What benefits do water fleas offer for ornamental fish keeping?

    Water fleas are various planktonic animals that breed in sewage pits, ponds and rivers, and are a general colloquial term for cladocerans and copepods. They have many names, and different places call them differently. Some places call them "red spider bugs," some call them "jumping bugs," some call them "fish bugs," and some call them "red bugs." The name "red bugs" is usually the most common and is also fairly intuitive. Because they are often used as a natural, high-quality bait when raising ornamental fish such as goldfish and tropical fish, they are also collectively called "fish bugs."
    
    The protein in water fleas contains all the amino acids necessary for the nutrition of ornamental fish, and its content is also far higher than that of other commonly used baits. The sugar content in the body of water fleas is also quite high, and their composition contains a large amount of calcium, so their nutritional value is high. When fish have weakened constitutions, are not active enough, and have reduced appetite, feeding them water fleas for a period of time has a good promoting effect on quickly improving the constitution of ornamental fish.  

    Water fleas can promote good growth and development of ornamental fish, maintain bright colors, strengthen their constitution and plumpness, and improve resistance to disease. In spring and autumn each year, when temperatures vary greatly, especially during the plum rain season, ornamental fish have weaker constitutions and poorer resistance, and disease occurs more often, often causing death in large numbers. Practice has proved that if sufficient fresh live water fleas are fed at this time, the constitution of ornamental fish can be greatly strengthened, the mortality rate from disease can be reduced, the survival rate can be increased, and the economic benefits will also be more significant.
