Parrot fish do not eat aquatic plants, farmers can feed small fish, shrimp, red worms, water lice, earthworms, artificial feed and other food. Although it does not eat aquatic plants, it is not recommended to grow aquatic plants in a tank with parrot fish. This is mainly because aquatic weeds can affect the health of parrot fish. Moreover, the size of parrot fish is large, if aquatic plants are planted in the fish tank, it is not conducive to the activities of parrot fish in the tank. Moreover, parrot fish will bite water plants, damage water plants, which is not conducive to the growth of water plants.
Parrot fish can be kept in the grass tank, but it is not recommended to use the grass tank. There are several reasons:
1, parrot fish is an omnivore, although it does not eat water plants, but will bite the water plants bad.
2. The parrot fish is large in size. Unlike the small fish, it can shuttle in the water plants. Moreover, it has great strength and moves rapidly. It will pull up the water plants and destroy the scenery in the tank.
3. Parrot fish like to dig holes in the sand, which will cause a lot of wolves in the tank.
4. Parrot fish eat a lot and excrete a lot. It is not easy to clean up the feces in the grass tank, which will affect the water quality.
In addition, it is suitable for breeding in the water temperature of about 28 to 30 degrees, while many aquatic plants will go dormant in the environment of 28 degrees, and will die above 30 degrees. Therefore, they are not suitable for farming in the same tank.
Therefore, it is more recommended that breeders use naked tanks to breed parrot fish.
