The signs before the death of parrot fish mainly include symptoms such as decreased appetite, reduced activity level, scale loss, color fading, and rapid breathing. These signs indicate that the physical health of the parrot fish has deteriorated and it may be on the verge of death.
Specific Manifestations
Decreased Appetite: Parrot fish usually lose their appetite before dying. They show no interest in food and may even refuse to eat. This is because their body organs are on the verge of failure and they are unable to obtain more food and energy.

Scale Loss: Some parrot fish may experience scale loss before death, but this is not a symptom that all parrot fish will have.
Color Fading: The body color of parrot fish will become dim, and the color of their scales will fade.
Rapid Breathing: Parrot fish often exhibit rapid breathing before death and may surface with their heads out of the water, indicating a lack of oxygen or problems with their kidneys.
