Feeding is an important aspect of breeding the Blue Dragon. First of all, the variety of food needs attention. At different stages of their growth, the requirements for food types are also different. When they are just hatched for a few days, they can only feed egg yolk. After they grow up a little, they can feed some small food such as paramecium. After they grow up, they can feed more kinds of food.
They are omnivorous fish, and all kinds of food can be eaten. However, animal feed contains the most nutrients and is the most beneficial to their development. Therefore, animal feed can be used as staple food, such as nematodes, tubificidae and water fleas. However, special attention should be paid to disinfection when feeding this food, because it may contain some bacteria and parasites that are harmful to Blue Man Dragon. If there is no animal food, you can also feed them some fish feed and so on. Plant feed is also possible, but try not to feed only this kind of food.
When feeding the Blue Man Dragon, in addition to the type of food to pay attention to, but also pay special attention to the frequency of feeding. In order to provide adequate nutrition, it is best to feed every day. However, the frequency of feeding is different at different stages of the growth of Blue Mandragons. In the juvenile stage, when the egg yolk is fed, it can be about four times a day. After that, it can be reduced to three times a day. After they become adults, they are generally fed twice a day, not too often, once in the morning and once in the evening. In addition, the amount of feeding should be adjusted according to their number and size. Moreover, if the water temperature is below 18 degrees, then the appetite of the blue dragon will be reduced, at this time the feeding amount is best to be less.
