The reasons why map fish do not eat food:

1. The water quality environment changes drastically. Map fish do not have strict requirements on water quality and can live normally in weakly acidic, neutral and alkaline water. The suitable water temperature is 22-26 degrees Celsius. However, if the water quality environment changes drastically, it will be difficult for the map fish to adapt for a while and become sick, and may not eat food.

2. Don’t like to eat these foods. We know that map fish are carnivorous and ferocious fish that can eat earthworms, tadpoles, small fish, and shrimps. When the breeder feeds some single, vegetarian food for a long time, it will cause the map fish to eat abnormally, and it will also refuse to eat.

3. Finally, when the map fish is found not eating, the breeder should also check whether the fish is sick. For example, white spot disease, gill rot disease, etc. The effects of any disease can cause map fish to stop eating and may even put their lives in danger.

What to do if the map fish does not eat food:

1. First, check whether the water quality environment is stable, and then proceed to the next step of observation and treatment. If the water quality environment is unstable, adjust the water quality in time.

2. Map fish does not eat food. Parents should also check whether the food they choose to feed matches its taste. At the same time, you can appropriately choose some foods that map fish like to eat to stimulate its diet and let it return to its normal diet.

3. If the map fish does not eat food due to disease factors, it is necessary to treat the map fish in time, and then adjust its diet to return it to a normal diet.
