The average species of parrot fish can grow to about 15 centimeters. But different species of parrot fish have different body lengths. For example, the macaw fish can reach 18-20 centimeters in length, and the God of wealth parrot fish may grow to 25-35 centimeters. If it is a blood parrot, it may only grow to 10-15 centimeters. The body length of parrot fish is closely related to its growth environment, living space and food. If the living environment is more suitable, they can grow a little bigger.

Common species of parrot fish can normally grow to about 15 centimeters, if it is macaw fish, it can grow to about 20 centimeters if properly raised, and the God of wealth parrot fish may grow to about 30 centimeters. But like the common blood parrot fish or the mini parrot fish, it can grow up to 10-15 centimeters. Different species of parrot fish will have different body shapes, but it depends on the species and genetic genes of parrot fish.

It also depends on whether the space of the fish tank is sufficient and whether the living environment is suitable.

2. How long

can parrot fish live? The life span of parrot fish is relatively long in tropical fish. Generally, it can live for 4-8 years, but how long it can live depends on the species of parrot fish. Common species of parrot fish can live for 4-5 years, but they will show signs of aging in about 3 years, and their ornamental value will be greatly reduced. If it is the macaw fish and the God of wealth parrot fish, the life span will be longer, about 8 years, because they are more precious parrot fish species.
