Methods and techniques of loach culture are pond conditions, pond disinfection, loach fry placement, feed feeding, water quality control.

1, pond conditions

At present, artificial loach farming is mostly carried out in cement ponds, pond conditions require: area of 2 to 3 acres is good, the water depth of 50 to 60 centimeters, the bottom of the pond to lay 15 to 20 centimeters thick of fertilized mud and so on. And in the pond site selection should consider drainage, irrigation, transportation, sunlight, water quality and other environmental factors.

2, clean and disinfected

Pond around the position of about 1 cm from the shore can be planted some graminaceous plants (such as ryegrass, reed, etc.), for shade, for the cultivation of the quality of water is also beneficial. Seedlings in the pond before, with lime (150Kg per mu) splash the whole pond to disinfect the pond, when the pond water is green, can be put into the seedling.

3, loach seedling placement

Generally, loach seedling stocking density of 800 to 1,000 tails is appropriate, with micro-flow conditions can be increased. Note that the same pool should be stocked with the same batch of loach fry with the same hatching specifications to ensure balanced growth and improve the survival rate of seedlings.

4, feed feeding

Fresh from the pond loach seedlings, as long as the appropriate amount of feeding some cooked egg yolk, soybean meal, soybean cake and other easily digestible concentrate feed. When the seedling body grows to 1cm, has been able to prey on small insects in the water body, then you can feed some cooked wheat flour, chaff and chopped fish, shrimp and other feed, 3 to 4 times a day. In addition, in winter, when the water temperature is lower than 10 ℃ can not be fed, this time to appropriately reduce the depth of the pool water, but also can be drained first after the pool water in the bottom of the pool to lay a layer of straw, so that the loach safe overwintering.

5, water quality control

The loach species just into the pool, the pool water depth is maintained at 10 to 20 centimeters, and later with the growth of loach species, gradually deepen the water level to the depth of should be, usually a little shallower, hot and high temperature can be deepened a little, and often injected into the new water, to maintain a good water environment. If you find the loach swimming to the surface of the water to spit air, you should promptly add new water or take measures to increase oxygen.
