What Size Tank Is Needed for parrot fish: 

 parrot fishes are not an ordinary normal generation of fishes. its a hybrid generation of fish which is first invented in Taiwan in around 1986. those fishes are usually very hard to type fish I mean they don't die easily.

But for properly keep those fish you have to use a perfect fish tank because without proper environment parrotfish are not grown. sometimes they can die

parrotfishes are quite hardy fish who normally don't die fast. but if you pet them in small tnak they can't swim properly and it's one kind of jail for them

so they can die!! be careful about that.

it needs minimum 30 to 50-gallon tank if you use a minimum 30-gallon tank for a parrot fish it's going to be the ideal tank for a parrot.

And Remember that if you plan to add more parrot fish in your gang then you have to increase the thank 10 gallons for every fish. these fish generate a large amount of fish poop which is the main and big cause for ammonia so you need to use

a very good quality filter pump otherwise for the ammonia your fish going to die. 

if you want to grow your parrot fish fast and be healthy and colorful so you need a big tank. because if you use a big tank it will grow fast.

Blood parrot Habit:

and also remember that in your aquarium you have to have some hideable places where they can hide. cause those types of fishes are like to keep stay in hiding place. it is very important also for their egg and Breeding

Parrot fish Breeding

most of the time people use the small tank and expect that their fish will give baby or eggs. look until you don't give them proper size 30/40 to 50 gallon

They don't give eggs. blood parrot fish all the time finding a hidden place where they can hide. and it's very important for their breeding.

usually, blood parrot hatches The eggs on the grass or gravel ( if you don't have any kind of hide thing in the tank) and after they found a place to shift their eggs.

if you have enough big or medium hiding place in tank parrot fish shift their eggs there and mommy parrot all time keep eye on eggs.

some miss conception 

when parrotfish hatch the eggs some time people thought that parrot going to eat them and that why they take out parrot from the tank. 

most of the case people take out the male parrot from the tank. cause they thought the female parrot is enough to produce a baby from eggs.

look after hatching the eggs basically female parrot work almost done. now they just take care of the eggs from others.

but after hatch eggs, the main work starts for males. cause eggs have to fertile. without fertilizing how the baby comes out from the eggs. and fertilizing only done by the male parrot.

so please don't separate them. you just give them a place where they can hide and take care of the water temperature. other all works for baby complete parents parrots 

"some time people notice that parrot eat their eggs and they quickly take out them from the tank". it's also a big miss conception.

How to identify the egg fertile or infertile

parrot fish only eat or throughout those eggs who are infertile. 

so now how you can understand which one is fertile or infertile. look!! which eggs have a little black spot which calls nucleus this is fertile egg and after some time baby will come out from them

And infertile eggs have two sighs basically. when you see the eggs turn into 
Dark white or Dak Brown that means they are infertile eggs and that's why fishes eat them or separate them from others eggs

How much parrot fish can grow

parrots can grow in your tank 6 to 10'' which is similar around to 15 to 25cm

we have to take care of winter also Read...

and they can live 10 to 15 years. parrots have so many color variation they red, blood red, yellow-red, yellow, white, 

sometimes you can see the green color parrot. parrot mostly look too much cute when they are in small size

water temperature 

like other fish, it also needs 24 to 30c or 76 to 86F. The ideal ph is 7.0 to 8.0

Blood Parrots mates

as well you guys know parrot is a very aggressive fish. so it's a subject that you have to think about. whatever fish you wanna pet with your parrots remember that those fishes have to bigger than in size from your parrot mouth.

if your other fishes whos going to mates of parrot if they are small or fit with parrot mouth is going to parrot food.

you can pet with them fishes who big in size. like angle, firemouth cichlid, oscar, 

the main thing is you have to put big size fish which not go easily to parrotfish mouth. and better if you pet them alone. if it's not possible then make parrot mates those fishes whos are bigger size then their mouth. 

Why parrot fish keep dying

parrotfish are very strong fish hardy fish they don't die easily. But there are some facts here.

parrots produce so many poops in the tank which is the main cause of ammonia.

because of ammonia, most of the time fishes fall in problem

for ammonia and others, dart in water tank parrots and all others fishes skin are going to rashes. and ammonia can damage their brain and the lungs 

so you have to take proper care for water. that water all time be clear. and if you want to know how to clean water properly then see this article. cause in the water change or clean tank you have to maintain some rules

if you follow those rules hope you don't face any kind of problem about parrotfishes.

parrot fish food

you can use normally parrot food which is available in the shop. But if possible for you, you can give them some time boiled chicken and goat liver 

for that parrot, color glows more and grow fast. and if you want you can also provide them live food like little fishes gappy,moli and so on but its quite expensive

so I suggest you provide them normal foods which available in the shop which specially made for parrots.

if you give them food timely 2 to 3 times in a day in a fixed routine. and follow/careful the amount of food what you give them, be care full about the overfeeding

parrotfish food quality
