What are the characteristics of feeding ornamental fish with animal-based bait?
For the first feeding of ornamental fish, or during the larval stage and even the entire growth and development stage, aquatic animal-based bait is indispensable. Feeding ornamental fish with animal-based bait has the following characteristics:
Live animal-based bait is an important protein source. According to measurements, the protein content in bacteria, spirulina, rotifers, copepods, yellow mealworm, fly maggots, and earthworms is quite high, at 65.5%, 58.5%-71%, 56.8%, 59.8%, 64%, 54%-62%, and 53.5%-65%, respectively. Moreover, the various nutrients are balanced, the amino acid composition is reasonable, and they contain all the essential amino acids.
Live animal-based bait, with its advantages of high nutritional value, being green and pollution-free, simple and easy to culture, and being convenient for aquatic animals to ingest and digest, has become an important component of ornamental fish farming, especially for rare and high-grade ornamental fish, and to this day it is still difficult to completely replace with artificial compound bait.
Ornamental fish farming in China is increasing, more and more attention is being paid to the appreciation of ornamental fish, and the requirements for their body color are becoming more and more particular. Spirulina and cladocerans, copepods respectively contain large amounts of carotenoids and astaxanthin, both of which are natural colorants. Feeding them to koi, goldfish, and tropical fish not only enhances their ability to resist disease, but also makes their body shape more plump and beautiful, the fish body shiny, and the color more brilliant and vivid. The color-enhancing effect is obvious and not easy to fade.
