Your website shows that you've got true parrot cichlids available (Hoplarchus Psittacus). I'm looking to pickup a pair, possibly a trio. Just wondering if you had pics of actual stock on hand?

They will be the Venezuelan strain, just look them up on Google, what you see is what you get. As juv. they will have a more splotched, spotted/striped pattern. As they get larger they will start gettin more greens and blues on them. Better get a group larger than 3 though, as they can be pretty aggressive towards each other. I've got 12 of the Brazilian strain right now and they still bicker and fight amongst each other to a certain extent. I've got them split into two groups of six in two 27 gals (36"x 12.5 x 13"). They are AWESOME cichlids, by far my most fav. next to Crenicichla. Tons of personality and LOTS of color! Get HUGE too...;) Hope you love them once you get them! BTW...they WILL eat plants...;)
