Zooplankton, chironomid larvae, silkworms, aquatic insects, crustaceans, aquatic higher plant debris, algae, etc. Sometimes it also ingests underwater humus or sludge. After growing up, the range of bait is expanded. Besides eating a variety of insects, filamentous algae, plant roots, stems, leaves and humus can also be eaten. Adult loach mainly feeds on plant food, mostly at night.
Among all kinds of animal foods, earthworm can provide rich protein for loach, which is one of loach's favorite foods. Loach generally likes slender earthworms. Cultured loach loves to eat fish meal. Fish meal is a high-protein feed material which is made of one or more kinds of fish, degreased, dehydrated and crushed.
Users can feed meat feeds such as snails, earthworms, silkworm pupa powder, mussel meat, internal organs of livestock and poultry, and mix them with a certain proportion of lower-priced plant feeds, such as rice bran, bran, bean dregs, third-class powder, old leaves, discarded fruits and vegetables, etc. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is mixed with other fish, so it can eat fish feces, residues and bait.
Feeding conditions of loach
1. Construction of feeding ponds.
Choose a place with good light, warm ventilation, convenient transportation, sufficient water, convenient water supply and drainage, and no pollution source within 3 kilometers to build a breeding pond. The loach pond soil is neutral or slightly acidic clay. Area100 ~ 300m2, pool depth 80 ~100cm, water depth 30 ~ 50cm. Clean the pond with quicklime and disinfect it 15 days before stocking loach fry.
2, a pool dedicated to raising cockroaches.
Because of its strong vitality, loach can get into wet mud even when basking in the sun in rice fields, and maintain its life through intestinal tract and skin breathing. Fishing facilities should be set at the entrance and exit to prevent escape.
Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is a benthic fish that inhabits the bottom of shallow muddy waters such as rivers, lakes, ditches, paddy fields and ponds. It lies in the daytime and comes out at night, which has strong adaptability and can live in an environment rich in humus. When the water lacks oxygen, it can jump to the surface and swallow air for intestinal breathing. When the pool is dry, it will dive into the mud. As long as there is a small amount of water in the soil, it will not die.
