The invention discloses a crucian breeding method. The method specifically includes the following steps of parent fish selection, parent fish cultivation, artificial spawning, incubation and emergence. Nutrient-enriched feed fed in the parent fish cultivation process is prepared from, by weight, 115-120 parts of expanded corn flour, 80-85 parts of peanut meal, 55-60 parts of bone meal, 12-14 parts of chicken feather, 1.4-1.6 parts of salt, 36-38 parts of wheat germ, 48-50 parts of oyster meat, 17-19 parts of oyster shells, 0.07-0.09 part of astaxanthin, 0.16-0.18 part of zeaxanthin, 4.2-4.4 parts of palm oil, 1.4-1.6 parts of spinach extracts, 0.7-0.9 part of mulberry leaf extracts, 0.6-0.8 part of extracts of opuntia, 0.32-0.34 part of compound vitamins, 2.6-2.8 parts of garlic essential oil and 0.11-0.13 part of sodium lactate. The feed used for the method is scientific and reasonable in formula and complete and rich in nutrition, all nutritional ingredients act in a matched mode, the reproductive performance of crucian parent fish is effectively enhanced, the feed is good in palatability and easy to digest, feed intake of the crucian is greatly raised, absorption and conversion effects are greatly improved, and flesh quality is effectively improved.
