There are many kinds of bait for ornamental fish. Common baits include animal bait, plant bait and artificial bait. But these baits can't be blindly fed to ornamental fish. We should feed different kinds of ornamental fish according to their feeding habits. So, what bait should different ornamental fish feed? What else should I pay attention to at the same time?

First of all, animal bait

Animal bait mainly includes fresh bait and fish meal, dried fish, meat meal, fish meat, egg yolk, nauplii of harvested shrimp, silkworm (nematode), harvested shrimp, rotifer, "backwater", Tenebrio molitor larvae, silkworm pupa, blood worm and so on.

Second, plant bait.

Plant bait includes the crushed or finished products of various algae, grains and beans. For example, Chlorella, Spirulina and Wuping are rich in protein, and also contain a variety of vitamins and trace elements, which are auxiliary bait for freshwater ornamental fish.

Third, artificial bait

Artificial bait has the characteristics of convenient use, comprehensive nutrition and easy storage and feeding. This kind of bait has various types, such as granular and flaky, and there are also special baits specially designed for the taste and nutritional ratio of some ornamental fish. Artificial bait not only contains a lot of protein, but also generally adds a variety of living microorganisms to provide a benign micro-ecological cycle, which has good absorption and environmental protection effects.

The main animal raw materials of artificial compound bait are fish meal, blood meal, liver meal, dried octopus, dried earthworm, skim milk powder, yeast and so on. Plant raw materials are wheat flour, grain flour, spirulina, soybean flour, etc.

Iodine, seaweed, mysid shrimp, harvested shrimp and some plankton are usually added to the artificial bait cost of marine ornamental fish. Floating bait is suitable for feeding fish foraging on the water surface; Sticky bait and ingot bait are suitable for raising benthic ornamental fish such as Silurus and Muridae.

Fourth, bring your own bait.

In actual use, the bait can be prepared by itself, can be supplied for a long time, and can also be used alone with fish and insects. The self-made bait can be added with vitamins or antibiotics to prevent and treat diseases, which has many advantages. For example, the "beef heart burger" that colorful angelfish love to eat can be made by themselves. The main ingredients are beef heart, shrimp meat, vegetables and multivitamins. , break it and mix it with a meat grinder. When it is used, it can be cut into pieces and fed, and it can be quickly frozen. Self-made "beef heart burger" bait has become the staple food of colorful angelfish.
