How loach families breed and reproduce, how loaches are farmed

Breeding loach, to build a pond in a suitable place, after the pond is built to clean and disinfect, in the breeding process, you can feed the loach egg yolk, fish meal, soybean cake, earthworms, maggots, mussels and snails and other food, but also need to ensure that the water quality is clean, the water should be changed frequently in high temperature weather, and the growth state of the loach should be observed more often.

1. Build a pond

If you want to breed loaches, you first need to build a pond in the clayey soil with moderate humus, and the pond needs to be 40 cm above the water surface around the pond, and aquatic plants should be put in the pond, so that the loaches can inhabit and eat as food, and the pond needs to be cleaned and disinfected before use.

2. Bait requirements

The loach seedlings that have just been put into the pond need to be fed with some small plankton, egg yolk, fish meal and bean cake and other bait for the loach to eat, and when the later breeding is carried out, you can feed some earthworms, maggots, river mussels, snails and other feeds, and you can also sprinkle some rotting chicken manure and duck manure to improve the fertility of the water body.

3. Water quality requirements

Breeding loaches need to make it have clean and clean water quality, transparency in 20-30 is the most suitable, in the high temperature season, need to often inject new water to replace the old water, otherwise the water quality is more seriously polluted, the water bacteria will breed in large quantities, so that loaches are prone to disease.

4. Daily management

Daily management of loaches, need to patrol the pond frequently, observe the water quality and the growth of loaches, if the loaches appear hypoxic, need to be given aeration equipment in time, if the loaches produce diseases, then need to be timely **, so as to avoid a large area of loaches disease.

When raising small loaches, it is necessary to prepare suitable feed for them. The loach itself is an omnivorous fish that can be eaten on many types of feed. Common animal feeds such as mealworms, earthworms, small fish, small shrimp, silkworm pupa, etc., and plant feeds include bean dregs, corn flour, rice bran, etc.

When feeding baby loaches, animal feed and plant feed can be combined with each other.

1. Container: The size of the small loach is not particularly large, but if the number of breeding is relatively large, then a larger container is also needed. The number of small loaches that can be cultivated in the culture pond is relatively large.

The fish mountain tank at home can also be used to breed small loaches, but the number of farmed should not be particularly large.

2. Feed: When breeding small loaches, it is still necessary to prepare suitable feed for them. They can be mainly given animal feed, and animal offal, earthworms, mealworms, silkworm pupa, etc. are more commonly used. They can also be given okara, corn flour, etc.

3. Oxygen: Loaches have a good adaptability to oxygen in the water, but their adaptability to oxygen is not particularly good when they are younger. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that there is enough oxygen in the water to fill the shed when breeding, and some can be manually supplemented if necessary.

4. Water temperature: The water temperature of the eggplant needs to be kept in the appropriate range, which can be kept at 10-30 degrees, and try not to be lower than 10 degrees and not higher than 30 degrees.

5. Sunlight: When breeding small loaches, try not to have too strong light, and need to be properly shielded when there is strong direct light.

<> can be fed snails, earthworms, silkworm pupa powder, mussel meat and poultry offal and other carnivorous feed, and with a certain proportion of cheap plant feed, such as rice bran, bran, bean dregs, third-class flour, old vegetable leaves, discarded melons and fruits, etc., large-scale healthy breeding, with feed as the mainstay. Loaches can be mixed with other fish, and they can eat the feces and residues of loose fish, so loaches are called the cleaners of ponds and Beimin.

1. Requirements for building ponds: the area of loach ponds needs to be 5 acres to 10 acres, the depth of the pond water needs to be meters to meters, the pH value of the silt at the bottom of the pond should be neutral, the pond wall should be tamped to be non-leaking, the pond water inlet and drainage should be convenient, the surrounding of the farm should be quiet, the water quality should be good and there is no pollution, each mu of pond should be equipped with 1 aerater, and the pond should be set up around the rodent-proof net.

2. Clean the pond: Before putting loach seedlings in early spring, clean the pond with quicklime 20 days in advance, and then use aerated particles and compound salt to improve the water quality. After the pond is cleaned and re-watered, plant some water spinach, lotus root, water hyacinth, and water peanuts in the pond, which is conducive to improving the water quality and loach to avoid the sun.

3. Fertilization water quality: Splash some amino acid fertilizer in the pond 10 days before stocking, so that the aquatic animals and plants that loaches like to eat will reproduce faster.

4. Select loach seedlings: seedlings should be purchased with fast swimming, no damage to the epidermis, no disease in health, and 3 cm to 4 cm long loach seedlings. When transporting the seedlings that will wither quickly, be careful not to hurt the seeds, and after transporting them to the pond, drench the fingerlings with salt water before stocking.

5. Stocking density: The best time to stocking seedlings is in mid-May. 10,000 loach seedlings can be stocked per mu.

6. Feeding: After putting the loach seedlings, 6 buckets of loach feed should be placed on the side of the pool, and each barrel should be filled with 10 kg of special extruded feed for loaches, and the feed in the bucket should be filled with 10 kg of feed again after being fed for 3 days. The first feed diameter should be in millimeters, and after 10 days of feeding, the diameter of the feed in millimeters is used, and then the millimeter feed is fed after 10 days, until it is full of one acre of Bidong month.

After one month of rearing, feed with a special feeding machine. Feeding time is between 7 and 8 a.m. 2 feeding machines should be set up per mu of pond.

7. Water quality management: change the water frequently after stocking loach seedlings. Each time you change the water, you should drain part of the pool water before adding new water. Quicklime is used every week to adjust the water quality, and the yellow-green color of the pool water is the best.

8. Disease prevention: Biological agents such as yeast and em bacteria should be splashed in the pool at regular intervals, which can regulate the water quality and improve the immunity of loaches, and the probability of loaches getting sick will be reduced.

9. Fishing: It takes about 3 to 5 months from stocking loaches to fishing. As long as the loaches grow to 10 centimeters long, they can be caught and marketed.

The technical difficulties of loach breeding are mainly from the splash to the inch seedling stage, and the loach splash is only about 4 mm.

The pond is recommended to be about 2 acres, the water depth is meters, the larger the water body, the greater the ability to resist the sudden change of the external environment, and the smaller the water temperature change. The width is 10 meters, which is convenient for feeding and seedling.

The main aspects of water flower farming:

1. The transportation of water splashes must be packed in an oxygenated oxygen bag. It can ensure that the water splash will not die of lack of oxygen.

2. The time when the water splashes into the pond is recommended to be in the morning or evening, when there is no direct sunlight and will not burn.

3. Put the oxygen bag in the water for about 30 minutes, so that the water temperature in the bag and the water temperature in the pond are consistent. Then open the oxygen bag, slowly fill in a small amount of pond water, then lift the oxygen bag and wait for about 20 seconds, then fill in a large amount of pond water and wait for one minute. Finally, the mouth of the bag is at the end of the bag, let the bag stick to the water surface, slowly pull the bag back, let the loach splash slowly and naturally flow into the pond, be sure to observe whether there is still a splash in the bag.

4. Splash breeding, a few days ago, the gram was fed with soybean milk plus opening material plus egg yolk plus EM bacteria once, and the egg yolk should be filtered through 100 mesh mesh before feeding. Pay attention to oxygenation, at this stage loaches can only breathe in gills.

5. Cultivate natural bait, and a large amount of natural bait will appear in the pond after about 4 days of the above feeding method. At this time, it is necessary to pay more attention to oxygenation, egg yolk can be stopped, and soybean milk and opening material can be fed. Until the rotifers disappear, you can stop feeding soy milk and only feed the opening material.

At this time, after the loach has eaten the natural bait, the individual loach should be about 3 cm. It is also almost to the stage of intestinal respiration.

After the intestinal respiration stage, it is easy to nourish.

Loaches move in the bottom mud or in the bottom silt of the water, and prefer to lie dormant and nocturnal, and their vision deteriorates in the dark environment for a long time. However, the tentacles and lateral lines are very sensitive and play a key role in avoiding enemies and foraging activities. In addition to respiring with gills, loaches can also perform intestinal respiration, so it has a strong tolerance for low dissolved oxygen.

In a water-scarce environment, loaches can survive for a long time as long as the soil remains moist. The loach is very adaptable to the environment, so among the more than 100 species of fish in the loach family, only the loach has the largest number and the most extensive distribution. [5]

Feeds on benthic organisms such as algae in the sludge and also feeds on zooplankton. [6] When artificial feeding, insects, small crustaceans, earthworms, young plant stems and leaves, etc., can also be fed with soybean cakes, bean dregs, rough bran, etc.

Loach (scientific name: Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) is a loach of the family Loachidae. The body is elongated, cylindrical, and the caudal peduncle is flattened and thin.

Small head. Snout tip. Lower mouth, horseshoe-shaped.

5 pairs of whiskers (1 pair of snout whiskers, 2 pairs of maxillary whiskers, 2 pairs of mandibular whiskers). The eye is small, laterally superior, covered by epithelium, without infraocular spines. Gill holes are small.

The scales are very small and deeply embedded in the skin. The siding line is complete. Lateral line scales are more than 150.

The swim bladder is small and enclosed in a hard bony sac. The dorsal fin is short, and the starting point is opposite the beginning of the pelvic fin. The pectoral fin is distantly from the pelvic fin, with unbranched fin bars 1 and branched fin bars 10.

The pelvic fin does not reach the anal fin, with unbranched fin rays 1, branched fins 5-6. Anal fin with unbranched fin 2 and branched fin 5. The caudal fin is rounded.

The upper part of the body is grayish-brown, the lower part is white, and there are irregular black spots on the sides of the body. There are also spots on the dorsal and caudal fins. There is a large black spot above the base of the caudal fin.

The other fins are grayish-white.

Loaches are bottom-dwelling fish that inhabit the bottom of various shallow and silty environmental waters such as rivers, lakes, ditches, paddy fields, ponds and marshes. Diurnal and nocturnal, it is adaptable and can live in an environment rich in humus. When there is a lack of oxygen in the water, it can jump to the surface of the water and swallow air for intestinal respiration.

When the pool dries up, dive into the mud and do not die as long as the soil is kept moist with a small amount of water. Loaches are widely distributed in China, Japan, Korea, Russia and India along the Asian coast.

It doesn't matter how much water there is, but the purpose of farming in a fish tank is to look good, so don't put mud, you can put plants, or put artificial landscapes as fish nests. It is recommended not to engage in any breeding, there is no need.
