The feed that the Dutch phoenix fish eats in different periods is different. When young, it usually feeds on rotifers and paramecium, and when it grows up, it will begin to eat animal feed, such as Cladocera, tubificidae and insect larvae. It can also be fed with frozen fresh feed or dry feed, because the fish mouth is not big, the feed can not be too big.
1, did not adapt to the environment: The Dutch phoenix fish just entered the fish tank that period of time, has not completely adapted to the environment, therefore often will stop feeding. This is a relatively normal situation, do not worry too much, usually within a week will be restored. Just stop feeding and wait until your appetite recovers before you feed it.
2. Water is not suitable: Dutch Phoenix fish is suitable to live in warm waters. Usually the water temperature should be kept between 25-28 degrees Celsius, if the water temperature is too low or the water quality is not good, the fish's appetite will also be affected. Therefore, water should be changed regularly to keep the water clean and hygienic, and at the same time, attention should be paid to warming up.
3. Unpalatable feed: Dutch Phoenix fish are usually not picky eaters, but if they are fed a kind of feed for a long time, the fish will be tired of eating it. In this case, we need to change the feed in time, feed it with more delicious animal bait, or directly use live bait, but we must do a good job of disinfection.
4. The fish is sick: After the Dutch Phoenix fish is sick, its appetite will also be affected, causing it not to eat. At this time, we need to change water first, then heat up and add salt, which has a good therapeutic effect for most diseases, if the situation does not improve, we can also consider medicinal bath, but because it is not drug-resistant, so we should pay attention to controlling the concentration.
