Methods to prevent parrot fish from fighting:

1. Isolation board or box:

The most direct and effective way to adjust the fighting of mini parrot fish is to isolate the box or isolation board. Individual fish that like to fight and cause trouble each have their own area of ​​water. If they want to fight, they can only vent their anger against the separation board.

As a training fish for many aquarists, the tanks in which many aquarists keep mini parrot fish are not large, and isolation boxes may be more convenient. But neither the isolation board nor the isolation box is beautiful, and many people don't like isolation. Besides, the isolation box and isolation board may be more expensive than the mini parrot fish itself, and the price/performance ratio is not good.

2. Dodging jars or sunken wood, aquatic plants and other decorations

Dodging jars, sunken wood or other decorative objects that can hide can give the mini parrot fish space to hide. It is conducive to the division of their territories. As long as they choose their respective territories, most of their energy is to defend the territory. Mini parrot fish are generally fish that pay more attention to "martial arts" and usually just drive intruders out of their territory. Unless it is a particularly aggressive and aggressive fish, it will invade the territory of other fish and continue to fight.

The world pairing of mini parrot fish also requires a house. Because they want to breed offspring, they must have a territory suitable for breeding. Therefore, during the breeding season, this type of land grabbing is used to "woo a wife" and have children. The fight will be violent.

If kept in an empty naked tank, because there is no dividing line, the mini parrot fish will amplify its territorial awareness and think that the tank is its territory, so it will fight for the territory.

3. Increase the variety and quantity of polyculture and restrict each other

There is no absolute peace, only the restriction of equal strength. It is the law of nature that the weak can eat the strong, as long as the mini parrot fish feels that the other party is the weakest. One piece, the probability of being killed is very high. Mixing some gentle fish such as swallow fish and Sweeney, which are larger than the mini parrot fish, can not only weaken the territorial awareness of the mini parrot fish, but also use the size advantage to restrain the enthusiasm of the mini parrot fish for fighting. After all, it will also measure the opponent's strength. When it feels that it cannot defeat it, it will use self-preservation as the minimum principle: If you don't offend me, I won't offend you.

Just like tigers and bears, they often avoid each other and try to avoid head-on conflicts. This is because they are evenly matched and no one is 100% sure of defeating the other. If they are injured again and the gains outweigh the losses, then live in peace.

4. Pay attention to the balance of the number of males and females

Mini parrot fish are high-yield fish. When they are 8 months old, they are basically sexually mature and can go into heat and reproduce. At this time, if the male The number of females is inconsistent, with more males and fewer females, so a war for mates is necessary.

Just like a male lion fighting for a group of lionesses, this kind of battle will be more ferocious. Therefore, matching a sufficient number of males and females and trying to implement "monogamy" can also reduce fighting. Let their limited energy be used to reproduce and take care of the next generation, and they will have no energy to fight.

5. Maintain water temperature. Try to adjust the water temperature to between 25-28 degrees suitable for parrot fish. It is also necessary to prevent drastic changes in water temperature, which may cause changes in the parrot fish's temperament.
