Breeding methods of parrot fish

Parrot fish is actually an artificial masterpiece discovered by Taiwanese inadvertently, and its origin is very strange. Parrot fish's father is the red devil, the mother is the purple red fire mouth, all belong to the South American large Sparidae fish.

Breeding methods of parrot fish

Although the parrot fish is lovely, it is completely artificial, although lovely but artificially carved. Its origin, its body color, its body shape are all artificially carved. The parrot fish looks black when it is still a young fish, and then the black slowly fades and becomes pink. At this time, it is necessary to feed the colourful feed to lay the foundation for the bright color in the future, otherwise it will miss the period, even if it is not helpful to feed the colourful feed later. It is the most common red, but the body color is multilateral and varies with the ambient water temperature. Usually the water temperature is low or the body color becomes lighter as soon as the water is changed, showing pink or white. It also has a yellow variety, and its genes are unstable due to hybridization. For its special purple feed, it will be purple when you grow up.

The eggs between parrot fish can not reproduce, which is equivalent to mules. If you want to get parrot fish, you can only reproduce through the red devil and purple fire mouth. Due to the strong nostalgia of the sea bream, the two fish often fight together until the other one is killed, so before breeding, how about anaesthetizing the red devil of the male parent and the purplish red mouth of the female parent, then cutting off their mouths and teeth with scissors and stopping the bleeding? Cruel. Newly hatched parrots are fed with pigment feed, cut off part of their dorsal fins if they want to get unicorns, and cut off all their caudal fins if they want to get a heart breed.

Breeding environment of parrot fish

1. Water quality requirements: blood parrots like soft water with weak acidity and low hardness. Because the blood parrot's congenital lips can not be closed, the control ability of huff and puff flow is poor, the flow through the Gill is smaller, and the ability to exchange oxygen with the Gill is much worse than that of its male parent, female parent and other fish. Therefore, the water body where blood parrots are raised must have sufficient oxygen. The aquarium tank had better be equipped with biochemical filter cotton, water pump and aeration equipment. The specific indexes are PH value about 6.5 and dissolved oxygen 8 mg / L.

2. Temperature control: the blood parrot has strong adaptability to temperature and can live freely in the water temperature of 20-30 ℃. But the blood parrot is also very sensitive to temperature. In the case of low water temperature and drastic changes in water temperature, it is easy to produce stress reaction, resulting in dull body color, loss of bright luster, and even black stripes or markings. In the process of feeding, it is best to keep the water temperature within the range of 2528 ℃, and the water temperature difference before and after each change of water should not exceed 0.5 ℃.

3. Feeding and management: blood parrots have miscellaneous feeding habits, and eat almost everything, such as artificial bait, flakes, granules, red worms, harvest shrimp, water lice, etc., and they are quite gluttonous, so it is easy to raise blood parrots, but it is not easy to raise blood parrots with strong physique and colorful body. It is necessary to feed the food at a fixed time every day, rationally match the nutrition of the feed, and regularly feed fresh shrimp and small fish. it is best to choose the artificial bait specially prepared for the blood parrot, which is supplemented with astaxanthin and class D carotene. Direct feeding is not only convenient, but also can make the body color of the blood parrot more bright and beautiful.
