How to raise parrot fish best in Feng Shui

Introduction: Many of our friends who have a refined taste like to raise fish at home as home decorations, and more often they raise fish that can bring fortune and Feng Shui. Parrot fish is loved by many fish lovers because of its beautiful shape, especially the blood parrot fish, which people love even more. So, how to raise parrot fish? Here, the editor will tell you some relevant knowledge about how to raise the most popular blood parrot fish. What are the Feng Shui issues when raising fish at home? Let’s take a look at it from the perspective of fish tank Feng Shui.

Parrot fish basic information:

Parrot fish have long, deep bodies, blunt heads, brightly colored bodies, and large scales. The body color is colorful, the male fish is green and orange or green and red, and the female fish is blue and yellow. Parrot fish are very greedy and will eat almost anything, including artificial bait, flakes, pellets, bloodworms, etc. It is said that parrot fish are particularly united and cooperative. If one of them is unfortunately hooked or caught in a fishing net, other parrot fish will come to help escape. Since parrot fish are greedy, some toxic objects in food cannot be removed in time after being eaten by parrot fish. Therefore, fishermen advise diners not to eat parrot fish.

Six common diseases of parrot fish:

(1) Lack of energy and listlessness, commonly known as "unrealistic", and a significant decrease in activity.

(2) To withdraw from the group, hide in a corner or gather in a group.

(3) The caudal fin and dorsal fin are not extended, commonly known as a clamped tail.

(4) Loss of appetite and not rushing for food.

(5) The body color is not bright, and the blood parrot fish is not red.

(6) Special lesions appear on the body, such as spots, lumps, redness, swelling, edema, congestion, bruises, bleeding, abnormal color, increased mucous membranes, mucous membrane shedding, and other abnormal manifestations.

Now that we know that parrot fish will develop the above common diseases during the breeding process, how can we prevent or change this situation? Before understanding how to raise parrot fish, let us first understand the living habits of parrot fish.

How to keep parrot fish:

1. Water temperature: The reason why parrot fish turn white or black is largely due to unsuitable water temperature. The editor learned from a friend’s experience in raising parrot fish that parrot fish are relatively easy to raise among tropical fish. They do not have high requirements for water temperature and are highly adaptable, but they are particularly sensitive to sudden changes in water temperature. The water temperature in the fish tank should be between 25 and 30 degrees, and it is best to maintain it at around 28 degrees. The parrot fish will then turn red and be full of vitality.

2. Feed: Parrot fish can be said to be a big eater among fish. They will eat everything, including live shrimps, baits, flakes, etc., but they must not be fed with small river fish. Parrot fish are greedy and do not know when they are hungry or full, so if you feed them small river fish, they will be too full. In addition, the gills of parrot fish are very fragile, and small river fish also have adverse effects on their gills. Feeding them small river fish will also cause the body color of parrot fish to fade.

3. Light: Parrot fish are sensitive to light. Keep it exposed to bright light for 1-2 hours a day, and then keep it in a darker environment for the rest of the day. According to experience, we cannot rely solely on natural light but should provide regular and quantitative lighting. Remember: the lighting time should not be too long, and the environment of the fish tank should be kept relatively dim after turning off the lights. If the fish tank is in a room that is not facing the sun, increase the light for two hours a day and then turn off the lights. If the room is well lit, you should block the light in the room appropriately after turning on the light to keep the fish tank dim.

Fish tank selection for parrot fish

1. In terms of the number of blood parrot fish: We know that blood parrot fish can bring wealth to the family, but how many are appropriate to keep? Feng Shui masters believe that 6 is more appropriate, because 6 represents gold in Feng Shui. Keeping them in water, gold produces water, making the water endless. Therefore, keeping 6 blood parrot fish in water is in line with the meaning of gold producing water. In addition, raising one fish can also bring wealth; if you raise 8 fish, the eight white earth restrains water, but the eight white is the Zuo Fu star, which is a lucky star; if you raise 9 fish, the nine purple fire, but the You Bi star is a lucky star, which can also bring wealth. Therefore, raising 1, 6, 8 or 9 blood parrot fish in an aquarium or fish tank at home are all good choices.

2. Placement in the bathtub: Pay attention to the height of the fish tank for raising blood parrot fish. Generally, the height of the fish tank should not be higher than a person’s head. If it is higher than the head, it will be like “water pouring on your head”, which is very bad.

3. On the choice of fish tank: use a hexagonal fish tank, with six as the number of water, and it can be used if the owner's five elements are water; if you choose a rectangular fish tank, and the owner's five elements are gold, it can generate water, so it is a sign of good luck; a rectangular fish tank, if the owner's five elements are wood, although it leaks water, the two have a mutual generation relationship, so it can also be an option; a square fish tank, if the owner's five elements are earth, earth can overcome water, and there will be a restraining force, so when choosing a fish tank, it is not appropriate to choose a square fish tank whose five elements are earth; a triangular, octagonal or even polygonal fish tank, if the owner's five elements are fire, water and fire cannot coexist, so it is not suitable to be arranged in the wealth position to promote wealth.

4. Suitable place for breeding: Blood parrot fish is a kind of fish that cannot reproduce. It can only lay eggs but cannot be fertilized. Like mules, they are not suitable for breeding in all places. We can only say that they are suitable for breeding in families with female sovereignty. Infertile ones cannot be raised either.
