How to raise the most red parrot fish?
1. Feed problem: Because the pigment of the parrot fish is mainly maintained by food, it is usually necessary to pay attention to the type of food fed to it. You can’t choose only one type of food, otherwise the nutrients will be insufficient. You can feed more live bait such as brine shrimp, red worms, mealworms, etc., or buy some feed containing erythroid, but this erythroid feed cannot be fed to parrot fish for a long time, otherwise it will affect the parrot fish. health effects.
2. Stocking density: Because parrot fish have a strong sense of territory, the breeding quantity of parrot fish is mainly determined according to the size of the fish tank
. Too small can not raise too many parrot fish, otherwise they will fight with each other for territory, and if the density of parrot fish is too high, its growth and development will be worse, and of course the body will not be too red.
3. Water quality and temperature: Parrot fish usually prefer a living environment with higher water temperature, and a suitable temperature can also help parrot fish strengthen their bodies Therefore, the feeder mainly controls the water temperature between 25-28°C; at the same time, the weakly acidic water quality can make the body color of the parrot fish more vivid, so the feeder needs to adjust the water quality to weakly acidic soft water, and the PH value should be controlled at 6.5- between 7.0. It is also necessary to replace the water in the fish tank regularly to keep the water quality always clean.
4. Lighting time: Because ultraviolet rays can accelerate the synthesis of pigments in parrot fish, the owner also needs to provide the parrot fish with a certain amount of light time, but the light time It can’t be too long, 2-3 hours of light per day is enough, because if you keep the parrot fish under the sun, it will easily make the parrot fish white. At the same time, shade immediately after sun exposure, environmental stimuli will also make them more red.
5. Fish tank background: In addition, the background color of the fish tank is also very important. If the owner always uses a light-colored fish tank background, the color of the parrot fish It will gradually fade away. Because parrot fish will change body color according to the color of the environment. Therefore, the owner needs to provide them with a dark environment, the best red one, so that the color of the parrot fish body will gradually become redder and redder.
