What if the blood parrot fades?

First, the reason why the blood parrot faded

1, scared. Some blood parrots are born red, but some are born white. The red color of fish is mainly caused by feeding red granular fish food or gradually changing color when growing up. But the blood parrot will fade when it is frightened.

2. Fish food problem. Some blood parrots are brightly colored because they are fed fish food with red particles. If you don't eat fish food with red particles, it is very likely that the body color of the blood parrot will begin to fade.

3, the temperature problem, we should also pay attention to the heating and oxygenation of the fish tank in winter.

There is something wrong with the fish itself. This kind of fish was not very red, but the profiteers colored it to make it red, so it will fade after a period of time.

Second, prevent the blood parrot from fading.

1, gradually add particles to the feed (which can increase the color), and the blood parrot will make the color better. Give some granules (which can add color) before feeding the feed, so that the blood parrot can adapt. Feed the original feed after eating, and gradually adjust to the new feed. This will adapt.

2. If possible, the fish tank must be illuminated for 4 hours.

3. Replace it with a red tube. Ordinary fluorescent lamps make fish look blue.

4. If the color of the blood parrot becomes lighter for more than 90 days, it will basically not return to the original color level. So change the feed in time.

Third, blood parrots are timid and should pay attention to feeding.

The blood parrot is timid, so you can turn on the light before feeding. After turning on the light 10 minutes, wait until all the fish are adapted and courageous before feeding. After a long time, a conditioned reflex is formed, and the blood parrot will come by itself as soon as the light is turned on. If the blood parrot is mixed with large ornamental fish, you can prepare some granular fish food (of course, shrimp is better) and put it with other bait. There is less granular fish food, and the big fish can't finish it for a while, so the blood parrot can grab it. Moreover, the granular feed has the function of increasing color, so that the blood parrot will not fade. Of course, it is best to keep large ornamental fish such as arowana in a separate tank, so that blood parrots can eat leisurely. However, it doesn't matter even if you eat less. Hungry won't be a problem, but if you eat too much, you will get sick easily. Think about nature, it is often the law of the jungle, and it is natural for small and medium-sized fish to eat less.

Fourth, the influence of light.

Blood parrots are sensitive to light. It is necessary to give strong light irradiation regularly and quantitatively. Keep 1-2 hours of bright light every day, and then let it spend the rest of the day in the dark. Remember: the lighting time should not be too long, and the fish tank environment should be kept dark after turning off the lights. In this way, once there is light again, you will find that the blood parrot is much redder than before. If the fish tank is in a room without sunshine, increase the light for two hours every day, and then turn off the lights. If the indoor light is sufficient, it is necessary to properly block the indoor light after the light is irradiated, so that the fish tank is in a dark state. Blood parrot will turn red in dark environment, and strong light or sunlight will easily make blood parrot white. Choosing the blood parrot from red lanterns, Taiwan Province Province is very beautiful, and it is also helpful to lure color. But be careful not to be too strong and too long.

5. Change water frequently to maintain good water quality.

Good water quality is very important for blood-infected parrots, so it is recommended to change water frequently. Blood parrots will be redder in weak acidic old water, so don't change water or pour tanks frequently, which will easily make parrots fade. Wipe the cylinder before adding water, filter for several hours, and then change the water when it is clear. Blood parrots prefer new water. It is best to change 1/4 water once every three days. This can solve the color problem in water caused by fish food.

The key to the beauty of the blood parrot is gorgeous, so if you want to make the blood parrot at home more ornamental, please pay attention to the above aspects, and your fish will be more beautiful and charming.
