CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Do mantis shrimp eat steamed bread crumbs?

It is not recommended to feed steamed bread crumbs to mantis shrimp fry.

Generally speaking, mantis shrimp fry mainly feed on fresh shellfish, but they also eat small fish and shrimp. So when choosing feed, we need to consider whether these shellfish, small fish and shrimp are contaminated and whether they are safe.

Let's take a look at the breeding of mantis shrimp:

1. Water quality

Water quality management is very important for breeding mantis shrimp, which is related to whether the mantis shrimp can survive. Generally, the oxygen content in the water for breeding mantis shrimp should be kept above 5ml/L, and the water should be changed every day, with the amount of water changed controlled at one-third or one-quarter each time. If water flow breeding can be adopted, water change is not required. In addition, the temperature of the water body should also be paid attention to. Generally, it is best to keep it at around 20 to 27 degrees, with the lowest temperature not lower than 6 degrees and the highest temperature not higher than 30 degrees.

2. Feed

When choosing feed for mantis shrimp farming, we must pay attention to choosing the right and high-quality feed. Generally, mantis shrimp mainly feed on fresh shellfish, but also eat small fish and shrimp. So when choosing feed, we need to consider whether these shellfish, small fish and shrimp are contaminated and safe. Don't buy cheap and low-quality feed just for the sake of temporary cheapness, otherwise it will not be worth the loss.

3. Feeding

When feeding mantis shrimp, we should pay attention to that the bait should be cut into small pieces appropriately, and then put evenly to avoid the phenomenon of snatching food. Secondly, according to the living habits of mantis shrimp, feeding is generally done in the evening every day, once a day, and the feeding amount is appropriately increased or decreased according to the weather conditions, the growth of mantis shrimp, water temperature, feed type, feed quality, etc. You can't feed too much or too little, otherwise it will affect the growth of mantis shrimp.

4. Escape prevention

When breeding mantis shrimp, we also need to prevent them from escaping. If the farm is not properly constructed, the mantis shrimp will escape, and the loss of breeding will be very heavy. Therefore, we need to put up protective nets in the farm before breeding, which can effectively prevent the mantis shrimp from escaping. Of course, we also need to properly repair the breeding pond and make it as smooth as possible, which can also play a role in preventing escape.

5. Reproduction

We also need to pay special attention to the reproduction of mantis shrimp. Generally, during the reproduction period of mantis shrimp, we need to put some wet soft mud at the bottom of the breeding pond. If the breeding environment is not comfortable, mantis shrimp will stop breeding. Especially if the bottom of the breeding pond is a cave, it is even more unsuitable for mantis shrimp to lay eggs.

6. Disease

In the process of breeding mantis shrimp, we must do a good job of inspection and keep records of the growth of mantis shrimp, so that we can understand the growth of mantis shrimp and find problems in time and make solutions. We must clean and disinfect the breeding environment in time to reduce the invasion of pests and diseases. Secondly, we must enhance the immunity of mantis shrimp through feeding. In addition, we must strictly follow the vaccination prevention process for disease prevention.
