The parrot fish is not red, which may be caused by not adapting to the environment or being frightened. At this time, it should be provided with a quiet environment, and when it adapts, it will recover. It may also be due to the low content of red pigment in the body. At this time, it should be fed with feed containing red pigment, which will turn red after the increase of pigment content. It may also be due to white spot disease. At this time, the sick fish should be isolated and heated to 30 C, while using saline for sterilization treatment.
Parrot fish is not red how to return a responsibility, how to handle?

1. Not acclimatized or frightened

When changing the water, keep three quarters of the old water and add new water, so that the fish will not be uncomfortable.
