The parrot fish has a stomach pouch. Therefore, it is hungry and full. If food fills the stomach, it will feel full and will not eat again. Moreover, its appetite is very large, and the amount of feed generally fed is not enough to make it eat too much. Even if it is fed too much, it stops eating when it is full. Therefore, there is no need to worry that it will eat too much to die. However, it should be noted that when feeding too much, the remaining feed will remain in the water, which will pollute the water quality for a long time. Therefore, the food that the fish have not eaten should be fished out in time to avoid destroying the water environment.
Different growth stages of parrot fish, the demand for food is different. It eats a lot, especially in its infancy. This is the stage of rapid development of its body, which needs a lot of nutrients. And its digestive and metabolic capacity is very strong, so the number of feeding during this period should be increased appropriately.
Generally speaking, young fish need to be fed 2 to 3 times a day. You can't feed too much every time. If a fish is overfed, it will not want to swim and it is not good for its health. The amount of each feeding should ensure that it eats within 5 minutes, and then the next feeding should be carried out after an interval of 8 hours. Adult parrot fish do not need as much food. The amount of each feeding does not need to be changed, but the frequency can be reduced to once a day.
