Preservation with wet cloth: prepare some cloth and soak it in water, then wrap the bloodworms in it and preserve them.

Soil preservation: Live red worms can also be preserved in soil. A certain amount of water also needs to be added to the soil because red worms like a humid environment.

Preserve with water: You can also preserve the living red worms directly in water.

The temperature in the south should not be too high. If necessary, it can be stored in the refrigerator. Also, pay attention to changing the water regularly to prevent the water quality from being too poor.

2. Is it good for the fry to always eat fresh bloodworms?

No, you can't feed fish bloodworms all the time. Although bloodworms are attractive to most fish and are good for fish coloring, they lack some other nutrients. Compared with fish feed, the nutritional content of bloodworms is relatively simple. It is best to feed fish with feed as the main food, and bloodworms can be fed 1-2 times a week occasionally to enrich the diet.

3. How many days can live red worms be preserved?

Here are some common methods for preserving red worms:

1. How to store red worms in leftover tea leaves:

We drink scented tea every day, and pour the remaining scented tea roots into a container and save them. Go to the fishing tackle store to buy 5 yuan of red worms, put them in the container for tea, stir them, and store them in a cool place. When using, 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 that have been drunk again to maintain the amount of remaining 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 remaining tea leaves cannot become too dry.

2. Sandy soil method for storing red worms:

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 keep 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 and 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 peel, tear it into fingernail-sized pieces with clean hands and pour it into the container with the red worms, cover it with the remaining wet cotton cloth, and put it in the refrigerator. The wet cloth and orange peel can be changed once a week, picking out the discolored dead worms when changing them. It can generally be stored for about 40 days.

4. Storage method of washing red worms with running water:

Wash the purchased red worms with water, pick out the dead ones, put them into the worn-out mercerized jackets of lesbians, tie them tightly with a rope and put them into the toilet tank. Tie it with a rope to prevent it from being flushed away when the water is released. If the water does not contain bleach, it can be stored for 15-20 days without any problem.

The above is the method of preserving red worms.

4. Can live red worms be fed directly to goldfish?

Yes, because live bloodworms are brightly colored and abundant in number, feeding them to goldfish can fill their stomachs, and they can be digested by the stomach and intestines when eaten directly. Bloodworms are rich in protein, and eating them can improve the immunity of goldfish.

5. How to preserve fresh bloodworms?

Take out the red worms and place them on an old newspaper. It is best to stack the old newspapers several times, and then let the water on the red worms soak the old newspapers. Then put the old newspapers and red worms in a plastic bag. Don't tie the plastic bag too tightly, and then store it in the refrigerator. Generally, it is fine to store it for half a month.

6. Is it okay to keep live red worms in the fish tank for a long time?

It can be kept in a fish tank for a long time, provided that there are no fish in the fish tank.

Red worms can be raised in water, and the main method used to raise them is water culture. As long as the correct method is adopted, red worms can be raised in water for a long time.

Another way is to temporarily preserve the red worms in water, which can preserve the red worms for a longer time. But at the same time, you may need to pay attention to other environmental factors, such as the water temperature should not be too high, the water quality should not be too poor, etc. After doing these, the red worms can be preserved in water for a longer time.

If there are fish in the fish tank, they will eat the bloodworms. And long-term consumption of bloodworms will affect the fish's stomach and intestines.

7. How to quickly screen out live red worms?

The live red worms are bright red and will wriggle slowly in the water, while the dead worms are dull or even gray and will float directly to the surface of the water.

The simplest method is to find a basin filled with clean water, then pour all the red worms into the water. The living ones will be under the water, and the dead ones will float up. Use a small net to catch the dead ones, then pour the living ones into the net, and then put them into the red worm box.

8. How to disinfect fresh red worms before feeding them to fish?

Live red worms need to be rinsed with salt water two or three times before feeding fish, and then disinfected with ozone. After disinfection, rinse with clean water and feed.

Try to avoid using potassium permanganate to disinfect live bloodworms. Potassium permanganate residues are harmful to fish.

It is best for breeders to feed frozen bloodworms to prevent parasitic insects from accompanying the live worms and causing harm to the fish.

9. Can live red worms be fed directly to fish?

Can't.

Live bloodworms for feeding fish need to be washed two or three times with salt water, and then disinfected with ozone or potassium permanganate. After disinfection and sterilization, wash them several times with clean water and feed them to fish.

When disinfecting live bloodworms, breeders are advised to avoid using potassium permanganate for disinfection. Potassium permanganate itself is toxic, and it is easy to leave residues after disinfection and rinsing with clean water, which will be harmful to the health of fish.

Live bloodworms have high nutritional value and are rich in protein, which can promote the growth and development of fish. However, it is recommended that breeders feed frozen bloodworms to avoid live worms carrying parasites and thus infecting fish.

10. What is the difference between fresh and dried red worms?

Feeding fresh bloodworms is better and will have a better effect on the fish than feeding frozen bloodworms.

1. The red skin of red worms is not rich in nutrients. The real nutrients are in their stomachs. At this point, you will understand that the water in the dried red worms is dried out, and almost only the outer skin with little nutrients is left. If you feed it to goldfish, the only effect it can play is to keep your fish from being hungry. As for the role of promoting fish growth and increasing fish disease resistance, etc., it can basically be ignored.

2. Another point, as for the palatability of fresh and dried bloodworms, just as we always think that fresh apples and bananas are better than dried apples and bananas, the same is true for fish, fresh ones are always better than dried ones.
