CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can earthworms be raised in water? Video (Can earthworms be raised in water? Video explanation)

1. Will earthworms soak in water when it’s hot?

Won't.

Earthworms like to live in a humid environment, not too dry, but not too wet, and cannot be soaked (except for water earthworms). The humidification mentioned here includes two aspects, one is the humidity of the breeding base soil, and the other is the air humidity. Generally, the humidity of the breeding base soil is required to be 40%-60% (it is better to hold the base soil with fingers and see water but not flow down), and the relative humidity of the air is preferably adjusted to 60%-80%.

2. Can earthworms survive in a fish tank?

There are two reasons why earthworms cannot survive in fish tanks.

1 The fish tank is full of water and if there is no oxygen in the water, the fish will suffocate to death.

2If there are fish in the fish tank, the earthworms will be eaten by the fish.

So earthworms can't survive in fish tanks

3. Earthworms can live in water, is that correct?

Wrong, earthworms cannot live directly in water

Earthworms cannot live in water. Earthworms are terrestrial animals. If they do not get enough oxygen in water, they will die. Earthworms' living environment Earthworms belong to the class Chaetopoda and the order Oligochaeta. They usually live in dark and moist soil 10-30 cm deep in moist, loose soil rich in organic matter. Especially in fertile gardens, vegetable gardens, cultivated land, ditches, rivers, ponds, channels and sewers near canteens.

4. Why can’t earthworms live in water?

No, earthworms can only live in moist places. Moist does not mean in water. In water, they will die due to lack of oxygen.

5. Can earthworms live in water?

Earthworms live underground and feed on soil. If there is no soil in the water, they will starve to death and cannot live in water.

6. Will earthworms die if placed in water?

Earthworms will die in water.

Because earthworms do not have lungs and gills, they exchange gases through their body surface. Oxygen dissolves in the moist film on the body surface, then penetrates the cuticle and epithelium, reaches the microvascular plexus, and is combined with oxygen by hemoglobin in the plasma and transported to various parts of the body.

The earthworm's epithelium secretes mucus and the dorsal pore discharges body cavity fluid, keeping the body surface moist at all times. The skin must be kept moist so that oxygen can dissolve and enter the body. Therefore, they like to move in warm and humid soil.

However, earthworms will also drown if they stay in water for a long time. Similarly, when it rains, the mud holes where earthworms hibernate are filled with water. If they do not crawl out of the ground, they will also drown.

7. How long can earthworms survive in tap water?

Earthworms cannot stay in water for a long time, and the vitality of each earthworm is different. If placed in clean water, the long ones can stay for three days and will continue to wriggle, while some earthworms may not be able to stay for two or three hours.

Earthworms are annelids. They reproduce very quickly and have good economic benefits. Therefore, they are mostly artificially cultivated and the yield is relatively high.
