Parrot fish may not eat because the water temperature is too low. At this time, the breeder can gradually raise the water temperature to 26-28 degrees. Or it could be a shock. At this time, the breeder can provide them with a quiet environment and walk away after feeding. It may also be because the water quality is too poor. At this time, the breeder can change the water in time or strengthen the filtration. It may also be because of enteritis, which can be treated with special medicine for enteritis.
Why don't parrot fish eat? What if they don't eat?

1. Low

water temperature 1. Reason: The suitable water temperature for parrot fish is 25-30 degrees. If the water temperature is lower than 25 degrees, the parrot fish will reduce its activity and appetite.

2. Treatment: The breeder needs to raise the water temperature to 26-28 degrees, and be careful not to raise the temperature quickly. After slowly warming up, wait for the parrot fish to recover by itself.

2. Frightened

1. Reason: Parrot fish are timid and can be frightened by beating the fish tank or suddenly turning on the light. Sometimes talking loudly can also frighten them.

2. Treatment: You can put the fish tank in a quiet and dark place until the parrot fish recovers by itself. Usually pay attention not to let strangers approach, leave after feeding, and interact after getting familiar with each other.

3. Unclean

water quality 1. Reason: Poor water quality or serious water pollution will cause parrot fish not to eat. Poor water quality can also easily lead to the reduction of dissolved oxygen in water, resulting in adverse reactions.

2, remedial method: Breeder can change water in time, had better change water 2 days. Keep the water slightly acidic, and ensure sufficient oxygen in the water. If possible, a filtration system can be installed.

4, suffer from enteritis

1, reason: Parrot fish is more gluttonous, if long-term feeding too much will make them suffer from enteritis. If the live baits are not cleaned, they can easily suffer from enteritis.

2, remedial method: Can raise temperature to 28 degrees first, use yellow powder medicated bath next. Or use the special enteritis medicine for fish and mix it into the feed.
