The aquarium fish are aquatic animals and aquatic plant, feed in captivity is relatively simple, but can prepare some of the artificial feed. Commonly used in animal feed have gray water class, rotifers, fleas, worms and other types of feed.

1. Gray water

Also known as backwater, egg yolk Daphnia. Plankton in some protozoa, such as the paramecium, tail caterpillars, sun and insects, bell-shaped insects, Epistylis, shell sand worms, insects and other shell spine. These often in spring and summer plankton floating in the river water, the egg was yellow or gray. Use only Laode from fine cloth net. Used to feed the fish the best.

2. Rotifers

A bubble rotifers, water rotifer, rotifer long three limbs, hair comb warts rotifer, rotifer tortoises, etc., than the great gray water, can also be used to feed the fish. However, the survival of post-harvest only 4 to 5 hours, shall be promptly fed out.

3. Fleas

Arthropods in copepods is, Cladocera, individual large, hardy, is fed goldfish, tropical fish, the best feed. Large Daphnia, spiders and insects, like fleas flea, thorns fleas, fleas, and so real sword. Captured after the keeper of 1 to 2 days. Often referred to as fish and insects.

4. Earthworm class

There are worms in red earthworms, also known as Eisenia earthworms with pig or cow dung made after the fermentation of feed plus grass, into the artificial propagation of species of earthworms. Water worms, also known as gill worms, living in rivers and lakes sludge. Earthworms after repeated cleaning class fishing, generally at lower temperatures may be the keeper of a week or so.

5. Red worm

Also known as blood-red worms, color crimson, living in the upper sludge, more common in dense north together. At lower temperatures may be the keeper of half a month.

7. Maggot

Fly larvae, can artificially raise, but to feed off before pupation, the excess can be dried for use.

8. Silkworm chrysalis

Home silkworm spinning a byproduct. Selection of fresh, was the carp, common carp feed.

9. Small fry

Wild goldfish fry or fry of selected out of the waste. Were killed after fresh feeding large carnivorous fish.

10. Other

Egg yolk, cooked and fed fish; pig dry, cooked and cut into fine feed; fish, shrimp, meat can be fed. Plant feed a variety of algae, in the “green water” containing algae, green algae and other algae. Another aquatic plants, milk, flour, rice, biscuits and other food can be fed less fat in the feed rice, noodles and other food can be rinsed with water about, do not make the water turbid.

Second, artificial propagation of fish and insects

As the live ornamental fish, fish and insects is the best feed, people with artificial breeding methods breeding fish and insects. The main use of the river, pond, river to join with urban sewage, or cattle, pigs, horse manure into the compost fermentation Hetang, the water temperature in the 18-25C, pH value of 7.5 or so, then the introduction of flea species, 3 to 5 days can reproduce the bug. However, the artificial propagation of fish and insects are often more trouble, and now the synthetic feed, few people have been fostering.

Third, the feed preparation

Preparation of artificial feed for fish and other insects can save the trouble, but also long-term preservation. But also in the artificial feed formulation can be added vitamin or prevention of diseases, antibiotic drugs, it will not feed the harmful parasite or insects into the ornamental fish eggs and other hazards, there are many advantages. Specific problem is how to reduce the price of artificial feed.

Many ways artificial feed formulation, national, local is not the same, in principle, is to choose the cheap local raw materials, production of the full price of feed nutrition. Here are a few recipes.

1) 20% cooked beef liver or pork liver, fish meal 40%, flour 30%, 10% juice, and made with millet-like particles.

2) 40% fish meal, wheat bran 50%, 9% soybean flour, plus 1% yeast steamed together with the mountain of glue particles.

3) Chicken or duck or pig blood 50%, 20% corn meal, flour, mixing 30% of research quickly dried, or dried into powder.

4) Pupa powder 30%, 10% fish meal, wheat flour 40%, 20% corn flour, add baking powder, salt, vitamins A, B, C powder amount, first flour, corn flour boiled paste, then other with material inputs and, drying into particles.

5) 20% fish meal, silkworm pupa powder 27%, flour 50%, 1% seaweed, algae 2%, plus minerals, vitamins and colloidal particles are made.

Now the full price on the market supply of fish pellets, but also try to buy feed.
