Parrot fish is a tropical fish. It has a strong ability to adapt to temperature. It can survive in waters at 20-30 ℃. However, if you want it to grow healthily, the temperature should generally be controlled at about 28 ℃. If the water temperature is relatively low, its body surface will fade, affecting its ornamental value. In addition, it likes slightly acidic soft water, every three days to change, change water to change about a quarter.
The feed for parrot fish should not be river fish, which will cause the color of the fish to become lighter, and may also make it sick. Don't feed loach, this kind of food is not easy to digest. If you often feed live insects, will lead to fish picky eaters, do not eat pellet feed, at this time need to slowly change feed. If you want to make it colorful, you can feed live shrimp and brine shrimp, which need to be disinfected before feeding, and cut off the hard thorns on the head.
If the light is consistent for a long time, it will also cause the color of parrot fish to fade, so it should be allowed to bask in the sun at ordinary times. You can receive 1-2 hours of bright light every day, and then change to a darker environment. In addition to natural light, it can also provide light, and the irradiation time should not be too long. In addition, do not use ordinary fluorescent lamps, you can use red light tubes.
There are two common diseases of parrot fish, namely saprolegniasis and white spot disease. Among them, saprolegniasis is caused by bacteria, the general fish body is vulnerable to bacterial erosion after injury, the wound grows white flocculent, need to be washed with salt water, can also be treated with potassium permanganate and other drugs. White spot disease is caused by white spot worm infection, which can be effectively curbed by changing water and warming up.
