During the period of hatching, the fins of the mini parrot fish are underdeveloped, so they cannot swim. They usually need to wait until the yolk is absorbed before they can swim normally and take off. After taking off, the parent fish will take the small fish for food and also protect them. However, after a while, the mini parrot fish should be raised separately from the adult parrot fish. Because the fry are small, they can avoid being eaten by other fish and adult parrot fish as feed during feeding, and the excretion of adult fish will harm the growth of small fish.

In the daily maintenance of mini parrot fish, you must first pay attention to the control of water temperature. Mini parrot fish can grow in water temperatures between 20 and 30°C. In order to avoid diseases, the water temperature needs to be stable during the maintenance period. Between 25～30℃. At the same time, raising parrot fish requires regular water changes, and their excrement and food residues will affect the water quality. Mini parrot fish are omnivores and can choose to feed animal feeds, such as red worms or nematodes. Mini parrot fish themselves have a small food intake, so the amount of food fed each time should not be too much. Although mini parrot fish are lively, they are still relatively small. It is recommended that the small fish be designed with water plants, rocks and other scenery in the fish tank to help them hide and rest. A good environment can also help parrot fish grow quickly.
