1. Water temperature: Parrot fish is tropical fish and likes higher water temperature. However, their requirements for water temperature are not strict, and they can adapt to the water temperature between 20-30 ℃. But if breeders want to raise them well, it is best to keep the water temperature between 25-30 ℃. In this temperature range, their appetite and activity are the highest, and their growth state is also the best.

2. Water quality: Parrot fish likes weak acidic soft water, and breeders can keep the PH value between 6.5 and 7.0 at ordinary times. They can eat and pull, which seriously pollutes the water quality. Breeders need to change the water once every 2-3 days to ensure the clean water quality. If conditions permit, it is best to install a filtration system to slow down the deterioration of water quality.

3. Oxygen: Parrot fish is not a natural product, but a cross between two different fish. Therefore, their natural respiratory system is defective, and their demand for oxygen is relatively high. When raising artificially, it is necessary to install an oxygen pump and pump oxygen for several hours every day to ensure sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water.

Parrot fish are omnivorous fish, and they are not picky about food. Breeders can choose to feed some bumper shrimp, red worms, bread worms, yellow mealworms, lean meat, animal viscera, etc. These foods contain more protein and fat, which is of great help to their growth and development. In particular, bumper shrimp and red worms can make their body colors more vivid.

Parrot fish has a large appetite, so the breeder can feed it 1-2 times a day, and the amount of each feed can be eaten within 10 minutes. If they finish eating and there are food residues in the water, they can be fished out immediately to avoid polluting the water quality.
