Under normal feeding conditions, zebrafish do not eat aquatic plants. Although they are omnivorous animals, they are not interested in plant feed. They like to eat some foods such as bumper shrimp, red worms, silk earthworms, red nematodes and yellow mealworms. When food is abundant, they will not eat aquatic plants. But when food is scarce, they will eat some young leaves of aquatic plants to satisfy their hunger, but they will not regard aquatic plants as their staple food.

2. How to raise zebrafish

1. Water temperature: Zebrafish belongs to tropical fish and likes higher water temperature. When raising artificially, it is best to keep the water temperature at about 26 ℃. If conditions permit, a heating rod can be installed to keep the water temperature constant.

2. Water quality: Zebrafish does not have strict requirements on water quality. When reared artificially, they can grow well as long as the water quality is clean.

3. Feeding: As mentioned above, zebrafish is an omnivorous fish and can eat many kinds of food. Breeders can feed with a variety of foods, which can not only ensure their food is sufficient, but also ensure their nutritional balance.

4. Change water: Zebrafish like old water, so the frequency of changing water does not need to be too high. When raising artificially, it is ok to change the water once a week. If there is a filter, you can change the water once every 1-2 weeks according to the water quality.
