In addition, there is a scarab in the Egyptian language, pronounced heper, which means birth. Its origin comes from the scarab's habit of pushing dung balls. Scarabs did not have such balls or eggs at first, but through their own efforts, they pushed out dung balls from nothing.

4. Can mealworm feces be fed directly to loaches?

In addition to fertilizing the water quality and providing natural bait, loach feed must be supplemented with animal feed such as maggots, earthworms, mussel meat, fish meal, small fish meat, livestock and poultry scraps, as well as plant feed such as wheat bran, rice bran, bean dregs, cakes, or artificial compound feed. No feeding is required when the temperature exceeds 30℃ or is below 15℃ or on thunderstorm days. When loaches often swim to the surface of the water and "swallow air", it indicates that there is a lack of oxygen in the water. Fertilization should be stopped and new water should be injected. In winter, the depth of the pond water should be increased, and manure such as cow dung and pig dung can be applied to the corners of the pond to increase the water temperature and ensure the safety of loaches overwintering. Therefore, it is beneficial to feed mealworm feces, but it cannot be used as the main feed. In addition, attention should be paid to water cleanliness. When the temperature rises after the spring, attention should be paid to disinfection to prevent diseases.
