What do loaches eat?

It feeds on small crustaceans, insect larvae and water worms. When raised artificially, it can be fed with insects, small crustaceans, water worms, stems and leaves of tender plants, etc. It can also be fed with bean cakes, bean dregs, coarse bran, etc., and can be appropriately matched with fish meal and silkworm pupae. Loaches often feed on leftover feed from other fish, so loaches are called cleaners in fish ponds. Loaches like to eat earthworms, aquatic insects, water fleas and potato crustaceans. They also eat some filamentous algae, plant roots, stems, leaves and humus. If the food is reduced, you will also eat mud and algae. If it is a farmed loach, you can eat bean cakes, rice bran and other foods. Please click to enter the picture description. 1. Wild loaches Wild loaches prey on plankton, aquatic insects, crustaceans, aquatic higher plant debris, algae, etc. Sometimes they also eat underwater humus or sludge.

Loaches should be fed with bean dregs, wheat bran, animal offal, maggots, fish meal, water fleas, earthworms, rice bran, vegetable cakes, etc.

Loach is suitable for mixed culture with other fish. This culture method has high benefits and great utilization value of water surface loss and is worthy of promotion. Advantages of mixed culture: There is no need to feed loach with more bait, only other fish need to be fed, and the uneaten bait and feces discharged by fish are the food source of loach.

Loaches usually come out at night to prey on plankton, aquatic insects, crustaceans, debris of higher aquatic plants and algae, and sometimes also ingest humus or mud on the bottom of the water.

Loach, belongs to the family Cobitidae. Loach is called "the ginseng of the water". It is distributed in all parts of southern China. It is not common in the north but is also distributed everywhere. It can be harvested all year round, and is most abundant in summer. After being caught, loach can be used fresh or dried. Loach lives in lakes and ponds, and is small in size, only three or four inches long. It has a round body, a short body, small scales under the skin, a dark blue color, and is covered with its own mucus, making it slippery and difficult to hold. It is a fish with high nutritional value. It is different from other fish in terms of appearance, body shape, and living habits. It is a special loach. The body is slender, and the front section is slightly cylindrical. The back is flattened, the abdomen is round, the head is small, the mouth is small and low, and it is in the shape of a horse's hoof. The eyes are small, and there are no spines under the eyes. There are 5 pairs of whiskers. The scales are extremely small, round, and buried under the skin. The back and sides of the body are grayish black, with many small black spots all over the body, and there are also many black spots on the head and fins. The spots on the dorsal and caudal fin membranes are arranged in rows, and there is a distinct black spot at the base of the caudal peduncle. The other fins are grayish white. Loaches are widely distributed in China, Japan, North Korea, Russia and India along the coast of Asia. They are edible and used as medicine.

Loach is a bottom fish, commonly found in shallow waters such as lakes, ponds, rice fields, ditches, etc. with deep bottom mud.

The living water temperature is 10-30℃, and the optimum water temperature is 25-27℃, so it should be a warm-water fish. When the water temperature rises to 30℃, loaches will dive into the mud to spend the summer. When the water temperature drops below 5℃ in winter, they will burrow into the mud at a depth of 20-30cm to hibernate. They have strong adaptability to low-oxygen environments. In addition to gill breathing, they can also breathe through the skin and intestines. Their vision is very weak, but their sense of touch and taste are extremely sensitive. They are omnivorous, and feed on animal baits in the juvenile stage, such as zooplankton, chironomid larvae, and silk earthworms. When they grow up, the range of baits expands. In addition to eating a variety of insects, they can also eat filamentous algae, plant roots, stems, leaves, and humus. Adult loaches mainly feed on chiton plants. They usually feed at night. They stop feeding when the water temperature is below 10℃ and above 30℃. Generally, loaches live in the soil and will burrow into the soil as quickly as possible when there is danger.

Loaches usually come out at night to prey on plankton, aquatic insects, crustaceans, debris of higher aquatic plants and algae, and sometimes also ingest humus or mud on the bottom of the water.

Loach fry has a strong selectivity for feed, so it is necessary to cultivate palatable baits such as rotifers and small phytoplankton, filter them with a 50-mesh standard sieve, feed them along the edge of the pond, and feed them with cooked egg yolks, fish meal, milk powder, bean cakes and other concentrated feeds appropriately. When the loach fry reaches 1 cm in length, it can already eat aquatic insects, insect larvae and organic debris. It can be fed with cooked bran, bran, corn flour, wheat flour and other plant feeds, mixed with chopped fish, shrimp, snails and mussels, and other animal feeds, 3 to 4 times a day. At the same time, gradually increase the proportion of compound feed in the feed to gradually adapt it to artificial compound feed. The feed should be placed on a feeding table about 5 cm from the bottom of the pond, and it should not be scattered. The daily feeding amount in the initial stage is 2% to 5% of the total weight of the loach fry, and 8% to 10% in the later stage. Loaches like fertile water, so fertilizers should be applied in time. Organic fertilizers such as chicken and duck manure can be applied, which can be put into woven bags and immersed in water. The amount of each application is about 0.5kg/; chemical fertilizers can also be applied. When the water temperature is low, ammonium nitrate can be applied 2g/, and when the water temperature is high, urea can be applied 2.5g/. Water quality management should be done well at ordinary times, and new water should be added in time to adjust the water quality. When the loach seedlings are raised for more than one month, they are 3-4cm long and begin to drill mud. They can be transferred to adult loach breeding.
