Parrots

[chicken_boy_Kurt]

I'm not trying to offend anyone who likes parrots but what is every one's opinion on them?:)

[chicken_boy_Kurt]

BTW I m sorry if I did offend anyone.

i personally think their awesome looking fish, man-made hybrid or not.

i could care less about the arguements about how they cant close their mouths, or swim right. if the fish was really hurting that bad, they wouldent breed, eat, and alot of them very well grow to some nice sizes.

Thanks for the input IKeepPacu.

BTW what is the cross that first made the blood parrot?

[aznxcalikid]

you can love them and hate them at the same time. sometimes they come up to the front of the tank and stare at you and sometimes they forget who you are and run around in the tank and bump into things when you come by. they get scared over nothing and make my oscars think something is going on. overall theyre nice fish but not the best looking ones. and their mouths are fine its not like theyre predatory fish.
and they show my convict whos boss and stop bullying.

http://geocities.com/parrotcichlid/history.html says that the roots are a mystery but they are currently being produced by Midas cichlid and Redhead cichlid.
if youre planning to get blood parrots my opinion is dont. get something more exotic and better looking. blood parrots arent bad fish though. they have interesting behaviors like pushing each other around (theyre probably playing but i dont know). ive seen my parrots fight and its a blood bath. only they cant bite so its not really a bloodbath they end up pecking their mouths away. eventually they stop and become friends but after a long fight. very long fight. but thats rare. they work together to move little pebbles around the tank to make a pit and everyone sleeps in the same pit at dark and they come to you when they see you especially when you hold up food. cool fish but not the best looking.
