In the process of breeding the red crucian carp, feeding is a relatively important step. Red crucian carp are not picky eaters, they are omnivorous, can eat a variety of food is very much. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three categories, namely animal feed, plant feed and specialized fish feed. Animal feed contains the most abundant nutrition, and there are many kinds, such as red worms, fish worms, tubificidae and so on. This kind of feed can be used as the main food of red crucian carp, but try to sterilize animal feed before feeding, especially live animals, because they may carry some bacteria and parasites.
There are also many plant feeds, such as aquatic plants and duckweed, which can be used as auxiliary feeds. Then is the fish feed, the way of feeding is relatively simple, can be directly fed, if there is no time to deal with animal feed, you can directly feed this food. In addition to these three main foods, red crucian carp can also be fed with fruits, vegetables and soaked millet and so on.
When feeding the red crucian carp, special attention should be paid to the frequency of feeding. In order to provide them with sufficient nutrients for their growth and development, try to provide a certain amount of food every day. Generally speaking, from June to October, their growth and development are the fastest, and they can be fed twice a day at this stage. For the rest of the time, feed only once a day. The amount of feeding needs to be adjusted according to the water temperature and the number of red crucian carp. When the water temperature is high and the number of fish is large, the feeding amount should be more.
