The invention relates to a loach breeding method. The method comprises the following steps of 1, selecting a net cage, wherein the net cage is arranged in a pond with a water depth of 0.8 to 1.0 meters; 2, placing silt, wherein the thickness of the silt is 15 to 25 centimeters; 3, planting aquatic plants, wherein the aquatic plants are planted in the silt in the net cage, and rotifers are fed intothe net cage; 4, putting in fry, wherein 100 to 150 tails of loach fry are put in the net cage per square meter; 5, putting in feed, wherein the feed is put in the net cage 2 to 3 times every day, and the feeding amount is 3% to 10% of the loach body weight; 6, aquaculture management, wherein the aquaculture water temperature is controlled at 20 DEG C to 30 DEG C, and the PH value is controlled at 7 to 7.5. As the loaches are bred in the net cage, the method can reduce the influence of organisms in the pond on the growth of the loaches, reduce the disease of the loaches, prevent the occurrence of the loach disease and increase the survival rate and yield, the breeding speed is fast, the taste is delicious, the nutrition is rich, the method is green and safe, and the yield is improved.
