The specific number of parrot fish raised in the family depends on the container prepared by the breeder. The size of parrot fish is generally between 20-30 cm. If it is a 40-60 cm fish tank, 1-2 parrot fish can be raised. If it is an 80-100 cm fish tank, 3-5 fish can be cultivated. If parrot fish are not mature, the number of breeders can be higher, but they should be kept separately after adulthood to avoid fighting over territory. Parrot fish are born with lax lip closure and high demand for oxygen. It is best to adjust the density smaller when breeding, so as to avoid their lack of oxygen.
2. How to raise parrot fish best1. Water temperature: Parrot fish do not require very high water temperature, and they can grow in the water temperature between 20-30 ℃. If breeders want to raise them well, they can use heating rods to keep the water temperature between 25-30 ℃. In this temperature range, their appetite and activity are the highest, and their growth speed is also the fastest.
2. Water quality: Parrot fish likes weak acidic soft water, and the PH value can be kept between 6.5 and 7.0 when raising at ordinary times. They prefer new water, and it is best for breeders to change water once every 2-3 days. If there is a filtration system, you can change the water 1-2 times a week.
3. Feeding: Parrot fish are omnivorous fish, and their food requirements are not high. Breeders can usually feed them some bumper shrimp, red worms, bread worms, yellow mealworms, lean meat, animal viscera and so on. In addition, breeders usually have to feed them with some color-enhancing feed, which can ensure their body color is bright.
