If there is water in the bucket, they can live longer, but generally not more than 10 days.

They are very adaptable and can survive for several days without water. If you put them in a bucket without water, they can live for about 3 days, but then they will die because of lack of water. If there is water in the bucket, they can live longer, but limited by space and oxygen, they can't live long.

Protection methods of snakehead:

1, pond selection

To raise snakehead, it is necessary to prepare a pond with appropriate size, ensure the water depth is about 1.5m, clean weeds and plankton in the water, and provide a clean and tidy growth environment for snakehead.

2. Feed

Snakehead is a carnivorous fish, mainly small miscellaneous fish such as crucian carp. At the initial stage of culture, the chopped fry can be put into the pond or fed with artificial feed, mixed with bean powder, yeast powder, fish and shrimp, and fed to snakehead 2-3 times a day.

Step 3 clean the swimming pool

The excrement of snakehead is very easy to pollute the water source. Once the water quality is found to be turbid in the breeding process, it is necessary to inject new water into the pond, discharge the old black water and keep the pond water clean. In addition, July-September is a hot season every year, and snakehead needs to change water once a week.

Step 4 patrol the pond to increase oxygen

Snakehead has a big feeding habit and a lot of excrement, which is easy to fertilize the pool water, leading to plankton reproduction and lack of oxygen in the water. Therefore, it is necessary to patrol the pond every morning and evening to carefully observe the feeding and activities of snakehead. An aerator can be placed in the pond to provide oxygen for snakehead.
