Parrot fish are tropical fish that live in coral reefs. Because parrot fish have a special digestive system, they use their plate-toothed beaks to gnaw down the corals along with their skeletons, grind the corals with their throat teeth, and swallow them. Nutrients are digested and absorbed, while coral debris is excreted. At the same time, parrot fish also scrape algae and soft parts of coral from the reef.
Artificial bait, flakes, granules, red worms, brine shrimp, water lice, mealworms, Small fish, water fleas, earthworms, etc. eat almost everything, and they are quite greedy (can be fed 2 to 3 times a day).
What kind of feed is good for parrot fish
1. Early rumors: Blood parrots must eat shrimp to make their body rosy! This concept is quite correct. Because the astaxanthin in the shrimp can promote the blood parrot to show off the body color, if the astaxanthin can be fully ingested, the blood parrot's body color will be bright red just around the corner. But now there is no need to be so troublesome. Many blood parrot special feeds are available in the market. Astaxanthin and β-carotene are added to the feed. Direct feeding can keep the blood parrot's body color in bright red. case.
2. Fish that are used to eating live bait will not like to eat pellets. Before feeding the fish's favorite feed, feed a small amount of pellets that can add color, but less. After the fish get used to it, gradually add more pellets to reduce the favorite feed, and then slowly turn around.
