CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What do parrot fish show when they are hungry?

1. What signs does a parrot fish show when it is hungry?

When a fish is hungry, it will swim around looking for food. When it sees its owner coming, it will swim over to ask for food.

2. What food does yellow parrot fish eat?

Yellow parrot fish can be said to be a foodie among fishes. It will eat anything from live shrimps, bait, flakes, etc., but it must not be fed with small river fish. Parrot fish are greedy and do not know when they are hungry or full. Therefore, feeding parrot fish with small river fish will make them full. In addition, the gills of parrot fish are very fragile, and small river fish also have adverse effects on the gills. Feeding small river fish will also make the body color of parrot fish fade.

The yellow parrot fish has a long and deep body, a round and blunt head, a brightly colored body, and large scales. The body color is colorful, with male fish being green-orange or green-red, and female fish being blue and yellow. Parrot fish are very greedy and will eat almost anything, including artificial bait, flakes, pellets, and bloodworms. It is said that parrot fish are particularly cooperative and if a friend is caught on a hook or in a fishing net, the other parrot fish will come to help escape. Because parrot fish are greedy, some toxins in the food cannot be removed in time after being eaten by parrot fish, so fishermen advise diners not to eat parrot fish.

There are many types of parrot fish, and the yellow parrot fish is one of the rarer types. Many fish lovers have thought that this fish has been injected with hormones, but this is not the case. The yellow parrot fish is actually a fish that is artificially hybridized like the macaw fish, not an artificially operated fish, so you can raise it with confidence.

If you want to raise this kind of fish, then it is very necessary to understand its feeding method. The feeding method of yellow parrot fish is actually not much different from that of blood parrot fish. It is worth noting that yellow parrot fish do not need to be fed with color-enhancing feed. You can catch some live food such as small fish and shrimp to feed it. Live food can stimulate the appetite of fish, or you can feed it with some very ordinary feed. Parrot fish are omnivorous animals and are not picky about food, so you don’t need to worry too much about feeding.

In fact, the yellow parrot fish is the same species as the parrot fish we usually see, but the color is different. This fish is like a tiger. Usually the tiger we see is yellow and black, but there are also white tigers, and this white tiger is very precious. However, the parrot fish is not as precious as the tiger. So you don't need to be too restrained in raising it.

Most of the fish lovers see red parrot fish in the market, and yellow parrot fish is relatively rare, so few people keep this fish in a tank. They are mixed with red parrot fish, Yuanbao parrot fish, red and white parrot fish, etc. This parrot fish can not only be raised with other parrot fish, but also with dragon fish, Brazilian fish, map fish, fortune fish and other fish.

The color of regular yellow parrot fish is natural, but there are also many fish merchants who pass off colored fish as fake yellow parrot fish, so the yellow color of some yellow parrot fish is the natural color of the fish, while others are not. It also depends on what species you buy. In addition, if the yellow parrot fish is fed with color-enhancing feed, it may change color, it may become orange-red, or it may become pink. There are many uncertain factors.

3. Characteristics of Macaw Fish

The difference between macaws and ordinary parrots can be seen from the following points. The first is the beak shape. The beak of ordinary parrots is usually T-shaped, crescent-shaped, or triangular, and cannot be completely closed. The macaw has a normal straight beak. However, this cannot be used as the only criterion for distinguishing the two types of parrots. Many junk parrots like red devils also have straight beaks. The second is to look at the shape of the back of the head. The junction of the head and back of ordinary parrots is generally concave when viewed from directly above the eyes. The head of the Yuanbao parrot is a smooth arc line, while the macaw is protruding. Adult macaws generally have a clear head. The third is to look at the body shape. The standard blood parrot is short and round, while the macaw is slightly longer and flatter.

Fourth, look at the size. Generally, blood parrots are 15-20 cm long, while macaws can reach more than 25 cm and weigh up to 1 kg. They also grow faster than blood parrots.

In addition, macaws are more ferocious and aggressive than ordinary parrots, but this problem may be alleviated if multiple macaws are kept together in a large tank.

The father of the macaw fish is the purple firemouth fish; the mother of the macaw fish is the red devil fish.

The father of the blood parrot fish is the red devil fish; the mother of the blood parrot fish is the purple firemouth fish

4. Briefly talk about the characteristics of parrot fish

Parrot fish, also called blood parrot.

Parrot fish have a large appetite and are omnivorous. They eat bloodworms, brine shrimp, mealworms, small fish, water fleas, earthworms, pellets and other feeds. Do not feed them small river fish. Once you feed them small river fish, the color of the parrot fish will definitely become lighter. Blood red parrot fish will be full after feeding them small fish because they are greedy and do not know when they are hungry or full. Feeding them feeds rich in astaxanthin will make the fish appear bright red, which is very pleasing.

Parrot fish prefer fresh water. Parrot fish are born with lips that cannot close, and have poor control over water flow. The water flow through the gills is small, and the ability to exchange oxygen between the water flow and the gills is much worse than that of their fathers, mothers and other fish. Therefore, the water for raising parrot fish must have sufficient oxygen. Generally, change the water every three days, and change a quarter each time. Keeping the water fresh can ensure that the parrot fish does not fade.

Parrot fish have a strong ability to adapt to water temperature, but in low water temperature or drastic water temperature fluctuations, parrot fish are prone to lose their bright body color or even fade due to physiological reactions, and even worse, black stripes or spots will appear. Maintaining the water temperature at around 28 degrees can make the fish show bright body color and vitality. Parrot fish living in low water temperature for a long time will have fading problems, and are prone to illness and death. If the color becomes lighter for more than three months, it will basically not return to the original color.

Parrots are sensitive to light. If the light remains the same for a long time, the color of the parrot will fade. The light exposure time should not be too long.
