Introduction: Among Feng Shui fish, parrot fish should be considered one of the most popular fish.

How many parrot fish should I keep?

If you raise too few animals, it will be monotonous and have no ornamental value. It is like there are only one or two people living in a huge house. It feels empty and boring. Of course, it is a different story if you want to practice. If you raise too many parrot fish, the filtration cannot keep up and the fish will easily get sick. Here is a calculation formula for you. You can choose the number of parrot fish to raise according to the specifications of your own tank. For example, if the tank is 80*40*50, then 80*40*50=160L. If each parrot fish is calculated as 16cm, then you can raise 10, which is ideal.

Feng Shui issues that need to be paid attention to when raising parrot fish

How to keep parrot fish

1. Water quality management

Blood parrots also need weak and low hardness water. However, because blood parrots are born with a healed beak, they have half the ability to direct water through their gills for breathing. Therefore, the breathing function of the gills has become an obvious "fatal injury". Once the gills are injured or the process of absorbing oxygen is not smooth, it will directly affect the physiological health of the blood parrot.

2. Temperature control

Blood parrots are a species of fish that are quite "sensitive" to temperature. This is because when the water temperature is low or changes drastically, they are prone to lose their bright body color due to physiological reactions, and even worse, black stripes or markings may appear. Using a heater to raise the water temperature to within the range of 25-28°C can make the fish appear brightly colored and full of vitality.

3. Selection of feed and bait

The "astaxanthin" in shrimps can promote the blood parrot's body color. If the blood parrot can fully ingest astaxanthin, the blood parrot's body color will be bright red in the near future. However, many blood parrot feeds available on the market now have astaxanthin and "β-carotene" added to them. Feeding them directly can maintain the blood parrot's body color in bright red.
