The parrot fish keeps the oxygen pump on all the time. They are a hybrid of the red devil fish and the purple fire mouth fish. They are born with lips that cannot be closed, and their ability to swallow and spit water is relatively poor. Fish rely on the exchange of water through the gills to obtain oxygen. If the ability of parrot fish to swallow and spit water is poor, the water flow through the gills will be less. If the dissolved oxygen in the water is insufficient, then they will suffer from hypoxia. Therefore, when raising parrot fish, oxygen pumps need to be installed to ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water. If the breeder does not want to install an oxygen pump, a filter can be installed and then left on for a long time to both clean the water and provide a small amount of oxygen to the parrot fish. If you can't install a filter, you can change the water every day and increase the dissolved oxygen in the water.
will happen if the parrot fish does not turn on the oxygen pump? If the parrot fish does not turn on the oxygen pump, there will be hypoxia. If the water quality is clean and refreshing, and the feeding density is not high, they will generally not have any problems. If the water quality is poor and the breeding density is high, the parrot fish will suffer from hypoxia. If there is no oxygen in time after hypoxia, it will endanger their lives. Therefore, in the case of normal feeding, it is better not to stop oxygenation for more than 4 hours.
