CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What do freshwater eels eat? How do you keep them?

Freshwater eels are carnivores, and they eat a small amount of algae. They are mainly carnivores, but in nature they are not very aggressive in their ability to prey on small fish, shrimps and some mollusks, so in addition to preying on small fish, shrimps and some mollusks, they like to eat rotten or semi-rotten carcasses of various animals. These slightly rotten carcasses decompose some free amino acids and fatty acids due to the action of microorganisms, which have a strong attractant effect on eels with a keen sense of smell.

In terms of breeding, it should be considered a relatively easy-to-breed special aquatic product. The current price of seedlings restricts the development of eel breeding. After buying healthy seedlings, you can use earth ponds, cement pools or water circulation, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The main thing is to eat eel feed, which is nutritious and convenient. Other biological baits or live baits have to be processed every time, which is very troublesome. Eel feed is generally powdered feed, which can be mixed with water and made into a mud and fed. Follow the principle of fixed point, time and quantity, do a good job of water quality monitoring and disease prevention, and be diligent in supervision. In this way, eels should be raised well.
