodworms will die if they are kept in water, but this is not because there is something wrong with the water method itself, but because of other reasons. Bloodworms live in water, so they also need to be kept in water when they are artificially bred, and a breeding pond is required.

When breeding them, there are many reasons for their death, such as poor water quality, inappropriate density, inappropriate water temperature, insufficient food, natural death, etc. When breeding red worms, if any red worms die, their bodies must be fished out in time.

2. What to do if there are bubbles in the koi fish’s body?

First of all, determine whether there is a problem with the water quality or it is caused by improper human operation. In other words, first confirm whether the goldfish is sick. Different phenomena require different treatments.

Second, if the water of the goldfish is not treated and bubbles suddenly appear on it, and the bubbles are attached to the goldfish's body surface and fins, and the goldfish does not like to move, always floating on the water surface and unable to sink, and the goldfish loses its sense of balance, this situation is considered to be bubble disease, which usually occurs in water containing a lot of organic matter. A large amount of organic matter produces harmful gases (bubbles). In the process of bubbles floating up from the bottom of the water, they attach to the normally swimming goldfish and cause the goldfish to become sick.

Third, to prevent this gas bubble disease, we need to analyze the source of gas generation and improve the geology to avoid the generation of harmful gases in the water. We also need to strictly control the number of plankton in the water, such as algae. The purpose is to prevent algae and other plankton from producing large amounts of carbon dioxide gas through photosynthesis.

Fourth, if the problem of goldfish attaching bubbles occurs after changing the water, it may also be because too much water is changed, causing the water pressure in the water to suddenly decrease, and adding water to the tank too quickly causes the water pressure to suddenly rise. Therefore, the internal and external pressures felt by the goldfish's body surface are unbalanced, thus generating bubbles that wrap the entire body of the fish. This kind of damage may be fatal to the fish.

Fifth, if you encounter this situation, you should deal with it immediately. You can help the goldfish brush away the bubbles on its body and help it regain its balance. At the same time, be careful not to change the water too quickly or too much in the future. The normal water change amount is to change one-third of the total water volume of the fish tank. At the same time, add water slowly.

Feeding method:

Although goldfish is an omnivorous fish that has been completely domesticated by humans, like other fish such as crucian carp, whether the feed is selected properly and whether the feeding is correct can directly affect the growth and development of goldfish, the depth and brightness of color, the appearance of characteristics, whether it is plump, the number of eggs laid, the hatching rate and the disease resistance of goldfish. Therefore, the feed of goldfish must contain nutritious protein, fat, carbohydrates, various vitamins and a certain amount of inorganic salts and trace elements.

For example: Under the condition that other conditions are exactly the same, fish that are fed enough fresh and live blood worms every day will grow very large, especially the lion head, blisters and other features (referring to tumors and blisters) will be more developed. This may be because blood worms contain a lot of animal protein, fat, carbohydrates and other rich nutrients.

It is better to feed them with 0.5% salt water. There is chlorine in tap water, so you should expose them to the air for half a day to remove the chlorine, or rinse them with commercially available neutralizing liquid or vitamin C candy four to five times to neutralize the toxicity. Well water contains more harmful substances, so you should also pay attention to it.

In addition, there is a breeding method called "green water" among goldfish breeders, which controls the amount of phytoplankton and algae in the water tank to keep the water in a slightly transparent green tea color. By eating phytoplankton in the water, the body color of goldfish can be made more colorful, and it can also ease the drastic change of water quality when changing water. However, if it is not properly managed, the excessive reproduction of phytoplankton will make the green water color too dark, which is easy to cause diseases in goldfish.

3. Do dried red worms need to be soaked before feeding them to fish?

Do not soak the dried red worms in water. Fish do not like the dried red worms soaked in water. It is better to grind them into powder and make them into fish bait.

You can dry live baits such as bloodworms and store them in cans to feed fish slowly, but they must be dried, otherwise they will go bad easily. When the weather is good, regularly dry the dried worms again.

Red worms are a killer for fishing. Many fish like red worms very much. They are one of the live baits we have been exposed to for the longest time.

Yes, but don’t soak the dried red worms in water. Fish don’t like the dried red worms soaked in water. Grind them into powder and make them into bait, which will be better for fish.

5. Can red worms be used to catch carp and bream?

Can

Red worms can be used to catch carp, which is a freshwater fish native to Asia. They often live alone or in small groups in calm, humus-rich ponds, streams, rivers, lakes and other water bodies. When foraging, they eat insect eggs, seeds, etc. in the humus like pigs. If strip-shaped, forward-shaped bubbles appear, it can be concluded that carp are foraging.

Red worms can be used to catch bream, which is a general term for bream and other bream species such as the triangular bream and the roundhead bream. They are widely distributed in medium and large lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. They like to live in the middle and lower layers of open water areas with silt bottom and submerged plants. They mainly feed on aquatic vascular plants such as Vallisneria, Hydrilla verticillata, and Potamogeton.
