Red worms belong to Insecta, Diptera, Chironomidae. Their habits are more prominent and they like to live in humid environments. Many wild red worms live in water, and the number of red worms distributed in freshwater basins such as ponds and lakes is relatively large, especially in fertile water with abundant nutrients. Therefore, red worms can be cultured in water, and the water environment is more suitable for them, which is in line with their preference for humid environment.
In fact, red worms can be raised not only in water, but also in soil, as long as the soil is in a moist state. In fact, red worms living in fresh water sometimes live in the mud at the bottom. The same is true for artificial breeding or preservation of red worms. You can prepare some soil, and then add some water to it, so that the soil is always wet, and you can breed and preserve red worms. However, it is relatively appropriate and more common to breed red worms in water.
It has been introduced above that red worms can be kept in water. Not only that, red worms can be kept in water all the time. Both wild and cultured red worms can live in water all the time. Of course, there are still many problems that need to be paid attention to when keeping them in water all the time. For example, the surrounding temperature should not be too high, because red worms are more afraid of heat. In addition, the content of nutrients in water is also important, and red worms like to live in nutrient-rich fertile water. Then there is the dissolved oxygen in the water, if the water quality is very poor, then the oxygen content will be less, so the water also needs to be replaced regularly.
