The invention provides a crucian breeding method. The method comprises the following steps of fish pond disinfection, fish pond water injection, fry stocking, shrimp and snail putting, feed feeding, water quality regulation with quicklime and fresh water supplementing. Accordingly, the breeding ratio of crucian to carps is reasonably matched, the carps are filter-feeding fish, and in the breedingprocess, surplus materials and energy which are used for feeding are converted into algae plankton and then can be effectively utilized by the carps; a certain number of shrimps and snails are put, and materials and energy which are not fully utilized by the carps can be utilized by the shrimps and snails; by using the quicklime in a fish pond, the water quality can be controlled in an assistant mode; the energy and materials can be effectively controlled and converted in a whole breeding system, breeding sewage is not produced, and zero release of the breeding sewage is achieved.
