When breeding parrot fish, there may be a distinction between male and female. If the young fish, then the difference between male and female is relatively small, the basic distinction can not come out. If it is an adult parrot fish, then it is relatively easy to distinguish between male and female. Specifically, it can be distinguished from the following three aspects:
1. Appearance: The appearance difference between male and female parrot fish is relatively large. First of all, it can be judged from this aspect. The first is their dorsal and anal fins. Males have longer dorsal and anal fins, and some male parrots have longer dorsal and anal fins than their caudal fins; However, the dorsal and anal fins of female parrot fish are relatively short. Another is their gonopores. If the male fish, then their genital pores of the protrusion is smaller; If it is a female fish, the protrusion of their genital pores is larger, which is obvious. And finally, the belly, the male's belly is very smooth, and the female's belly is a little more swollen. Especially when it comes to breeding season, the difference is easy to see.
2. Color: In addition, they can be distinguished by their color. The body color of the male parrot fish will be red, the color of the female fish will be lighter, and the female fish will fade easily in the process of breeding.
3. Temperament: Finally, it can be judged by their character. The temperament of the male fish is relatively fierce, they will be more lively than the female fish, but also aggressive.
Generally speaking, male and female parrots and fish can be raised together. However, if the male fish is very aggressive, resulting in multiple fish injuries, it is best to separate farming.
