Expert Answer

The parrot fish is an omnivorous fish with a large appetite. Daily, you can choose artificial feed, bloodworms, earthworms, brine shrimp, small fish, mealworms, and water fleas as staple food, and occasionally some fruit and vegetables for balanced nutrition.

Second, based on its appetite and size, feed 1 to 2 times a day, with each amount eaten within 5 minutes. Finally, watch its appetite; if it shows no interest in some food, reduce the amount. Also, if it shows indigestion like bloating or diarrhea, adjust feeding method and amount.
