What is the best feed for crucian carp and grass carp?

Specifically, the following points should be noted when feeding grass carp feed:

First, you need to choose the feed and its palatability.

Grass carp feed should be made from regular large-scale manufacturers and companies to ensure quality stability. Currently, there are pellet feed, puffed feed, and powder feed, but it is best to choose puffed feed, followed by pellet feed. Then, according to the specifications of grass carp in the water body, the particle size of the pellet feed should be selected to make it palatable for grass carp to swallow. Generally, fish with a size of 50 to 100 grams should use feed with a particle size of 2.5 mm; fish with a size of 200 to 400 grams should use feed with a particle size of 3.5 to 5 mm; fish with a size of more than 500 grams should use feed with a particle size of more than 5.5 mm. If the selection is inappropriate, feed with a particle size that is too large or too small will affect the fish's swallowing effect and reduce the feed utilization rate.

Second, choose the feeding amount. The daily feeding amount should be selected based on factors such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, and water quality. Generally, it is better to start feeding on a sunny day, 2 hours after the sun comes out, when the dissolved oxygen reaches a certain level. Try to feed less or not feed on rainy days or when fish float to the surface.

The specific feeding amount is: when the water temperature is between 18 and 20℃, the daily feeding amount accounts for about 1 to 1.5% of the total weight of the fish eaten; when the water temperature is between 22 and 26℃, the daily feeding amount accounts for about 2 to 3% of the total weight of the fish eaten; when the water temperature is between 26 and 32℃, the daily feeding amount accounts for about 3 to 5% of the total weight of the fish eaten; when the water temperature is above 32℃, the daily feeding amount accounts for about 2 to 2.5% of the total weight of the fish eaten.

Third, we must achieve "four determinations and three observations".

Timing, positioning, quantity, quality, weather, water quality, and fish conditions. Generally, it is required to configure a feeding machine for feeding, so that the specifications of the cultured fish are uniform. When taming fish to eat, the fish must float to the surface of the water to grab food, otherwise the feed cannot be fed. Generally, the maximum weight of fish fed by a feeding machine is about 5,000 kilograms. The feeding machine is set in the water body with a depth of 2-4 meters.

Fourth, feed with green feed. When feeding compound feed, you can feed green feed with it. Green feed is beneficial to enhance the physique of fish and reduce breeding costs. Green feed is preferably ryegrass, Mexican corn, and sorghum. Feed green feed once a day, preferably 2 hours after feeding compound feed, or feed at night.

Fifth, check the feeding area regularly. Check whether there is any residual feed at the bottom of the water and observe the growth of grass carp so as to adjust the weight and quality of feed in time.

Bait formula for wild fishing of carp, crucian carp and grass carp

What kind of water should crucian carp be raised in and what should it eat?

There are no special requirements for water quality when raising small crucian carp, as long as the oxygen content in the water is sufficient. If the water area is too small, it is best to prepare an oxygen pump.

The feed for raising small crucian carp can be appropriately fed with grain feed such as millet and wheat. You can also choose commercial pellet feed specially made for crucian carp. You can also appropriately feed some animal bait such as mealworms.

Do not feed too much feed at one time. Under normal circumstances, feed a small amount once in the morning and evening every day.
