? Medaka eat protein worms. They like to eat microorganisms in the water, such as larvae, protein worms, water fleas, and so on. Proteinworms are benthic aquatic oligochaetes, sometimes floating or attached to fish for a short time. Protein worms mainly live in nutrient-rich water bodies and are more common in ponds or sewage with higher nutrients. If protein worms appear in the fish tank, it means that the nutrition in the water is too abundant, and the breeder needs to change the water immediately.
Medaka has a mixed diet and can eat many kinds of food, especially some microorganisms in the water. Family feeding can feed some red worms, nematodes, shrimp and other foods, before feeding to do a good job of sterilization and disinfection treatment, to avoid the infection of parasites or bacteria in medaka. The size of the medaka is small, and the breeder can not feed too much each time. If there is residual food after feeding, it needs to be fished out as soon as possible to avoid polluting the water quality.
? Many fish friends think that protein worms are not harmful, because many fish will use protein worms as food. However, if the protein worms are attached to the fish body, they will cause itching or pain to the fish, which will cause them to rub against the tank, and in serious cases, they will hit the tank, anorexia and so on. If it is attached to the gills of fish, it will be more harmful to fish. Therefore, the protein worms produced in the fish tank need to be removed as soon as possible to avoid endangering the health of the fish.
