It takes about 3-4 days for the mini parrot fish to hatch the small fish, but the color of the fish eggs will turn black after about 2 days of production. If the breeder observes carefully, he can also see the eyes of the small fish. Fish eggs are born 3-4 days, and small fish can hatch successfully. But they can't swim yet, and they need to wait 5-7 days before they can feed and move on their own.

The parent fish will always guard the eggs during hatching. After the small fish hatch successfully, they will look for food and send it to the small fish. After the small fish can swim, they will take the small fish to forage together. During the hatching of small fish, the breeder only needs to keep the water temperature at 28 ℃ and ensure that the parent fish has sufficient food and oxygen.

1. Water temperature: mini parrot fish can adapt to the water temperature between 25-30 ℃, but newborn mini parrot fish should live in the water temperature between 28-29 ℃. This can not only ensure their living environment is comfortable, but also avoid temperature difference.

2. Water quality: Mini parrot fish likes weak acidic soft water, and breeders need to keep the PH value between 6.0 and 7.0. If conditions permit, it is best to install a filter to keep the water clean. Small fish are just born, so breeders should try not to change water. If the water quality is too poor, it is best to wait for them to take off before changing the water.

3. Feeding: The parent fish of mini parrot fish will lead the small fish to feed, and the breeder needs to ensure that the parent fish has enough food. Newborn fish can be fed with some shrimp eggs, cooked egg yolks, backwater, paramecium and so on.
