There are many reasons for the red parrot fish turning white. It may just be that the fishmonger injected them with pigment when he sold them, and then the pigment faded when he raised them at home. It is also possible that the water quality is not suitable. In addition, it may also be caused by the disease of red parrot fish, which is sometimes more serious and requires timely measures. In addition, parrot fish is a kind of fish which is sensitive to water temperature, so if the water temperature changes dramatically, it will also cause the body of red parrot fish to turn white.
When the cultured red parrot fish turns white, different measures should be taken according to the reasons. Specifically, there are the following four situations:
1. Feeding red feed: If it is only caused by the fading of pigments, then in addition to feeding them shrimp, insects and other foods, you can also feed some feed containing red, not too much. These feeds help red parrot fish to keep red.
2. Regulate water quality: Red parrot fish has higher requirements for water quality. If the water quality is not suitable, it is better to change the water, and choose the water with low hardness and acidity, which is conducive to the enhancement of red parrot fish.
3, treatment of disease: If the red parrot fish whitening is caused by disease, then the need for timely treatment. In order to avoid infectious diseases, the whitened parrot fish can be isolated and treated separately, and the original fish tank should also be disinfected.
4. Adjust the temperature difference: If the water temperature changes dramatically and causes the red parrot fish to fade, you can pause feeding for a period of time, and then turn on the oxygen pump to provide a certain amount of oxygen, and then let the parrot fish adapt for a period of time. After that, when changing water and other work, the water temperature should not change dramatically.
