1. What feeding skills do parrot fish have?
1. Types of food (feed): Because parrot fish are omnivorous fish, owners can mix plant-based feed and animal feed to feed them, which can ensure parrot fish The required nutrients can also ensure that they are nutritionally balanced. If the owner wants the parrot fish to look redder, he can feed some red pigments to the parrot fish.
2. Feeding amount: Because parrot fish will be greedy, as long as there is feed in the fish tank
, they will continue to eat, so the owner should pay attention to the amount when feeding. Under normal circumstances, the amount of feed fed each time should be controlled so that the parrot fish can eat it within 5 minutes, not too much.
3. Feeding frequency: It is enough to feed parrot fish 2-3 times a day, it does not need to be too frequent. If it is a juvenile fish that has just been bought, it can be fed 3 times during the day, with an interval of 3-4 hours between each time; when the parrot fish becomes an adult, it is good to feed it twice during the day, with an interval of about 6 hours.
Second, what are the tips for changing the water for parrot fish?
1. Water quality: Parrot fish does not have high requirements for water quality, but feeders generally choose to use tap water, because tap water is easier to obtain and there are fewer impurities in tap water. However, there is chlorine gas in tap water, so the owner needs to let the tap water expose to the sun for 2-3 days before using it. If the owner uses river/lake water, it is necessary to filter out the impurities in the water before changing it into the fish tank.
2. Frequency of water changes: Under normal circumstances, the water in the fish tank should be replaced once every 3 days. However, if the owner has installed a filter in the fish tank, and the filter strength is relatively large, it is enough to change the water every 5 days; if the filter strength is not high, it still takes 3 days to replace the water in the fish tank. .
3. Water change amount: Although parrot fish has strong adaptability, it is more sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. Therefore, breeders need to pay attention to the amount of water changes, and the amount of water changes should not exceed one-third each time. At the same time, pay attention to the temperature difference when changing the water, and try to control the water temperature difference within 2 ℃.
