1, prepare the container
If you want to keep the bought loach at home temporarily, you must first prepare the breeding container. If there is a fish tank at home, the loach can generally be kept in the fish tank, and the fish tank should not be too shallow, otherwise the loach will easily jump out. If the loach is kept in a basin, the basin should be covered with a lid. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus belongs to benthic fish, and some clean fine sand can be put at the bottom of the container.
2. Fill the container with water
Fill the culture container with water, and pay attention to the elimination of chlorine in the water for raising loach. If you use tap water for culture, you should put tap water in the sun for 1 day in advance or add a few alum to eliminate chlorine before using it. After the water quality becomes dirty, it is necessary to change the water in time. The frequency of changing the water should be adjusted according to the number of loaches raised and the change of water quality. It is best to keep the water temperature at 22-28℃.
3. Appropriate feeding
Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is an omnivorous animal, and the requirements for bait are not very high. Generally, it is enough to feed some processed foods or residues, such as steamed bread, rice and plant debris. If you want loach to grow well, you can feed some chopped earthworm, fish and shrimp or silkworm chrysalis.
matters need attention
The management of water quality is particularly important in aquaculture. Only by maintaining the fertility and vitality of the water body can loach grow healthily, increase its yield and maximize its income. Too high breeding density will not only affect the normal feeding of loach, the growth and development of loach, improve the growth cycle, and easily miss the best market season, but also easily lead to the occurrence and spread of diseases, which will generally spread in a short time, leading to the death of a large area of loach.
Generally, the stocking density of loach with seedlings over 3cm is about 0. 1-0.2kg per square meter. With the growth of loach, it is easy to continuously reduce the breeding density. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is a warm fish, which can survive in the water temperature of10-30℃, and the most suitable water temperature is 25-28℃. During this temperature period, it is the time when its activity and food intake are the largest, and it also grows vigorously. At this time, it can grow rapidly as long as enough bait is used.
