CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Why is the red parrot not red?

1. Why is the red parrot not red?

The main reason is feeding.

First, feeding is not timely or regular, with the child being hungry one meal and full the next;

The second is that the quality of the feed is not good. To feed the "parrot fish", if you want to make its body color bright red, the best way is to feed it live food or fresh frozen food, and it should be fed regularly and quantitatively. Each feeding should be enough for the fish to eat 80% full. At the same time, the water temperature should reach about 28 degrees to 32 degrees, and the water quality should be maintained.

2. Why are the parrot fish in my house not as popular as the ones sold in other places?

Parrot fish rely on natural pigments to maintain their body color. If the pigment is not supplemented for a long time, the color of the parrot fish will gradually turn white.

suggestion:

1. Buy special feed for parrots, and buy a better brand.

2. It is possible to increase the temperature appropriately. The water temperature of parrot fish is basically kept at around 28°C, which can help the fish maintain its color.

3. You can also use red light to make the parrot's color more red.

4. You can increase the lighting time of the fish tank and maintain it at about 8 hours, which can also help the fish maintain its color.

5. You can add oxygen for more than 6 hours a day, because parrot fish are born with defects and are prone to lack of oxygen, which will cause them to turn white, so it is recommended to add oxygen.

3. Hello, the color of the parrot fish I raise is light red (a friend gave it to me, I heard it was red before), how can I make the color darker? I have raised it for 3 months and it is still light red. I change the water about once every 3 weeks. Every time I change the water, I change the whole tank water and clean the fish tank with filter cotton. The changed water is directly connected to the tap water into the fish tank. I am a novice, and I would like to ask for your experience in fish raising. Thank you

Water temperature and water quality have an impact on the color of fish. Water temperature is generally controlled between 25-30℃. In summer, natural temperature is also acceptable, but the fluctuation should not exceed 2℃. Do not change more than 1/3 of the water, because if you change too much, the water temperature and water quality will change greatly, and the fish will not adapt, which will affect the color of the fish. In addition, you should use red lighting, feed feed containing astaxanthin or dried shrimp

4. How to solve the problem of red water when raising parrot fish? How to make the water clearer when raising fish?

How big is your fish tank? Do you put 30 fish in one tank? The water in the fish tank does not need to be changed. You can add water once a week to half a month. Do not add tap water when adding water. Collect the water in a bucket or bottle and leave it for one to two days before adding it. Do not use medicine frequently. Basically, you can use it once for each fish. If your fish tank is 80 cm, you can only keep 10 fish in one tank at most. It is okay for small parrot fish, but it will not work when they grow up. Also, the filter cotton needs to be cleaned once a week.
