Common sense of feeding parrot fish

2021-01-19 / 977 Read

Parrots are relatively strong and easy to raise, and it is easy to support them, but it is not easy to choose and raise good parrots. Parrots are best kept in groups in large tanks, single species are best, and they can also be mixed with other gentle large fishs, such as pineapples, purple husks and other American cichlids or red Dragon, golden dragon and other dragon fish, try not to mix with ferocious large fish such as Luohan and red devil, and do not mix with African cichlids such as Liujian, fox, Ali, Prince (different water quality requirements).

Parrots can eat and pull, so it is easy to get muddy water, so the filter system of the fish tank must be strong enough. My Jiabao 1.26 fish tank uses a 35-watt upper filter and a 24-watt outer bucket. Filter, and then use a 3-watt air pump with a double-headed water goblin. It can not only maintain the water quality better, but also ensure sufficient oxygen. Another self-made 1.6-meter fish tank uses two Jiabao 24-watt filter pumps, and designed a large 0.65*0.25*0.25 top filter tank with glass, and spread filter cotton, biochemical cotton, activated carbon, glass from top to bottom. Ring, biochemical ball, biochemical cotton, the filtering effect is very good, plus an air pump with water goblin, raising 80 medium-sized parrots in a tank, the water is still quite clear. It is especially emphasized that parrots must not be hypoxic, because their respiratory systems are very fragile. Once hypoxia is not long, they will die. If they are in a state of hypoxia for a long time, parrots will easily turn their gills. There are many aquarists whose parrots die inexplicably. In fact, I think most of them are due to lack of oxygen, and other fish are fine under the condition of polyculture.

In short, if you want to raise a tank of red and beautiful blood parrots, you must first sharpen your tools, you must have a large fish tank, a good living environment, a powerful filter, and sufficient Oxygen will do.
