The second bait
Personally, I think the general luohan disease is mostly related to feeding, water quality, fish suffering from internal parasites are mostly related to flagellates. Good or bad feeding will affect the growth and development of luohan and the chance of disease. People who have raised the seven-colored people know that the seven-colored easy to suffer from internal parasites. Therefore, we will pay attention to the hygiene of the bait when feeding the fish. The same attention should be paid to the hygiene of fish food to prevent the occurrence of disease. (If you think 07 said too much, then continue to adhere to their own feeding methods) to feed the luohan a lot of food, but the choice of healthy food is not much.
There are two main types of food for luohan:
(a) Artificial bait
1. dry food (pellet feed, dried shrimp, dried bloodworms, etc.). For this dry food type of fish food, some Luo Han is not to refuse, some are rather dead. Fish have different habits and qualities. So some luohan still refuse to eat feed and dried shrimp even after you have starved them for a few days. Personally, I feel that a good quality luohan will quickly accept feed. For those who refuse to eat feed, I also have a lenient attitude. You don't have to eat it.
Before deciding to buy pre-feed or dried shrimp in a familiar fish store to ask for some home, try the luohan's appetite, the refusal to eat, you can first starve it for three or five days in the feed to see. When choosing dry fish food, you should pay attention to the quality of the product and production date. Choose low-temperature, high protein content of the feed, low-temperature food feeding fish is not easy to fire, and better preservation of nutrients. Regularly change the feed, in order to balance the intake of nutrients. 07 recommended that fish friends use a good brand of feed to feed the fish.
07 do not recommend that the fish friends to buy the color effect of fast feed, the color effect is too fast will have a greater harm to the liver of the fish. (You just want to see the most colorful effect of the fish body, that's another story.) I heard that Taiwan's Bao red effect is good.
Luohan feed is generally divided into two kinds, drum head, color.
The main ingredients of the feed are starch, yeast, hormones and astaxanthin. Drumhead feed will contain higher protein, cholesterol. The purpose of the color enhancing feed is to make the reddish colored fish with reddish pigment gene become redder, if your fish does not contain reddish pigment gene, the feed is useless for it.
07The advice to newbies is to use the color enhancing feed to feed your fish, and to choose the feed that contains natural astaxanthin, not artificial chemical astaxanthin.
From an objective point of view, if the fish is small, feeding a large amount of pellet feed for a long time will be a certain harm to the fish.
For example: development, molding too early. After the adult fish reproduction ability is poor, after stopping feeding, the state is not good and so on. Some fish friends will ask "if so, why feed it?" The answer is that feed has its own advantages. First of all, it is clean, hygienic and easy to store. The hormones contained in it are beneficial to the disease resistance of luohan and reduce the chance of disease. Like a patient after a major surgery, the doctor will give him a shot of hormones to improve the body's ability to fight disease and promote wound healing is the same, the same reason. Secondly, the feed contains minerals and vitamins to prevent disease and growth of luohan is also useful. The last is to improve the body color, so that the fish's body color more dazzling.
07 views on the feed: can feed, to grasp the time and feeding amount. I remember the fish friends formula said "do not rush to attack the color, the color is a fish towards maturity of a performance, once started, the growth will be slow. That's right. As for when to start feeding.
I think that in order to better growth of luohan, should be in the age of the fish more than eight months after the beginning of feeding, feeding a small amount of food every day. The fish should not be fed as a staple food before they become adults. Dried shrimp and other dry food, as long as the fish can eat, when to feed can be. Feed dried shrimp, it is best to eat one after feeding another, each time should not be fed too much, seven can be full. To prevent the fish from prolapse. Dried bloodworms and other good digestion can be fed more. But feel too dry has no nutritional value.
2. burgers. There are finished burgers for sale, I think that thing from the production in the buy home to feed the fish during this period of time after a long time, the food has no nutrition to speak of.
There are also homemade burgers, which are too troublesome and time-consuming to make, so I haven't done it, I'm lazy, but I feel that this stuff should be fed to the fish in a nutritious and hygienic way. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you'll be able to do that with the help of your own personal computer. Natural bait feed
1. shrimp. Mainly river shrimp and marine shrimp, personal advice to feed the Luo Han do not take shrimp as staple food, it is best to use dried shrimp instead of frozen shrimp. Although the shrimp color effect is very good. But shrimp is a difficult to digest food. After feeding the river shrimp, the fish discharge of the stool is generally undigested white stool. Especially the shrimp head is rich in bacterial parasites.
Where does astaxanthin usually exist, some fish want to know? Well, I'll tell you. It's mostly found in the head of the shrimp, in the membrane between the inner skin and the flesh.
Some people say that "feeding shrimp is good and hygienic," but even shrimp contain parasites and bacteria. The more common parasites such as: sporozoites, flagellates, etc. are hidden in the body of the shrimp. Even after sterilization and 48 hours of freezing does not completely kill these bacteria. Shrimp guns can also irritate the fish's intestinal tract.
If you have to insist on feeding shrimp, it is recommended to feed the river shrimp, not the sea shrimp, a shrimp thick flesh is not easy to digest, in the long term salt intake is also detrimental to the fish's liver. If you insist on feeding, it is best to remove the head, tail, skin, cut into small pieces in the feed. Feeding river shrimp should also remove the head and tail, shrimp skin fish difficult to digest, if you do not mind the trouble of removing the shrimp skin, then the fish will eat more. (Of course, shrimp skin on the astaxanthin will be lost) river shrimp in the grass shrimp is the best, red head shrimp is also good, its body astaxanthin is higher than the big eye thief. Do not choose to feed the cultured river shrimp to fish, because the cultured river shrimp body astaxanthin content is quite low. Some fish may insist that "you are not right, I have been feeding the river shrimp fish are fine," then I can only say "friends, you are right, you can always feed on." Shrimp should be sterilized before feeding and then frozen for 48 hours before use. Remember that if you choose to feed shrimp for a long time, it is important to control the water quality and temperature.
Personally, I feel that different varieties of Lohan have different digestive abilities, and the digestive ability and disease prevention of the Golden Flower, such as the Red Horse, is stronger than that of the Pearl. The previous red horse fed half a year of river shrimp, no disease. After the change of pearl, but also often feed frozen shrimp, when the age of about six months or so, found that the fish protruding eye more serious.
2. Insects (yellow mealworms, barley worms, crickets, cockroaches, etc.): Some newcomers do not know what yellow mealworms?
The yellow mealworms, commonly known as breadworms in the north of us. It is an insect native to North America. The body of the insect contains protein is very high adult body contains about 60%, 28.2% fat, but also contains amino acids, phosphorus, iron, potassium, calcium, sodium and other macronutrients and a variety of trace elements. All pet stores are sold (bird stalls are also sold), mostly used to feed turtles and birds.
Breadworm feeding: can be placed in glass containers (ware word typing error), or hard plastic products. When choosing a container, don't overlook the fact that breadworms have a knack for piercing holes :lol
The bugs are not strict about temperature or food requirements: they can grow well at room temperature, and the higher the temperature, the faster the growth rate. Food options include bran, steamed bread slices, leftover fruit, and various vegetable leaves. I personally recommend feeding carrot slices, cabbage leaves, some fishers used to choose to feed breadworms with red feed. Carrots and cabbages are good for the worm's absorption of beta-carotene (breadworms fed carrots or reddish feed will be red) and vitamin A and C. The carrots and cabbages are good for the worm's absorption of beta-carotene and vitamin C.
The worms are absorbing nutrients. But I personally think that after feeding the worms to the fish, the luohan may not be able to absorb the nutrients such as beta-carotene and vitamin C in the breadworms. When you feed them, don't put big pieces of food on them, it's better to cut the food into small slices and feed them.
While the protein content of the body of the worm is high, which is favorable to the growth of the fish. However, if you feed them for a long time (breadworms that are usually fed with fruits or vegetables), it will make the body of the fish dark and dull.
Because of its body contains parasites, bacteria. So you should use sterilized and frozen breadworms to feed your fish. If you want to use live worms to feed, you should choose the white breadworms after peeling, which are easy to digest. If you want to feed larvae, you can consider artificial breeding of breadworms, provided that you have enough patience ~ ~ ~ and in the home to raise this kind of worms, the room smells very bad.
Well, that's it for the breadworms.
The barley bug, also known as the super wheat bug or super bread bug, is a species of larvae of the family Staphylinidae, which was introduced from Southeast Asia in recent years. It is also said that barley worms are breadworms that eat juvenile hormones and do not pupate before they grow so big. No matter what it is, I have not fed it to the Luo Han. There are two reasons: First, the price is more expensive than breadworms. The second reason is that if you feed it to the fish, it will be harder to digest than the breadworms, because it grows so big.
By looking at the worms, you can see what the barley worms look like.
Note: The biggest one is the barley worm, the one in the center is the black mealworm , and the one in the back is the yellow mealworm, which is the breadworm. Quote from bdx.
The feeding method should be similar to that of breadworms． I know so much about barley worms.
Next, crickets (commonly known as crickets) and cockroaches. Everyone knows what they look like, so I won't show you any pictures.
3. As for parasites, I won't say much. The crickets are good for coloring. In fact, all the dead body will be red insects, the body contains red pigment, the redder the higher content. It is recommended to feed dried crickets in buckets． Personally, I suggest not to feed cockroaches to fish, because cockroaches are very rich in parasites and germs, which has something to do with its living environment. Since it is sterilized and frozen, the survival of parasites and bacteria in its body is also high.
4. red red bugs: people strongly recommend the bait, red red red bugs, also known as bloodworms, commonly known as "swimming pop" it is the larvae of mosquitoes. Body length in 0.5 ~ ~ ~ 2.5 centimeters or so, the body is long and strip-shaped, segmented, blood red. Can swim in the water. Living in the river pond sludge, but requires the water is flowing and clean. Red worms are good bait for ornamental fish, containing high protein. There are two kinds of common bloodworms: one is produced in Tianjin, breeding, large, expensive. The length of the body is about 1.5~~~2.5 centimeters, pink, transparent in the sunlight. There are also Beijing produced slightly smaller than Tianjin bloodworms. The price is also lower than Tianjin.
The other kind is mostly produced in various places, small, dark red color. The price is also lower. (The small bloodworms are also called Jiangmi worms, the picture below is Shenyang)
For the bloodworms. 07 is not recommended to feed the bloodworms bucket of dry feed, and fresh live. It is best to buy fresh blood worms home sterilized and frozen in the preservation. Shenshui fishing apprentice made by the frozen bloodworm method is very good.
The redder the color of the bloodworms, the higher the content of hemoglobin in their bodies. Bigger ones are cleaner than small ones. But the smaller ones are more nutritious and easier to digest than the larger ones.
Nematode worms: it is also called silk earthworms, growing in the mud of rivers and lakes, a layer of red worms like thread, but not as red as bloodworms, longer than the length of bloodworms. Usually from the mud to reveal the upper part in the water wiggle, water movement will shrink back, calm, and out again wiggle.
Personally, I think this kind of bait is better not to feed it to Lohan due to its living environment.
Small fish: common Chuan Ding, small carp, there are small red arrow, peacock and so on. The advantage of feeding small fish is that their bodies contain phosphorus, which helps the bead spot brighter. It also helps the fish to grow faster, especially in the later stages of the growth of the fish.
Some fishers believe that feeding red arrows can increase the color of luohan. I've never tried it. The disadvantage is that the larger feeds are harder for the fish to digest. It is said that long-term feeding will make the Luo Han body color dark, black and so on. The internal body contains parasites and other shortcomings ~
07 of some of the recommendations: do not feed loach, some fish friends say that take it to feed the black version of the map fish is better. When feeding small fish, it is best to cut off their heads and bellies to reduce the occurrence of endoparasites. There is also a point of feed fish choose small not big. If the fish is too big to be fed to the luohan, the luohan will not be able to digest it easily.
And fish roe: Some people say you can use fish roe to feed the luohan, I have not tried.
Animal offal: common cow heart, pig liver, chicken heart, chicken liver and so on. Cow's heart, pig's liver has not been fed directly, do not know how to compare the results. I just bought a chicken liver than the chicken heart softer, some fish friends say, chicken liver iron, color faster. However, I personally think that there should be more bacteria and parasites in the liver. The disadvantage of feeding chicken hearts and livers is that the water tends to get muddy. Some fish will buy new chicken heart, liver sterilized frozen after feeding, frozen chicken heart, liver after water is also hard, the advantage is more hygienic.
Personally, I don't recommend feeding chicken hearts and livers. If you must feed chicken hearts and livers, cut them into small pieces with scissors, and then feed them to the fish after they have eaten one piece. When feeding chicken hearts and livers, it is best to remove the yellow oil or impurities on the chicken hearts and livers. The water quality should be maintained.
Other bait: 1, the year-old shrimp, small fish when feeding it, the color effect is good. I heard that the Malaysian small fish fed with shrimp. But it is important to rinse it out. The fish will suffer from alkaline blood disease, you know? The shrimp eggs, feed the small fry with. 2, water fleas (generally used to feed the small fry) and so on ~
Natural bait recommendations: personal advice to choose fresh bait in the sterilization frozen for more than 24 hours, preferably 48 hours, in the feeding. Dissolved bait should be fed as soon as possible to avoid bacterial reproduction. Do not keep frozen natural bait for too long. It is best to feed it within a week. The rest of the bait in the tank should be cleaned up so as not to spoil the water quality.
In fact, even if you are sterilized, freezing does not completely kill parasites and bacteria. The purpose of doing so is only to reduce or minimize the probability of the fish getting sick.
