There are the following points for attention in raising parrot fish:
1. Appropriate water temperature: The water temperature suitable for the growth of parrot fish is about 25-27 degrees. They are particularly sensitive to temperature, when the water temperature is too high, too low or changes greatly, the skin will fade, and when the situation is serious, it will appear variegated. Therefore, the water temperature must be well controlled when breeding, and the heating rod should be used to heat up in winter.
2. Clean water quality: The parrot fish breathes with its gills, so it has a particularly high requirement for water quality. Therefore, farmers need to clean the fish tank and change water frequently. Change only a quarter of the water each time.
3. Reasonable breeding density: The small parrot fish has a high requirement for the dissolved oxygen in the water body, and the large breeding density is easy to cause anoxia. And they are very active and need a lot of space. Therefore, it is enough to breed 20 fish in a tank as large as 60 cm.
4, feed quality: Parrot fish is omnivorous animals, almost anything to eat. Farmers can feed more parrot fish to eat shrimp, water lice, mealworms, earthworms, artificial feed and other foods. The astaxanthin in shrimp can make them more colorful, and eating more shrimp is also good for their health. It is suggested that the breeders should feed regularly and quantitatively every day, first feed the feed to half full, and then feed shrimp, mealworms and other foods. This will not only promote their growth, but also benefit their hair color.
5. Naked tank culture: The small parrot fish has a lot of excrement, is active by nature, and has great destructive power. The naked tank is convenient to clean up and move.
Culture parrot fish, you can feed them 1-2 times a day. When they are older, they can be fed 2-3 times a day. When feeding, do not feed too much food, so that they can eat seventy or eighty percent full.
