1. Reason: Parrot fish do not require high water quality. Generally, neutral and weakly acidic water can survive. However, long-term unclean or alkaline water quality will darken their color.
2. Solution: The breeder can change the water in time, preferably 2-3 times a week. The PH value of the water should be controlled between 6.5 and 7.0, which can promote the pigment production of parrot fish.
1. Reason: If the temperature is too low, the parrot fish will fade in a large area. If the temperature difference is too large, the parrot fish will have a stress reaction. The main symptoms are dim body color and reduced food intake.
2. Solution: The breeder can control the temperature at 28 degrees. When changing water, it is better to control the temperature difference within 2 degrees. Do not suddenly warm up or cool down.
1. Reason: Parrot fish is not red, which may be caused by long-term feeding of the same kind of food. Because the feeding habits of parrot fish are miscellaneous, breeders need a reasonable diet to make parrot fish grow healthily.
2. Solution: The breeder can use synthetic feed and live baits to feed, and the live baits can be red worms, shrimp, mealworms, etc. You can also choose to feed some red feed regularly, and you can also feed parrot fish special feed. Both of these feeds contain a lot of astaxanthin and carotene, which is good for their color.
1, reason: parrot fish need sunshine to synthesize pigments, if kept indoors for a long time, it will make their color lighter.
2. Solution: Breeders can expose parrot fish to the sun for 2-3 hours every day. If conditions do not permit, fish tank lights can be installed in the fish tank for 2-3 hours a day.
