1, change water frequently: Parrot fish likes the new water of weak acidity, the person that raise had better change water 2 days, the amount that changes water every time is in one third of total water quantity can.
2. Keep the temperature: Parrot fish is a tropical fish. Its favorite temperature is 28 degrees. The breeder needs to keep the water temperature around 28 degrees. If the temperature is low, you can install a heating rod. If the temperature is high, you can put ice bags in the fish tank to cool down.
3. Sufficient oxygen: The parrot fish is a hybrid fish. Its natural lips are not tightly closed. Its ability to swallow and spit water is poor, and the water flow through the gills is even less. Therefore, its ability to exchange water through the gills is relatively weak compared with other fish. If you want to raise parrot fish well, you need to give them enough oxygen.
4. Reasonable feeding: Parrot fish are gluttonous and have miscellaneous feeding habits. They will eat whatever food they are fed.

The food can be selected from live baits such as shrimp, earthworms, mealworms and pellet feed.
should we pay attention to when raising parrot fish? 1. Maintain the stability of water temperature: Parrot fish have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, but they are most afraid of sudden changes in temperature. Sudden increase or decrease in water temperature will cause them to have stress reactions. Therefore, it is better for breeders to control the temperature difference within 2 degrees when changing water.
2. Disinfect before feeding: Parrot fish are very fond of live bait, but breeders should pay attention to sterilization and disinfection when feeding to avoid their infection with bacteria or parasites.
