To breed parrot fish, you need to know its life span first. Generally speaking, the life span of parrot fish is between 5 and 10 years. Wild species live relatively longer than those bred in captivity. If the parrot fish are cultured in the family, they can only live for 4-5 years. According to the different breeding methods, the life span of parrot fish is also different.
Experienced breeders will make the environment around the parrot fish suitable, so they can live longer, and their life span can reach 6 years or more, but if they start to learn to breed parrot fish, their life span may be reduced due to lack of experience. Moreover, the life span of different species of parrot fish is not the same, relatively speaking, the life span of macaw fish is the longest.
In order to make the life of parrot fish longer, we need to pay attention to many problems when breeding. For example, the number of breeding, do not raise too much, otherwise they may fight with each other, reducing the life span of parrot fish. It is best to feed them every day and provide them with enough food, but when there is residual food in the water, they need to be cleaned out in time. Water quality is relatively important, and we need to pay attention to the problem of regular water exchange. Usually, it is also necessary to ensure that the water temperature is stable and does not change dramatically, otherwise the life span of parrot fish will be reduced.
