How to raise shrimp at home: you need to provide containers, good water conditions, and feed.

1. Provide containers

When raising shrimps at home, you need to provide them with suitable growth containers. The size of the container can be determined according to the number and size of the shrimp, and the container needs It is a glass box with relatively good light transmittance, which helps the shrimp receive sunlight, accelerates its growth, and makes it easy to observe the growth of the shrimp.

2. Water quality conditions

When raising shrimps at home, it is necessary to provide them with a non-polluting and slightly acidic water source, and shrimps grow slowly in weakly acidic soft water, and It is easy to shell, but shrimps will grow faster in weakly acidic hard water, have beautiful colors, and are not easy to shell. They can be cultured in mineral water, tap water or surface water.

3. Provide feed

Shrimps need sufficient protein during their growth. When raising shrimps at home, you need to provide them with special feeds such as bean cakes, snails and minced meat to make the shrimps grow quickly. To grow, you can also feed some vegetarian food, such as cucumbers, algae, aquatic plants and other foods to enhance the resistance of shrimps, but it is best not to feed dead fish or shrimps.

Precautions for shrimp farming

1. The quality of water directly affects the healthy growth and development of shrimp. During the breeding process, the pH value of the pond water should be maintained between 7.5 and 8.5. , the transparency is 30cm ~ 40cm, new water should be added frequently, quicklime solution should be poured regularly, the water quality should be adjusted to prevent the occurrence of diseases and unsuccessful shelling.

2. Feed feed reasonably. Shrimp will kill each other when they are hungry and lack food, so the amount of feeding must be sufficient. The feed of shrimp is animal and plant feed. Plant-based feeds include wheat, aquatic plants, rapeseed cakes, etc., and animal-based feeds include miscellaneous fish, miscellaneous meat, and animal offal. Usually, the feeding time, feeding amount and feeding method are determined based on the shrimp's diurnal and nocturnal habits and the density of shrimp in the pond. Otherwise, the feed cost will be increased and the breeding efficiency will be reduced.

3. Scientific fishing. In the process of shrimp farming, when the temperature is suitable and the feed is sufficient, the young shrimps can usually grow to commercial size in 60 to 90 days. Seedlings are released in March, and rotational harvesting begins around June, catching the big ones and leaving the small ones. By catching the big ones and keeping the small ones, and rotating the catches and releasing them, the catch rate can be increased, the catches can be sold at a good price, and the goal of high yields can be achieved.
