How to raise eels at home is to choose the water quality, provide a suitable breeding environment and release the eels.

1, choose the water quality

In the home breeding of eels, we should choose clean, pH value of 6.8-7.5 between the water quality, the water body is small and large, and then with a better quality of polyethylene mesh mesh sewing a mesh box, pay attention to the box depth of water to reach more than 1 meter.

2, to provide a suitable breeding environment

Eels mainly rely on water plants habitat, breeding before the bottom of the net box to lay a layer of sediment, and then planted with water peanuts, oilseed grass, water hyacinth, etc., during the maintenance of the net box should be placed in the position of no direct sunlight, and to maintain the same temperature of the water and room temperature.

3, stocking eels

Put the eel seed before the net box will be soaked for 7-15 days, so that the mesh is more smooth, so as not to bruise the body of the eel, and then the eel seed will be soaked in saline and potassium permanganate water solution for 5-10 minutes, it is best to put the eel seed per square meter of about 1-1.5kg.

Habits of eels

1, nocturnal

Eels are nocturnal fish, hiding in humus-rich mud holes or rock crevices during the day to rest, and only go out to feed at night, and in the summer when the temperature is high, eels are more active, but in winter, they will stop moving.

2, omnivorous

The eel's diet is more mixed, belonging to carnivorous fish, ferocious nature, nighttime activities, will prey on insects, larvae, tadpoles, small fish and other food in the water, and eels sucking method of foraging, once the prey found to reach their mouths, will open their mouths to suck, will be sucking the prey in the abdomen.

3, breathing method

The eel's oral skin folds can be respiratory, directly absorbing the outside air to maintain vitality, but the winter temperature is low, the eel will be hiding in the underground 2 meters deep location of the winter, this time it is necessary to use the oral cavity as well as the laryngeal cavity of the inner wall of the epidermis to assist breathing.
