Baolian lantern fish belongs to the fish with strong ornamental value. In the process of feeding, we should not only make it grow healthily, but also ensure its bright body color. Maintaining the body color of fish mainly starts with food. In the young fish period, it needs more nutrition, should choose protein-rich food as its staple food. It is not interested in plant food and is generally fed with animal feed. Feeding it some small live bait, such as brine shrimp, nematodes, water fleas, can not only meet its nutritional needs, but also ensure that the fish body color is bright. When the fish grow up, they can be properly fed with some color increasing feed, which can also help to maintain the body color of the fish. However, the pigment content in these feeds is high, so it is not suitable to feed them frequently.
When breeding the Baolian lantern fish, it is necessary to feed them regularly and quantitatively. They do not need much food, but they need adequate nutrition in their juvenile period to ensure that the fish can develop normally. From birth to 6 months old, fish grow and develop fastest. Adequate nutrition is needed during this period, so you need to feed twice a day. Eight hours apart at a time, so that they have enough time to digest and absorb. After the fish has grown to 6 months, the feeding frequency can be reduced, and once a day is enough. If they forget to feed, they will not have problems if they do not eat for two or three days.
