    The water temperature is 21 degrees to 35 degrees, and it is best to 25 to 30. Parrot fish prefer new water and should be changed to 1 5 new water every day as much as possible.

    New fish will change color due to the sudden change in water quality, and they will gradually get better after adapting to the environment and adjusting the water quality. It is best not to mix other species of fish in the tank of the blood parrot at first. The addition of penicillin and methyl blue will also make the parrot fish lighter in color.

    Increasing light, filtering, thickening the media, and warming up to 28 degrees Celsius are all practical ways to maintain body color. Pay attention to maintaining the consistency of water quality when changing the new water. Parrot fish can be fed with color-enhancing feed or shrimp meat when they are found to have faded color, but artificially dyed parrot fish will definitely fade after a period of culture, and it is irreversible.

    Changing to a red light tube can also make up for the shortcomings from the visual side.

    There are two main reasons for the appearance of blood parrot fish that are white during the day and red at night

    1. The normal response of the fish body surface to light. In the strong light during the day, the body color of the fish turns white, which can reflect more light. But at night, the fish will get darker and absorb more light, and the red blood parrot fish will look redder as it gets darker.

    2. Illusions caused by the reflection of scattered rays. Under strong light during the day, the glass of the fish tank will reflect some light, which will reduce the visual contrast of the scenery in the tank, so it will look whiter.

    The lightening of the body color of the fish, which is usually a prelude to death, should be closely watched. When the fish is exhausted and has difficulty breathing, its body color will fade, turn white and lose its luster. Most of the reasons are because of the lack of oxygen in the water, and water pollution, it is necessary to immediately replace 1 3 old water, replenish new water, which not only dilutes the pollution factors in the water, but also increases the oxygen content, which can alleviate the condition of the fish.

    For example, increasing the number of water changes, 24-hour continuous operation of the filter pump, adding an aeration pump and appropriately reducing the amount of feeding are all effective.

    The reddening at night is most likely due to an increase in oxygen in the water during the day or the influence of light.

    1. When buying parrot fish, choose bright red disease-free ones, and parrot fish are not easy to raise.

    2. If you want to make the blood parrot bright red, you must maintain a superior water quality environment. It is necessary to ensure that the water quality conditions meet the needs of the blood parrot's life, and at the same time, the water quality must be kept stable, and the water temperature should not be high for a while and low for a while. At the same time, make sure that there is enough in the water to meet the needs of the parrot fish to grow.

    3. Change the water in time to raise a good parrot fish: keeping the water fresh can ensure that the parrot does not fade. If you do not add fresh water for more than 4 days, the parrot will lose color.

    Therefore, it is generally necessary to change the water once every three days, and change it by a quarter at a time. In general, parrotfish will be lighter in color within 2-3 hours before the water change, but will soon return to red.

    3. Light is helpful for the coloring of blood parrots.

    1. It is best not to mix parrot fish with other fish to avoid it being frightened; Frightened fish become thinner and lighter in color; Moreover, the number of parrot fish should not be large, because parrot fish are more active and love to play; For example, in an 80 cm aquarium, about 20 parrot fish are raised.

    2. Feeding; In fact, the most important thing for parrot fish is to feed them by eating feed containing pigments. Feed some special feed for parrot fish bought from the market, and you can also feed some shrimp appropriately, because the shrimp body contains astaxanthin to keep the color of the parrot fish bright.

    3. Water temperature; Maintain the proper temperature and good water quality, and it is best to control the water temperature at 28 degrees. Avoid the drastic change in water temperature, which will cause the color of the fish body to fade or appear other color lines and spots. Controlling the water temperature can also prevent the infection and death of the leaves from fungus in a short period of time.

    4. Illumination; It is best to have sunlight for 2 to 3 hours in the place where the fish tank is placed, and a lamp containing ultraviolet rays containing 15 degrees can be used for several hours a day in a place where there is no sunlight. Exposure to a certain temperature can not only sterilize but also maintain the color of the parrot fish.

    5. Water quality: It must be kept in excellent condition, so it is necessary to thoroughly clean the aquarium once in about 4 days to avoid excessive breeding of bacteria in the water, which will affect the health of parrot fish. When it's not time to clean the aquarium, you can change a quarter of the water appropriately.

    Hello! From the experience of Hangtai Aquarium for many years, there are four main reasons for the whitening of parrot fish:

    1. The purity of the species of the parrot fish itself.

    2. The feed eaten by parrot fish is the main reason, and the color of many parrot fish is eaten by feed.

    3. The water quality of the fish tank is not good, and the color will become lighter.

    4. Fish tank water temperature. Parrot fish are tropical fish that are also prone to discoloration when the water temperature is too low.

    Your parrot fish turns red, which means that you have done a good job in the above conditions, and the fish can eat and be active, which means that they are very healthy, but you should keep it!

    The suitable water temperature for melon worms is 15 25. The disease mostly occurs in early winter, late spring and rainy season, especially in the absence of light, low temperatures, and lack of live bait. When the water temperature rises to 28, the melon worms will start to die.

    Change the water, 1 3 change, add a little nitrofuracillin (commonly known as yellow powder) to see if it's okay??

    Also look at the fish feces to see if the fish feces are not red, such as.

    The answer is that your parrot fish is fed with pigment, and if you buy it home and don't feed it, it will naturally fade, in fact, the parrot fish are colored, and feeding the pigment is the most garbage method, haha.

    The physique of the parrot fish and the difficulty of getting sick and dying, pay attention to the water quality is not too outrageous.

    <>1. When the red parrot fish is sleeping, the obvious feature is that the head is tilted forward, slightly facing downward, and it is still in the middle and lower layers of the blind hall water, and the fins have no obvious signs of swimming, and then the fish body slowly turns red (when the Mochai fish is asleep, the sense of urgency caused by the influence of the external environment no longer exists, which is also one of the reasons why the parrot fish turns white in the morning and turns back to red at night).

    2. Of course, not only parrot fish, but basically all fish sleep like this. Try not to disturb the parrot fish while it is sleeping, this is the time for the fish to rest.
