CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How often should I feed my mini parrot fish and what kind of food should I feed it?

1. How often should the mini parrot fish be fed and what food should be fed

Mini parrot fish need to be fed 1-3 times a day. They are small tropical fish and do not eat a lot, so the feeding frequency needs to be higher. When they are raised artificially, the feeding frequency can be determined according to their growth stage. Infant mini parrot fish can be fed 3 times a day, and each time they are fed to 70% full. After adulthood, you can change to feeding twice a day, and it is best to feed them to 80% full each time. 1. How often should mini parrot fish be fed? Mini parrot fish are best fed 1-3 times a day. They are small tropical fish, do not eat a lot, and digest quickly, so the feeding frequency needs to be higher. When breeding mini parrot fish artificially, it is best to feed them according to their growth stage and living environment.

If it is a young mini parrot, it is best to feed it 3 times a day, and feed it until it is 70% full each time. Because the young mini parrot fish has a higher demand for food and nutrition, but its appetite is not very large, when it is artificially raised, it is necessary to follow the principle of feeding small meals frequently. When they mature, the breeder can reduce the frequency of feeding and feed them twice a day.

In addition to the growth stage, water temperature will also affect their appetite. If the water temperature they live in is low, breeders need to reduce the frequency of feeding. If the water temperature they live in is high, breeders need to increase the frequency of feeding.

2. What to feed mini parrot fish 1. Animal feed: Mini parrot fish like animal feed the most, and breeders can use animal feed as the staple food. Suitable foods for them include brine shrimp, bloodworms, earthworms, water fleas, silk earthworms, lean meat, animal offal, etc.

2. Synthetic feed: If the breeder is worried that feeding animal feed is too troublesome, he can choose some synthetic feed. Synthetic feed is made according to their habits, and it is easy to store and not easy to pollute the water quality. It is very suitable as the staple food of mini parrot fish. However, the nutrition of synthetic feed is not sufficient, and the breeder needs to regularly supplement some animal feed.

2. How many pellets should I feed parrot fish per day? What kind of food will make it grow faster?

An adult parrot fish can be fed about 10 grains of feed at a time, and it can be fed twice or three times a day. However, because parrot fish of different physiques have different appetites, and the size of feed particles of different brands is also different, it is recommended that breeders gradually determine the amount of feed that should be fed each time by actually feeding them. For the first time, you can try to feed 10 grains of feed and observe the parrot fish's eating situation. If it can't finish eating within 5 minutes, you can reduce the feeding amount next time. 1. How many grains should a parrot fish be fed a day? A parrot fish can be fed about 10 grains per meal, and it can be fed 2-3 times a day. However, breeders should not feed according to this specific value. It is best to determine the approximate amount based on the parrot fish's eating situation. Because parrot fish have different physiques and different water temperatures, the amount of food they eat will also be different.

When feeding for the first time, you can try to feed 10 pellets. If the parrot fish eats slowly and there are residues, you can reduce a few pellets next time. If the parrot fish eats quickly and can finish eating within five minutes and still looks for food after eating, you can add a few more pellets the next time you feed it. Feeding parrot fish should follow the principle of small and frequent meals, because the stomach of parrot fish is relatively fragile, and it is easy to indigestion if fed too much.

2. What food can make parrot fish grow faster? Parrot fish can be fed with some brine shrimp, because brine shrimp is not only nutritious, but also contains astaxanthin, which can help parrot fish strengthen their physique and increase their body color. You can also feed them some earthworms, mealworms, etc. Both of these foods are rich in protein. Feeding more can increase the growth rate of parrot fish. You can also feed them some pellet feed, because pellet feed is artificially synthesized and contains most of the nutritional needs of parrot fish, which is very suitable for them.

3. What is budgie’s favorite food?

Budgies like to eat shelled feed, and their usual diet should be based on millet, barnyard grass, millet or egg millet. They should be fed some green vegetables every day, and oyster meal or bone meal should be used as regular feed (you can also put a whole cuttlefish bone in the cage for them to peck at).

What can't budgies eat (notes for feeding budgies)

When buying a budgie, be sure to ask the bird seller what the budgie has eaten before, because once it is used to one kind of food, it will not eat another kind.

Fruits and vegetables should be fed at regular intervals and in regular amounts. They should not be fed in large quantities occasionally, otherwise the budgie will suffer from diarrhea due to indigestion.

Just give your budgie tap water to drink. If you think the tap water is not clean, boiled water will do. But don’t let them drink beverages, because beverages are too sweet and will cause overnutrition!

Tips: Calcium Supplementation for Budgies

Calcium supplementation for budgies is mainly supplemented during their estrus period. If calcium is not supplemented at this time, it will cause the bird's egg production to decrease and cause greater harm to the bird's body.

Plant fruits, seeds, young tree sprouts, rice grains, corn kernels, millet, peanuts, etc.

Parrots can eat ripe fruits, and some insects are also on the parrot's plate. It is also very important to supplement with fresh vegetables and fruits. Parrot fish prefer slightly harder fruits. The feeding amount is about two to three times a week.

Large parrots prefer foods that are higher in fat, such as nuts, pine nuts, and sunflower seeds, as can be seen from their powerful beaks. Most of these seeds are composed of carbohydrates. Although some are high in fat, most of them lack protein.

4. How to raise parrots and what to eat

1. Parrot fish are suitable for living in water temperatures of 21 to 35 degrees, preferably 25 to 30 degrees. Parrot fish prefer fresh water, and 1/5 of the water should be replaced every day. Parrot fish have strong adaptability to temperature and can live freely in water temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees. During the breeding process, it is best to keep the water temperature within the range of 28 to 30 degrees, and the temperature difference before and after each water change should not exceed 0.5 degrees.

2. The water used to raise blood parrots must have sufficient oxygen. There must be sufficient oxygen in the water because the lips of parrot fish cannot close and their ability to control the flow of water is poor.

3. Blood parrots have the ability to dig bottom sand, so if you want to plant aquatic plants in the environment where they are raised, you must choose gravel with larger particles.

4. Remember to change the water frequently. Fresh water is the favorite of parrot fish. Fresh water can make the color of parrot fish very beautiful. If you don't change the water frequently, the parrot fish will lose color. Therefore, it is generally recommended to change the water every three days and change a quarter of the water each time.
