Mudskippers won't run when they hit the nest, mainly because of their living habit, excited state and the need to protect the nest.

Mudskippers can be soaked in white wine for more than ten minutes so that they won't run when nesting. Loach nesting will affect the original ecological chain system of natural waters. Lua fishing grounds are generally pristine natural waters, a large number of nesting will lead to rapid reproduction of loach, destroying the original ecosystem.

The right season to fish with loach nesting is August, September and October. At this time, redtails usually gather in schools and chub are plentiful. Loach nesting is ideal for fishing at this time. Try to use smaller loaches when nesting, otherwise the smaller fish will not be able to eat them while fishing. You can also mix loach with sweetcorn to build a nest. It's best to fish with live loaches so they are more visually appealing.

Mudskipper reproduction

Mudskippers reproduce quickly and reproduce well. The loach usually starts to mature at the age of 2. The breeding season is from April to September. Generally the water temperature is 19 ℃ or more time to start spawning, the water temperature of about 24 ℃ spawning volume, strong reproductive activities. Loach is a benthic fish, generally living in the bottom silt of the still water or relieve the flow of water, such as lakes, ponds, rice paddies and so on. The loach prefers neutral or acidic clay soil, and the suitable water temperature for growth is 10-32℃.

The loach is generally active in the bottom mud or the bottom mud of the water and likes to come out day and night. Due to long-term in the dark environment, vision degradation, but the tentacles and lateral line is very sensitive, in the avoidance of enemies and foraging play a key role.

The loach can breathe not only with gills but also with intestines, so it has a strong tolerance to low dissolved oxygen. Mudskippers mainly ingest benthic organisms such as algae and zooplankton in the silt, and can be artificially fed with insects, aquatic earthworms, tender plant stems and leaves, soybean cake, soybean dregs, brown chaff and other foods.

Introduction of loach

The loach is a loach of the genus Loach in the order Loach.

Mudskipper is widely distributed in the Asian coast of China, Japan, Korea, Russia and India, inhabiting the bottom of the still water, often in lakes, ponds, ditches and the bottom of the paddy fields.

Mudskipper like shade and fear of sun, like shallow and fear of deep, lurking in the daytime in the weak light of the bottom of the water, come out in the evening to feed, the ability to adapt to the environment is strong, drought or unfavorable conditions, drilling into the mud layer, just to keep the wet skin, you can maintain life.

The loach is an omnivore with animal food as its main food, with a wide range of food, generally feeding on water fleas, water earthworms, insects, flat snails, water plants, humus and tiny organisms in the water and mud, etc. The loach is a multiple spawner. Loach is a multiple spawning fish, began breeding in early April, May-June spawning season, each spawning 4-7 days.
