CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Do mantis shrimp eat steamed bread crumbs?

1. Do mantis shrimp eat steamed bread crumbs?

It is not recommended to feed steamed bread crumbs to mantis shrimp fry.

Generally speaking, mantis shrimp fry mainly feed on fresh shellfish, but they also eat small fish and shrimp. So when choosing feed, we need to consider whether these shellfish, small fish and shrimp are contaminated and whether they are safe.

Let's take a look at the breeding of mantis shrimp:

1. Water quality

Water quality management is very important for breeding mantis shrimp, as it determines whether the mantis shrimp can survive. Generally, the oxygen content in the water for breeding mantis shrimp should be kept above 5ml/L, and the water should be changed every day, with the amount of water changed controlled at one-third or one-quarter each time. If water flow breeding can be adopted, water change is not required. In addition, the temperature of the water body should also be paid attention to. Generally, it is best to keep it at around 20 to 27 degrees, with the lowest temperature not lower than 6 degrees and the highest temperature not higher than 30 degrees.

2. Feed

When choosing feed for mantis shrimp farming, we must pay attention to choosing appropriate and high-quality feed. Generally speaking, mantis shrimp mainly feed on fresh shellfish, but also eat small fish and shrimp. So when choosing feed, we need to consider whether these shellfish, small fish and shrimp are contaminated and safe. Don't buy cheap and low-quality feed just for the sake of temporary cheapness, otherwise it will not be worth the loss.

3. Feeding

When feeding mantis shrimp, we should pay attention to cutting the bait into small pieces and evenly placing it to avoid food snatching. Secondly, according to the living habits of mantis shrimp, feeding is generally done in the evening every day, once a day, and the feeding amount is appropriately increased or decreased according to the weather conditions, the growth of mantis shrimp, water temperature, feed type, feed quality, etc. You can't feed too much or too little, otherwise it will affect the growth of mantis shrimp.

4. Escape prevention

When breeding mantis shrimp, we also need to prevent them from escaping. If the farm is not properly constructed, the mantis shrimp will escape, and the loss of breeding will be very heavy. Therefore, we need to put up protective nets in the farm before breeding, which can effectively prevent the mantis shrimp from escaping. Of course, we also need to properly repair the breeding pond and make it as smooth as possible, which can also play a role in preventing escape.

5. Reproduction

We also need to pay special attention to the reproduction of mantis shrimp. Generally, during the reproduction period of mantis shrimp, we need to put some wet soft mud at the bottom of the breeding pond. If the breeding environment is not comfortable, mantis shrimp will stop breeding. Especially if the bottom of the breeding pond is a cave, it is even more unsuitable for mantis shrimp to lay eggs.

6. Disease

In the process of breeding mantis shrimp, we must do a good job of inspection and keep records of the growth of mantis shrimp, so that we can understand the growth of mantis shrimp and find problems in time and make solutions. We must clean and disinfect the breeding environment in time to reduce the invasion of pests and diseases. Secondly, we must enhance the immunity of mantis shrimp through feeding. In addition, we must strictly follow the vaccination prevention process for disease prevention.

2. Is the mantis shrimp a sea shrimp or a river shrimp? How to breed it?

Mantis shrimps are sea shrimps, they are standard marine organisms. Mantis shrimps like to grow in a warm environment, mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas, and only a few live in temperate waters. Mantis shrimps have a wide distribution range, and are also distributed in countries such as Russia, Japan, the Philippines, and coastal provinces in my country. They grow in seawater all year round and cannot adapt to freshwater environments, so mantis shrimps are standard sea shrimps. 1. Is mantis shrimp a sea shrimp or a river shrimp? Mantis shrimps are sea shrimps because they all live in the ocean. Biyuan mantis shrimps like to live in warm waters, so they are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical waters, and of course a few live in temperate waters. Mantis shrimps have a relatively strong ability to survive, and their distribution range is also relatively wide. They are distributed in countries such as Russia, Japan, and the Philippines. In addition, they are also distributed in coastal provinces in my country. Mantis shrimps live in seawater all year round and cannot adapt to freshwater life. If they are placed in fresh water, they will generally die if they cannot last too long.

2. How to farm mantis shrimp 1. Farming pond: If you want to farm mantis shrimp on a large scale, you need to prepare a separate breeding pond for them. If conditions permit, you can choose a coastal location to build a breeding pond, so that it will be more convenient to obtain seawater.

2. Environment: Mantis shrimp is a marine organism, and seawater is required for breeding. Natural seawater is the best, but if it is not available, adding sea salt or seawater essence to fresh water is OK. Mantis shrimp likes to live in a warm environment, and the water temperature for breeding should be above 20℃. In addition, they need more oxygen, and the dissolved oxygen content in the water should be maintained at 5 millimolar grams per liter.

3. Feeding: Mantis shrimps are not picky about food. When breeding, you can feed them some earthworms, bloodworms, animal offal and other foods, so that they can grow faster. You can choose to feed mantis shrimps in the morning and evening, when their appetite is better.

3. I would like to ask how to raise mantis shrimp?

First of all, never use tap water!!!

Before raising mantis shrimp, you need to understand the species and living habits of mantis shrimp. Then when you buy mantis shrimp, you need to prepare a large breeding tank at home (the size of the tank is determined by the species of mantis shrimp), and put celery branches and other utensils in the tank to simulate the living environment of mantis shrimp.

You can only raise one mantis shrimp. It is best not to raise more than one. Mantis shrimps have a strong sense of territory, otherwise you will see a tank full of dead mantis shrimps the next day.

If mantis shrimp are kept in a small space, although they can survive, it is not conducive to their growth and they are prone to stereotyped behaviors.

1. Water culture method

This is the simplest method, which uses a shrimp box or shrimp bag with an electric pump. However, this method is not ideal because the shrimp will swim around in the water, which will consume a lot of energy and greatly reduce its mobility.

2. Refrigerator Refrigeration Method

This method is a common method. Take a plastic box, put a wet towel (wet paper towel) inside, then put the mantis shrimp in, put another layer of wet towel (wet paper towel) on top, and then put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration. Note that you cannot put the plastic box directly in the refrigerator, or the shrimp will be frozen to death. Be sure to put a wet towel (wet paper towel) to ensure humidity.

3. Sand culture method

This method is relatively rare. It also requires a plastic box, some hand-pick and ventilation holes, and a layer of one to two inches of fine sand. The best fine sand is the sea sand on the beach. This environment is closest to the living environment of shrimp, so it is easy for shrimp to adapt. It can usually be kept for 2-3 days, and in winter it can be kept for 4-5 days or even a week. However, it should be noted that the sand for shrimp should be cleaned and exposed to the sun frequently.

Additional information

Mantis shrimp contains a lot of water, and contains vitamins, chlorotic acid, inosinic acid, aminopropionic acid and other nutrients needed by the human body. It is a juicy, tender and nutritious seafood food.

Every spring is the most plump season for mantis shrimps. At this time, the mantis shrimps are full of fat and taste very delicious, but unfortunately there is not enough meat. However, the meat of mantis shrimps is still very plump and contains rich protein, fat, vitamins, inosinic acid, aminopropionic acid and other nutrients needed by the human body.

At the same time, mantis shrimp is rich in trace elements such as calcium and magnesium. Calcium promotes bone development, while magnesium has a good regulating effect on the heart. It is also rich in phosphorus, which is a good tonic for children and pregnant women.

In addition, mantis shrimp also has the effects of nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang, promoting lactation and detoxification, stimulating appetite and resolving phlegm, and has a good therapeutic effect on kidney deficiency, impotence, spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, milk blockage, neurasthenia, etc. It can also be used to eliminate "jet lag".
