How to raise water for parrot fish

Parrot fish is a very good-looking ornamental fish, easy to breed and colorful and deeply loved by people, and if you want to raise a good parrot fish, you must first raise good water, then how to raise water?

First, how to raise water for parrot fish?

1. Water temperature requirements

The parrot fish is more adaptable and can survive at a water temperature of 25-30 degrees, but 28-29 ℃ is the best.

2. Water quality requirements

Parrot fish prefer new water, and it is more appropriate to change the new water of 1 to 4 every three or four days. If the water quality is weakly acidic and refreshing, do not change the water frequently, because the stable water quality is more suitable for the reproduction of nitrifying bacteria. The water temperature difference before and after each water change should not exceed 0.5 ℃.

3. Increase dissolved oxygen

The respiratory system of parrot fish is incomplete and its efficacy is only half that of other fish, so parrots need much higher dissolved oxygen in aquariums. Therefore, in addition to the water temperature, we should also pay attention to the problem of oxygen in the water. Some fish friends in order to make the parrot fish body color better, so increase the light, strengthen the filtration, thicken the filter material, parrot fish water temperature to 28 degrees, these are practical ways to maintain body color.

4. Increase the light

To raise parrot fish, it is necessary to configure red lights above the fish tank to make the color of parrot fish more beautiful.

Does the water for raising parrot fish put salt in it?

1, it is best to use crude salt or aquarium special salt, do not use seasoning salt with additives, such as iodized salt, do not use seasoning salt. Salt should be dissolved and roughly filtered before it is added, and the salt concentration should be gradually increased within 1-2 days so as not to cause osmotic pressure shock of fish.

2, the safe concentration of salt: the concentration of salt must reach 0.3% per cent, 0.5% to adjust the osmotic pressure, this concentration is very safe for most fish. Some fish, such as some soft water fish and some catfish, are very sensitive to sodium chloride and should be careful with salt. To put it bluntly, the function of salt is to regulate the osmotic pressure of water. Through the adjustment of osmotic pressure to adjust the state of the fish, so that the fish can grow healthily.
