Advantages of polyculture:

1, Monopterus albus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus have different feeding habits, so they can make full use of different bait capital in waters. Mixed culture of loach can also eat the residual bait left by Monopterus albus, reducing feed loss and waste, which can not only avoid the deterioration of water quality, but also sow a certain amount of loach and increase economic monthly income.

2. Mixed culture of Monopterus albus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus does not need to feed more bait to Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, just feed other fish. The food source of loach is bait that fish can't eat and feces discharged. Therefore, this farming method has high benefit and great water resources utilization value, which is worth popularizing. Paddy field planting is a vast rice area in the south of China. Using paddy field to raise loach can not only save water surface, but also get food, which has remarkable economic benefits and is a good planting and breeding model for efficient agriculture. ?

Extended data:

Monopterus albus likes to dig holes in humus mud or in cracks with water on the embankment during the day. Little activity during the day, foraging at night. Night activities, oral skin folds can breathe, so you can breathe air directly. In winter and dry season, caves will be dug to a depth of 1-2 meters, where several kinds of fish live.

Misgurnus anguillicaudatus is a small bottom fish, which lives in still water or slow flowing water at the bottom of silt, and has strong adaptability and can live in an environment rich in humus. When the water lacks oxygen, it can breathe in the intestine. When the water dries up, it can sneak into the mud and feed on various small animals.

Monopterus albus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus have different habitat habits and feeding habits, and do not eat each other. Mixing these two kinds of fish in the same pond can make full use of all kinds of natural bait in various water layers and water bodies and give full play to the production potential of the pond.
