Parrot fish is an omnivorous fish. If breeders want them to turn red, they can feed some foods rich in astaxanthin, such as small fish, shrimps, red worms, shellfish, seaweed, etc. The astaxanthin content in these foods is relatively high. Long-term feeding can increase the body color of parrot fish. In addition, you can also feed some feed with red pigment, but the color feed should not be fed more. Because this kind of feed is not easy to digest, if fed in large quantities, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal diseases.
In order to make the color of parrot fish turn red, it is necessary to feed more foods with high astaxanthin content, such as algae, small fish, shrimp, red worms, shellfish, etc. These foods are not only high in astaxanthin content, but also nutritious, which are very suitable for feeding parrot fish. But if you want to keep their body color bright, you can't just feed them one kind of food, it's better to match it with some synthetic hyperchromic feed, so that the body color of parrot fish can be kept bright. Although artificial feed is of great benefit to color enhancement, it is not suitable to feed more, 1-2 times a week, and the amount of feeding can not be too large, otherwise it is easy to cause indigestion. Two, parrot fish how to raise more red
1, enough space: parrot fish's territorial awareness is relatively strong, in order to make them better growth and development, it is necessary to prepare a sufficient space for them.
2. Suitable environment: The parrot fish is a tropical fish, and the preferred water temperature is 26-28 ℃. If the water temperature is too low, the body color of the parrot fish will change. If the breeder wants to make the color of the parrot fish redder, it is necessary to keep the water temperature constant. Parrot fish like slightly acidic water, if the water quality is alkaline, then they will fade.
3. Regular illumination: Parrot fish need illumination for better hair color. It is better for breeders to expose them to the sun for about 3 hours every day. Although illumination is good for hair color, the time of illumination should not be too long, otherwise there may be white body color.
