Red parrot fish eat mealworms, because mealworms contain a lot of protein, which can promote the growth and development of red parrot fish. However, breeders should pay attention to shelling and disinfection before feeding mealworms. Their shells are difficult for parrot fish to digest and are usually excreted in the form of feces, which is more troublesome for breeders to clean up. Therefore, it is recommended to remove it before feeding. The purpose of disinfection is to prevent the parasites from infecting the red parrot fish. It's better to feed them some white mealworms that have just molted. The amount of feeding should not be too much, otherwise the body fluid of mealworms will easily pollute the water quality.
