Loaches hibernate. When the water temperature around the loach is below 10 degrees, they slowly become less active. When the water temperature is below 5 degrees, they basically go into hibernation. When the loach is in hibernation, it usually burrows its body into the mud and stays there until the water temperature rises. The body surface of loach will secrete mucus, which will not affect their normal survival. However, not all loaches will hibernate, if the water temperature has been above 10 degrees, it will not hibernate.

1. Will loach hibernate

? Loach is a very common fish living in China. It is a freshwater fish, which is widely distributed in freshwater basins. Loach can not only grow in the wild environment, but also be cultured artificially, and the number of artificial breeding is relatively large. Loach may enter a state of hibernation in winter, but whether to hibernate depends on the specific temperature. When the surrounding water temperature is below 10 degrees, the appetite of the loach will decrease, and it will gradually become less active, and then it will enter a state of hibernation, generally around 5 degrees. When the loach is hibernating, it usually burrows into the mud. When

the loach is in hibernation, it is basically inactive and basically does not eat. They will stay in the soil and come out when the temperature rises. At this stage, their body surface will always secrete mucus, which will not affect the normal survival of loach. However, not all loaches hibernate in winter. If the water temperature is always suitable and can be kept above 10 degrees in winter, then the loach will not hibernate. If the temperature can always be around 20 degrees, then the loach will continue to eat and grow.

From the point of view of habits, loach is a kind of fish that hides in the daytime and comes out at night, that is to say, they are not active during the day, but more active at night. When loaches hunt and feed, they basically do it at night. Therefore, although loaches sleep, they do not sleep at night like many other animals, but during the day. They are not active during the day and often rest in one place, similar to the state of sleep. When night comes, they will become more active.
