CATDOLL: How much food to feed parrot fish at a time and how many times a day

1. How much food should be fed to parrot fish at one time and how many times a day

It is best to eat once a day within five minutes. It is best to feed in the morning and keep the amount at a fixed time.

Parrot fish feeding requirements:

1. Water quality requirements

Blood parrots prefer soft water with weak acidity and low hardness. Since blood parrots are born with lips that cannot close, they have poor control over water flow, and the water flow through their gills is small. Their ability to exchange oxygen between water flow and gills is much worse than that of their fathers, mothers and other fish. Therefore, the water for raising blood parrots must have sufficient oxygen. It is best to equip the aquarium with biochemical filter cotton, water pump, and oxygenation aeration equipment. The specific indicators are pH value of about 6.5 and dissolved oxygen of 8 mg/L.

2. Temperature control

Blood parrots have strong adaptability to temperature and can live freely in water temperatures of 20-30℃. However, blood parrots are very sensitive to temperature. In low water temperatures or when the water temperature changes dramatically, they are prone to stress reactions, which can cause their body color to become dull and lose its bright luster, and even cause black stripes or spots to appear. During the breeding process, it is best to keep the water temperature within the range of 25-28℃, and the temperature difference before and after each water change should not exceed 0.5℃.

3. Feeding and management

Blood parrots have a varied diet, and they eat almost everything, including artificial bait, flakes, pellets, bloodworms, brine shrimp, water lice, etc., and they are quite greedy. Therefore, it is easy to keep blood parrots alive, but it is not easy to raise blood parrots with strong physique and bright body color. You should feed them bait regularly and quantitatively every day, reasonably match the nutrition of the bait, and regularly feed them with fresh shrimps and small fish. It is best to choose artificial bait specially formulated for blood parrots. This feed with added astaxanthin and D-carotene is not only convenient to feed directly, but also can make the blood parrot's body color more bright and beautiful.

2. How many times a day should you feed parrot fish? How much food should you feed them at a time?

Once or twice a day is fine.

Parrot fish are greedy, so just feed them until they are 70% full each time.

In summer, when the water temperature is high, feed once every other day. Don’t feed too much, and mainly feed feed.

Feed once a day in spring and autumn, mainly feed feed, and once a week feed cooked shrimp meat;

In winter, feed once or twice a day, mainly feed feed, and feed cooked shrimp meat twice a week.

3. How much feed should a parrot fish about 7 cm in length be fed and how often should it be fed? I need precise numbers, thank you fish friends!

Feed once a day. It is best to finish eating the feed within 5 minutes. 5 minutes is the main time. Feed it until 80% full each time. It will easily die from overeating. It is enough to feed it once in the morning.

4. How much feed is best to feed parrot fish at one time?

It is impossible to calculate in granules (granules also come in different sizes, and the host did not tell the size and quantity of the parrot fish). Generally, it takes about 5 minutes to finish eating.

When feeding parrot fish, you need to feed them at a fixed time, quantity and location.

I usually feed it once in the morning and once in the evening. In the morning, I feed the pellets first, and then the shrimps in the evening.

5. How to feed parrot fish of different sizes together

1. If you have just bought a parrot fish, it is recommended not to feed it for 3 days, because parrots are timid and need to adapt to the environment and water quality. Don't feel sorry for the fish, the fish will be fine. 2. It is recommended to buy granular food such as Bao Zenghong in the market, because parrots need to be red, but the price is quite expensive. Feed 2-3 times a day, and make sure they finish eating within 5 minutes each time. Don't feed too much.
