CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Should red worms be raised in water or dry? (Is it better to raise red worms in water or dry?)

1. 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.

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. Can red worms be raised in water?

How to raise red worms:

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 a great opportunity for us to collect red worms.

2. 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 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 surface of the water 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 reduced. In winter, when the red worms are not seen in the water tank, do not pour out the water in the tank, because they are hiding in the green algae. We 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. Can red worms be soaked in water?

Red worms can be raised in water because they are themselves a kind of microorganism in the water and are a source of food for many fish.

Whether it is a small tropical fish, a cold-water fish, or a large tropical fish, when they are very young, bloodworms are the main source of food, because its nutritional value is very high, it can bring rich nutrition to the fish, and at the same time, it can also enhance growth and development.

5. How to raise the small red worms that are used to feed fish?

If the red worms you mentioned refer to water fleas, you can prepare a bucket and use the water replaced from the fish tank to raise them, and feed them with egg yolk water or yeast on a regular basis. If you mean bloodworms, which are strip-shaped like earthworms, it is impossible to raise them at home because bloodworms grow in some dirty places, and adult bloodworms will turn into mosquitoes and fly away. It is recommended that you go to some flower and bird markets to buy them, or use feed instead. I hope this helps you.

6. Can red worms be preserved in water?

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. Is it better to raise red worms in water or dry place?

Water well.

Red worms will not drown if they are raised in water, because they live in water. However, if they are raised in water inappropriately, they may drown or die from other reasons. For example, water depth is an important factor. When raising red worms, the water should not be too deep. The depth of the breeding pond should be about 20 cm, and a few centimeters is enough for domestic breeding. In addition, water quality and dissolved oxygen content are also very important, so not changing the water for a long time will also lead to the death of red worms.

8. Can I keep the red worms I bought in the soil of a flowerpot?

Red worms cannot be raised in potting soil, because red worms are aquatic organisms, living in the mud at the bottom of the ditch. In the potting soil, the soil lacks water and is relatively dry, and lacks food nutrition, so the worms will die. Red worms are a favorite bait for anglers, and are usually raised in a bucket. You can also dig a hole in potatoes or radishes, put the red worms in the hole, seal it, and store it in the refrigerator for about a week. It is still fresh.

9. Can red worms be raised in water?

Bloodworms can be raised in water because they are a kind of microorganism in the water and are the source of food for many fish. Whether it is small tropical fish, cold water fish, or large tropical fish, when they are very young, bloodworms are the main source of food because of their high nutritional value. They can bring rich nutrition to fish and enhance their growth and development.
