CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to breed bighead carp and what kind of feed to use? Thank you

Silver carp include silver carp and bighead carp. They have similar feeding habits.

It is a large freshwater fish that feeds mainly on aquatic plankton. Silver carp grows fast and has a relatively high economic value. It is valued by the freshwater aquaculture industry and is one of the important species in polyculture fish ponds.

Silver carp lives in the upper layer of water, mainly feeds on phytoplankton, and also eats a small amount of zooplankton. Rotifers are the first bait cultivated in the pond for fry, and they also like to eat soy milk and other artificial concentrated feeds of similar size to rotifers. As the fry continue to grow, after the summer flowering stage, the gill rakers are basically grown, and gradually turn to filter feeding on phytoplankton. Through pond fertilization and water quality cultivation, silver carp can grow well, and they like to eat all kinds of powdered artificial concentrated feeds at all growth stages.

The natural food of silver carp is mainly phytoplankton, and its good growth can be achieved by fertilizing the pond and cultivating the water quality. Silver carp also likes to eat all kinds of concentrated feeds. In order to strengthen its physique, it is beneficial to the development of gonads to add some bran and bran concentrated feeds after spawning, in autumn and early spring.
