Question

i just got it two days ago and so far i've fed it once a day its with an other fish im not sure what type. the parrot fish is blue im not sure if that makes a difference and there in a 2.5 gallon tank

Answer 1

parrot fish dont like water they like bleach  

Answer 2

Parrot fish shouldn't be blue....this fish is dyed...he will eventually lose this color, may have a shortened life span due to the dyeing process, they strip the fish of its slime-coat using chemicals, and either dip the fish in dye, or inject it with dye. Avoid buying odd brightly colored Parrots. Parrots should be white, light pink, pale orange or bright redish-orange. Your parrot if it survives will out-grow that small of a tank fast, if you do not upgrade, both your fish will die from suffocation of not enough oxygen, burns ( your tank will not be able to clean the waste, pee & poo, from them). Feeding should be in the morning and night. Please upgrade to a 20+gallon tank before your fish perish.

This is what Blood Parrots look like, these are my buddies.
