However, because parrot fish is a freshwater fish, if the salt is too high for the growth of parrot fish is unfavorable, so when putting salt, we need to pay attention to more problems. The first is the type of salt. Try to use coarse salt, or you can choose special salt for fish, not iodized salt, and do not use seasoning salt.
Moreover, because parrot fish are not adaptable to high concentration of salt, it is necessary to strictly control the amount of salt added. The concentration can be controlled between 0.3% and 0.5%. Within this range, there is no harm to parrot fish, and salt can play a corresponding role. The concentration must not be too high, otherwise it will play the opposite role, which will adversely affect the growth and development of parrot fish.
Although parrot fish is a freshwater fish, a certain amount of salt can still be added into the water for raising it. The reason is naturally that salt has a variety of functions for parrot fish. The most obvious effect is sterilization and disinfection, just bought parrot fish put it into the fish tank when it needs disinfection, when changing water can also add a little salt to disinfect. Moreover, the appropriate salt can balance the osmotic pressure of water and regulate the state of parrot fish body. In addition, when the parrot fish is sick, sometimes salts are used to treat the disease.
