The whitening of the red parrot fish may be caused by insufficient dissolved oxygen in the water. At this time, it is necessary to install an oxygen pump in the tank to increase the dissolved oxygen in the water. It may also be caused by the deterioration of water quality, which should be improved by changing water. It may also be affected by water temperature or feed. At this time, the water temperature needs to be adjusted to 25-30 ℃. When feeding, we should feed more shrimps, which contain astaxanthin to help the red parrot fish become red.
