How to raise ornamental shrimp? Below, the editor will introduce to you the basic methods of feeding ornamental shrimp. There is a certain difference between the breeding of ornamental shrimp and ornamental fish. Ornamental shrimp need a shrimp house or shrimp tube for hiding, while ornamental fish needs some aquatic plants, and there are many differences in many aspects.

1. There are two categories of freshwater aquaculture ornamental shrimp

1. Small The size of ornamental shrimp is about 3 cm, such as cherry shrimp, crystal shrimp, Su shrimp and so on.

2. The crayfish series logos have claws, that is, big pliers, ranging in size from 5 cm to 30 cm, such as mini orange claws, blue devils, and white claws.

Second, the two categories of pure white shrimp

1. There are platinum shrimp in the small shrimp;

2. Crawfish There are White Claws in the series.

Platinum shrimp can only grow 3 cm, this size can reproduce, but there is a certain difficulty. It's okay to mix and not fight. Don't care about molting. There is a hidden environment in the tank, which mainly refers to a lot of aquatic plants. The lifespan is about 1 to 1 year and a half. Small shrimp do not have high space requirements, and a tank with a minimum size of 20 cm is also acceptable. The key is to control the water quality. The white claw can grow up to 15 cm, and can reproduce when it reaches more than 10 cm. Polyculture of crawfish is more difficult unless the tank is large and has a lot of space. In addition, each shrimp must have its own shrimp house or shrimp tube for the shrimp to hide in. Polyculture will definitely fight, and the lifespan can live for more than 2 years.

3. Raising method

To raise high-quality ornamental shrimp, the most important thing is The key is water quality. Ornamental shrimps have relatively high requirements for water quality. They are different from ordinary ornamental fish. They are very sensitive to water quality. Generally, the PH value of the water in the tank where ornamental shrimp is raised is between 5-8, and the KH value (the relative hardness of the water) ) between 1-6. And PH value of 6.2-6.8, KH value of 1-2 conditions are more appropriate. [When raising, it is necessary to adjust the water quality standards of the fish tank according to the different needs of different ornamental shrimps]

Ornamental shrimps also have relatively high requirements for water temperature and are also very sensitive to changes in water temperature. At times, there are also higher requirements for temperature control. Strictly speaking, ornamental shrimp are not suitable for high temperature breeding, and it is reasonable to control the water temperature between 22-24 degrees Celsius under normal circumstances. When the ornamental shrimp is in the breeding period, the water temperature should also be reasonably increased by 1-2 degrees. When the water temperature reaches 25 degrees Celsius, it is the best temperature for hatching eggs.

To raise ornamental shrimp, bait is still an important aspect. Shrimp is omnivorous, basically vegetarian, and occasionally you can eat meat. Grain grains, sliced grains, red worms, brine shrimp, moss, algae, aquatic plants, minerals in the mud, freshwater shrimp special grains, organic spinach, etc., can all be the food for ornamental shrimp. Among them, spinach may be one of the more popular foods for shrimp. In the process of feeding ornamental shrimp, it is important to ensure that their food is nutrient-rich and balanced. It is necessary to reasonably match food to feed and watch, and a long-term single diet is also detrimental to the health of shrimp.

Ornamental shrimps are relatively fragile, and it is best not to touch them with your hands during the breeding process, because there are many bacteria on your hands, which may make ornamental shrimps sick. The shells will be attacked by other shrimp, so attention should be paid to isolation.
