Say fish
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Sorry, I'm a buoyant! </h1>
Pay attention to the fish, clearly raise fish. Hello everyone, I'm the one who has both the fish and the bear's paw.
Today, I will talk to you about fish and insects.
There are four major natural live baits in the field of freshwater ornamental fish: brine worms, rotifers, branches and copepods.
Among them, the branches are what aquarists call "fish worms".
Of course, this is the concept of fish worms in the narrow sense, and fish worms in the broad sense include copepods. All of the "fish bugs" mentioned in this article are narrowly defined as fish bug concepts.
Some people say that fish worms have no nutritional value, and the reason why it is so well-known is because goldfish players decades ago had nothing but fish worms and could not find a substitute for it.
It is also said that fish and insects have a higher nutritional value than any insect feed, and should be able to become the first of the "four major live baits".
Who are they right?
Students, please sit down and listen to the noise.

Phyllonorycters
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >what is a branch class? </h1>
As the name suggests, the term "branch" is the name of a large class of insects, not the exclusive name of a single aquatic insect.
Classic representatives are: flea-like, large, transparent, long-line, close relatives naked belly, straight frontal naked belly, old age low forehead, hair head naked belly, straight front naked belly, straight front naked belly, bird beak tip and Mongolian naked belly and so on.
The vast majority of branch-horned fish insects belong to freshwater fish insects, and the classic representatives are flea-like and large fish;
There are only 5 species of marine fish insects in the world, and the representative species is the bird-beaked pointed-headed fish;
There are 23 species of terrestrial saltwater lakes, represented by the Mongolian bare-bellied lagoon.
Among the four major ornamental fish and insect live baits, the shape of the branches is the most personalized, every time you see their photos, you always feel that they look like birds, so they are quite recognizable in all aquatic insects, you may not be able to distinguish between bran shrimp and hook shrimp, but you can not distinguish between branches and copepods.
It is worth mentioning that the four major ornamental fish insect live bait all belong to arthropods, and the anchor-headed fleas we are familiar with actually belong to the same category, but the anchor-headed fleas are the enemies of ornamental fish, and the four types of insects mentioned today are the delicacies of ornamental fish.
Like rotifers, when the external environment becomes unsuitable for the survival of the brachiopods, the brachiomorphs will reproduce and produce dormant eggs, which will re-develop into living brachiomorphs after the external environment is better.
As long as the outside environment is comfortable, they will only breed parthenogenesis.
The branches are actually quite large
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > branch horn class is really a good thing</h1>
From the perspective of nutritional value, the branches are definitely a good thing!
Good and bad are relative, compared to halogen worms and rotifers, the nutritional composition of the branches is simply perfect.
In biological bait culture, there is a concept of "nutrient fortification", which refers to making up for the nutritional shortcomings of live bait, so that ornamental fish can obtain more comprehensive nutrition.
Halogen worms need to be fortified, and rotifers also need to be fortified, but the branches really don't need it.
Halogen worms and rotifers lack HUFA, but there is no shortage of branches, which is simply cool!
No wonder goldfish players in the early years only need to feed the fish with fish worms to raise goldfish well, which is all the credit of the branches!
In fact, there is something even cooler - the branches of the fish are not only perfect in protein and fatty acid data, but also in vitamin data, not only rich in fish must be B vitamins, but even contain enough vitaminS, vitamin D and vitamin K.
Therefore, it is worthy of the name that the branches are called the first of the four major ornamental fish and insect live baits.
Dried branches of horned insects
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > how to use the phyllocarp fish worm correctly? </h1>
At present, there is almost no supply of dormant eggs for the bulbophyllum on the market, which is the short board of the brachiophyllum relative to halogen worms and rotifers.
However, live phylum insect species can be bought in the market, frozen phyllods, and of course, the stems of phylloid fish worms can also be bought.
As shown above, that is a photo of the dried branches and horns that The Boy himself used.
Aquarists who have used fish worms know that in fact, the size of the branch horn insects is relatively large, and it is actually much easier to salvage than rotifers.
In addition to buying fish and insects online, you can also catch live shoots in unpolluted rivers and ponds at the turn of spring and summer.
Because the branches also have phototropism, we can use this feature of it to catch insects at night, put a lamp near the water surface, preferably the kind of lamp that can be suspended on the water surface, harvested every few tens of minutes, spend two or three hours, and you can also get a lot of free fish food.
It is worth reminding everyone that due to the relatively large individuals of the branch horns, only 100 fishing nets are needed to complete the fishing, and there is no need to catch the 300-purpose fishing nets of rotifers. At this time, if you choose to fish too finely, you are looking for trouble for yourself.
Fish worms are fished home, it is recommended to let go for one night, and then wash some directly to feed the goldfish the next day.
As for the bacteria problem that some aquarists worry about, it is insoluble, after all, choosing fish worms, while enjoying the benefits of fish worms, you have to bear the risks caused by it, in this world, the best of both worlds, there is no such thing.
It really doesn't work, and secondly, you can choose the dried branches, of course, the nutritional value is definitely going to lose some.
