Loach is a fish with high nutritional value. It is favored by people and has a promising market prospect. Loaches do not have strict requirements for water quality. They can be cultured in ponds, rice fields, ditches and pits at the head of fields. They have broad development space in rural areas and are an effective way for farmers to increase their income and become rich.

Tools/Materials: Loach

Steps/Materials:

1. Apply sufficient base fertilizer. Loach’s food habits are complex, including small animals, plants, and microorganisms in the water body. and organic debris are its food. Before the seedlings are planted in the pond, sufficient base fertilizer (livestock or poultry manure is acceptable) should be applied to propagate feed organisms. Generally, 10 to 15 kilograms of organic fertilizer per square meter is applied.

2. Feeding methods Artificial breeding of loaches must also be fed with certain commercial feeds, such as rice bran, bean cakes, bean dregs, wheat bran, wine troughs, etc. The feeding amount is generally 4% to 5% of the loach's body weight. When the temperature is between 25 and 28°C, loach feeds most vigorously, so the feeding amount can be appropriately increased to promote its growth. The feeding method should be to set up a feeding table at a fixed point, and the feeding time should be in the evening.

3. Daily management When the water temperature exceeds 30°C, most loaches burrow into the mud to escape the heat, which can easily lead to death from hypoxia and suffocation. At this time, new water should be added frequently to adjust the water temperature and increase water dissolution. Oxygen, and at the same time, shading measures must be taken. Aquatic plants such as water hyacinth and duckweed can be used for shading. In addition, it is necessary to patrol the pond frequently to identify problems and deal with them in a timely manner.
