1. Animal feed: Mini parrot fish are omnivorous animals, and their favorite is animal feed. In particular, some live baits are preferred, and breeders can usually feed them some foods such as bumper shrimp, red worms, Daphnia, Tenebrio molitor, bread worms, lean meat, animal viscera, etc. These foods contain more protein and fat, which can meet most of the nutrients needed for their daily development.

2. Synthetic feed: Breeders can also choose to feed mini parrot fish with synthetic feed, which is made according to fish habits, comprehensive in nutrients and easy to preserve. However, the nutrition of synthetic feed is not sufficient, so breeders need to feed some animal feed regularly to ensure their adequate nutrition.

Mini parrot fish can be fed 1-3 times a day, and the specific feeding times a day should be determined according to their growth stage and living environment. Under normal circumstances, mini parrot fish in infancy need to be fed three times a day. Because they eat less, but need more nutrients to grow and develop better, breeders have to feed them in small quantities and many times. Mini parrot fish will eat more in adulthood, so it can be fed twice a day. If they live in low water temperature, they can be fed once a day.
