You can feed loaches rice, but they should not be exposed to oil or water.

Loaches like to eat fly maggots, earthworms, fish meal, water fleas, wheat bran, rice bran, vegetable cakes and other foods. Feeding should be reasonably matched according to the loach's growth stage, at a fixed time and at a fixed location, and uneaten food should be fished out in time to avoid contaminating the water quality.

Generally, loaches can be fed food such as fly maggots, fish meal, water fleas, earthworms, pig blood meal, silkworm chrysalis meal, rice bran, wheat bran, vegetable cakes, etc. Loach is an omnivorous small fish with a wide range of food sources. Wild loach mostly feeds on plankton, aquatic insects, crustaceans and other organisms, and sometimes also eats humus or mud at the bottom of the water.

1. Precautions for raising loach

1. Loach is an omnivorous animal. It mainly eats earthworms, fish, cicada pupae, etc. When raising loach, , of course, you must pay attention to the amount of food, not too much.

2. Feed the loach with a mixed diet. Small animals, plants, microorganisms and organic debris in the water are all its favorite foods. Artificial breeding should also be fed animal feeds such as maggots, earthworms, small fish meat, clam meat, fish meal, livestock and poultry scraps, and plant feeds such as wheat bran, rice bran, bean dregs, and cake meal. Timing, fixed point, fixed quality and quantitative feeding. The amount of feeding depends on the water quality, weather, and feeding conditions. When the water temperature is suitable, feed once a day in the morning, noon, and evening. When the water temperature is low, feed once a day in the morning and afternoon.

3. In artificial breeding, plant feeds such as wheat bran, rice bran, Chinese cow cakes, bean cakes, vegetable cakes and duckweed can be fed, appropriately combined with a small amount of fish meal, silkworm pupae, etc. Loach feed mainly includes earthworms, silkworm pupae, yellow mealworms, snails, clams and small fish and shrimps. Among them, earthworms are the favorite feed of loaches and eels, and their dry body protein content reaches 61, which is close to fish meal and silkworm pupae. The main thing these feeds have in common is that they have high protein content, rich nutrients, and high conversion rates, which are beneficial to the growth and development of loaches and eels, making them the best choice for feeds.

4. When raising loaches, it is best to feed them high-protein foods so that they can grow well.
