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.

3. How can red worms be preserved for a longer time?

Here are some common methods for preserving red worms:

1. How to store red worms with leftover tea leaves: We drink scented tea every day, and pour the leftover scented tea roots into a container and save them. Go to a fishing tackle store and buy 5 yuan worth of red worms, put them in a container for tea leaves, stir them, and store them in a cool place. When you need them, take out some of them from the container, pick out the red worms and tie them up for use, and put the rest back. Later, pour some of the tea roots you have finished drinking into it to keep the amount of leftover tea leaves. Generally, it can be stored for about 20 days to 1 month. But the temperature must be controlled between 10 degrees and 3 degrees, and the humidity must be maintained. The leftover tea leaves cannot become too dry.

2. Sandy soil storage method: Prepare a plastic basin, preferably with a lid, take 1 part of the black mud from the river, and 2 parts of the coarse sand, mix them together and put them in the plastic basin. Buy red worms for 5 yuan, put them in the middle layer of the container, and cover them with sand and mud. Keep the humidity of the mud and sand, and the temperature is also around 10 degrees (you can put it in the refrigerator, remember not the freezer) and keep it below. You can take a small amount of red worms from the sand and soil, pick them out and use them as a substitute, and restore the red worms and sand and soil when not in use. Mud and sand can store red worms for a long time, and red worms can survive in mud and sand for 1 month to 40 days. Sand and soil can also be replaced with fine wet soil containing about 30% water.

3. Storage method of using fresh orange peels to pretend to be red worms: Taking 50 grams of red worms as an example, first pour the purchased red worms into clean water to wash them, pick out the dead worms, then drain the water, find a container (not plastic), find a piece of cotton cloth to wet it with water, pour the watered red worms on the wet cotton cloth, put it in the container, use 50 grams of freshly washed orange peels, tear them into fingernail-sized pieces with clean hands, pour them into the container containing the red worms, pretend to be red worms, cover with the remaining wet cotton cloth, and put it in the refrigerator. The wet cloth and orange peels can be changed once a week, and pick out the discolored dead worms when changing. It can generally be stored for about 40 days.

4. Wash the red worms with running water to store them: Wash the red worms you bought with running water, pick out the dead ones, put them into the discarded mercerized jackets worn by female comrades, tie them up with ropes and put them into the water tank of the toilet. Tie them with ropes to prevent them from being flushed away when the water is turned on. If the water does not contain bleach, they can be stored for 15-20 days. The above is the storage method of red worms, please refer to it~~~

4. How to feed frozen bloodworms? Can I just put ice cubes in water?

It is best to feed the goldfish after it is completely thawed to avoid the fish swallowing the ice directly.

5. Why are there long worms in the water?

It should be red nematodes, which are red and thread-like. It is mainly related to weather conditions. Rising temperatures, heavy rain and humidity can easily lead to the proliferation of red nematodes. There are several main reasons for the presence of red nematodes in tap water: worms in the sewer crawl along the pipe wall into the tap spout and are flushed out when the water is released; tap water is not used for a long time, and the water in the water pipe becomes stagnant water and gradually breeds worms; there are blind paths in the tap water pipe, which breed worms over time.

Red nematodes are not parasites. As long as tap water with nematodes is boiled and consumed, human health will not be affected. To prevent the appearance of red nematodes, on the one hand, a good water-using environment should be maintained. On the other hand, household disinfectants such as "84" and "Dettol" can be used to disinfect sinks, sewer pipes and other places that are damp for a long time. If a solar water heater is used, the water should be completely drained when not in use for a long time, and it should be cleaned and disinfected when it is used again, otherwise red nematodes may breed. In addition, it should be noted that wet objects such as mops and rags should not be placed near tap water pools at night. At the same time, the drain of the pool can be plugged with a plug to prevent red nematodes from breeding and crawling out.

6. I found a lot of small black bugs in the bathroom. What are they? How do I kill them?

Clean it regularly, as it is an open-air environment and there may be these insects. Try not to drink the water as it may be harmful to the human body.

The red thread-like worms you mentioned are commonly known as red nematodes. They are related to weather conditions. Rising temperatures, heavy rain and high humidity can easily lead to the proliferation of red nematodes. There are several main reasons for the presence of red nematodes in tap water: worms in the sewer crawl along the pipe wall into the tap spout and are flushed out when the water is released; tap water is not used for a long time, and the water in the water pipe becomes stagnant water and gradually breeds worms; there are blind paths in the tap water pipe, which breed worms over time.

On the other hand, household disinfectants such as "84" and "Dettol" can be used frequently to disinfect sinks, sewer pipes and other places that are damp for a long time. If a solar water heater is used, the water should be completely drained when not in use for a long time, and attention should be paid to cleaning and disinfection when it is reused, otherwise red nematodes may also breed. In addition, care should be taken not to place wet objects such as mops and rags near tap water pools at night, and the drain outlet of the pool can be plugged with a stopper to prevent red nematodes from breeding and crawling out.

7. Will red worms die if kept in water?
