I inherited a huge blood parrot yesterday. It is about 8-10 inches. It is one of the prettiest fish that I have seen. I would like to know what would be good tankmates. I also inherited a 55 gallon tank. Thanks for your help.:eek3:

nice pictures of the BP. you might be right about it being a king kong. I am not sure exactly what that means, but its definately bigger than any BP I've seen. enjoy, looks like you've got a nice fish. btw, I keep my BP with a Jack Dempsey, and they get along great.
