CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to feed red worms (how to feed 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 is the easiest way to raise 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

During the process of breeding red worms, the water quality 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.

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. What is the correct way to feed fish with red worms?

First, wash the red worms thoroughly, and wash them back and forth about 10 times. On the one hand, it is to generally clean the impurities on the surface, and on the other hand, it allows the waste to be discharged from the body. There is also another way of saying that it is to put the red worms in clean water for 4 hours before taking them out. Although the methods are different, the actual effect is similar.

The second step is to pick out the dead insects and soak the rest in high-concentration potassium permanganate for about half an hour, and wash it back and forth several times to ensure that the potassium permanganate is basically diluted.

The third step is to add vitamin B12 to the water used to soak the red worms. Soak them for about an hour, then take them out and put them in the refrigerator.

The above three steps are not strict templates. For example, salt can be added directly in the cleaning process in the first step; the disinfectant in the second step can be replaced with a combination of yellow powder and salt. In short, as long as it can remove the bacteria and parasites on the red worms, it will be fine.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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

8. How to raise red worms?

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.

Water changes

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.

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.

9. How to feed red worms, use them for fishing, and keep them as ornamental fish at home? Can anyone share some experience with me?

Prepare the culture container: It should not be too small. Generally, a water tank with a diameter of half a meter is enough. You can also use a larger water basin. If you have a ready-made pond, it is also perfect. The water depth should not be too deep. Half a meter of water is considered deep. The water quality should be relatively turbid. As the saying goes, clear water means no fish or worms. Light: Red worms have more requirements for light. Generally, they can be placed in the sun. However, the sun is very strong now. If the water temperature is too high, you need to add cold water or place it in a cool place.
