Can parrot fish be mixed with goldfish

? Parrot fish cannot be mixed with goldfish. The specific reasons are as follows:

1. The water temperature you like is different: parrot fish is a tropical fish, and the water temperature you like is 25-30 degrees. Goldfish are cold-water fish, and their favorite water temperature is 20-24 degrees. Both of them have different requirements for water temperature, and forced polyculture can easily make the two kinds of fish sick.

2, disposition is different: Goldfish is quieter, disposition is milder. Parrot fish are more lively and ferocious. When two kinds of fish are kept together, goldfish are likely to be bullied for a long time.

3. Different body length: The body length of common parrot fish can reach up to 15-20 cm, while that of goldfish can reach up to 30 cm. The body length of the two kinds of fish is different, and it is easy to have excessive feeding density when they are mixed together.

2. Can parrot fish be mixed with guppies

? Parrot fish can't be mixed with guppies. Although they are tropical fish, guppies are smaller and parrot fish are bigger. If they are mixed with parrot fish, they are easy to be eaten. Moreover, parrot fish likes weak acidic water quality, the best PH value is between 6.5 and 7.0, and guppy likes weak alkaline water quality, the best PH value is between 7.2 and 7.5. It is very difficult to regulate the water quality by mixing two kinds of fish together.
