? Parrot fish can not be fed with a single food for a long time. It is better to feed with a variety of foods. Breeders can feed shrimp with feed at ordinary times. Because different foods have different nutrition and value. The advantage of shrimp feed is that it is nutritious and easy to digest, and long-term feeding can increase the body color of parrot fish. The disadvantage is that it is easy to pollute the water quality, and long-term feeding is easy to make parrot fish picky and single nutrition. Synthetic feed has the advantages of comprehensive nutrition and not easy to pollute water quality. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to digest, and long-term feeding is also prone to malnutrition. No matter what kind of food the breeder feeds for a long time, it will have a bad effect on their growth and development, so it is recommended that the breeder feed shrimp and feed together.
1. Feeding frequency: parrot fish can eat more, and have a wide range of feeding habits. Young parrot fish can be fed 2-3 times a day, and the feeding time can be based on the time of breakfast, lunch and dinner.
2. Feeding capacity: Parrot fish eat a lot, but breeders can not feed them a lot of food, because they do not know hunger and satiety, there will be food to eat all the time. Usually, the amount of each feeding can be finished within 5 minutes. If they are not eating well, the breeder can fish out the residual food to avoid polluting the water quality.
3. Choice of food: The parrot fish has a mixed diet and can eat more kinds of food. Breeders can feed with synthetic feed and live bait. Common live baits are shrimp, red worms, mealworms, water fleas, water lice, etc. Synthetic feed can be selected with high astaxanthin content, which can increase body color.
