in a few days. The newly bought parrot fish are usually fed after 2-3 days. Parrot fish are more defensive, they just put them into the fish tank, they will not adapt, will stay in the fish tank motionless, do not eat food. Before putting it into the new tank, the water in the fish tank and the water in the plastic bag need to be poured back and forth several times to ensure that the water quality is not very different. About 2-3 days later, they will start to move, then feed them, first feed them a small amount, at this time their appetite is not high, put too much food, the leftover food will sink to the bottom, resulting in poor water quality.
for parrot fish to feed? At the beginning, you can feed parrot fish some live baits. Live baits taste better and are one of their favorite foods. Live baits are rich in nutrients. Feeding them with live bait can increase their appetite. Live insects also swim in the water. In the process of chasing food, parrot fish not only exercise their bodies, but also make them better adapt to the new environment.
However, before feeding live baits, live baits need to be disinfected to kill the pathogens and parasites carried by live baits. After they adapt, they can be fed with artificial diet. Artificial feed contains all kinds of trace elements they need, which can supplement the deficiency of live bait and make them grow better.
