Red nose scissors eat shrimp, so usually do not mix it with shrimp. In addition, if you want to feed shrimp daily, you usually use frozen, so that there will be no bacteria, thus avoiding the possibility of fish illness. In addition to shrimp, you can also feed other foods, but pay attention to the mix, so as to avoid fish picky eaters.
The feeding frequency of the red-nosed knife fish is generally related to the size of the fish tank. If the fish tank is relatively large, it should be fed at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Be sure to pay attention to regular feeding. If the fish tank is relatively small, feeding too frequently can easily lead to water spoilage, so feeding once every two to three days is enough.
There are various kinds of feed for the red-nosed scissors. You can choose thin slices, or you can feed the live bait of brine shrimp or blood worms. However, you must pay attention to disinfection, otherwise it is easy to cause diseases. In addition, you can also prepare some frozen food, although less nutritious than live bait, but more safe and hygienic.
There are many possibilities for the red-nosed scissors to have a poor appetite, but basically it can be attributed to two kinds of environmental discomfort or fish body discomfort. If the fish has just entered the tank, it often takes a period of time to adapt, so it is normal not to eat at first, and it will recover after a week. If the water is changed too frequently or the water quality is not good, it will stimulate the fish body and reduce their appetite, so we should pay attention to controlling the water temperature and quality. In addition, if the fish are sick, they will not eat, in this case, they need to be treated first, and then fed after being cured.
