There is a difference in the feed used by the newly opened fry and the adult Siraitia grosvenorii. Live bait should not be used to feed young fish when they have just opened their mouths. The most suitable food for it is brine shrimp eggs. This kind of food can not only let the small fry eat, but also provide sufficient nutrition for it, which is the best choice for feeding it.
And after adulthood, the body of the arhat is fully developed, and the food for raising it should be changed appropriately. It is omnivorous, so animal feed, plant feed and artificial feed can be used to feed it. If you want them to grow better, you must choose nutritious food that they like. The protein content of the live bait is high, and the live bait can induce the arhat to prey and improve the activity of the arhat. Therefore, it is better to choose live bait for feeding adult Siraitia. Like brine shrimp, water fleas, tubificidae and so on are good choices.
The nutritional value of the mealworm is high, but its worm skin cannot be digested by the Luo Han fish. If feeding fish with mealworms, it is better to dispose of the worm skin in advance. Otherwise, the residual insect skin in the fish tank will pollute the water quality and is not conducive to the normal life of fish. Although the nutrition of mealworms is high, it has no hyperchromic effect. If fed with mealworms for a long time, the body color of the fish will fade, affecting the ornamental effect. Therefore, it is not recommended to use mealworms as the staple food of fish.
