The invention discloses a high-density culture method for oriental weatherfish. The method comprises the following steps: (1) building a culture pond, wherein the cross section of the culture pond isa square structure, and the interior of the culture pond is provided with a water insulation wall, waterwheel type aerators, a sewage discharging pit, inhabiting frames, a dissolved-oxygen detector and rotifer cultivation pools; (2) disinfecting the culture pond; (3) preparing a substrate and water, adding decomposed excrement and earthworm feces into the culture pond, inoculating chlorella, cyclotella, and cryptomonas, and cultivating photosynthetic bacteria; (4) freely culturing oriental weatherfish fry and rotifer larvae; and (5) performing feeding management, 2 to 3 days after the orientalweatherfish fry are thrown, feeding the fry with self-prepared fodder every morning, noon and night, and adjusting water color transparency. The culture method provided by the invention has the characteristics of a less sewage discharging amount, a high culture density, relatively stable water quality and the like.
