Ok
I would say when kept on a good diet and if water is changed properly not that much. Driftwood helps them keep their rich color too.
Oh I understand. I have never owned a bp that can close its mouth... but if I did, I would probably have the same opinion from experience as you. Lol

Is there a way of telling if a bp will have a closing mouth when it's about 1", my lfs has a few available. Also when do they start coloring up? Thanks for the info.
I know sometimes bp are dyed different colors, usually pretty small ones. I have also have seen bp dyed deep red which faded to orange a few weeks after. If they are very red and have red eyes, they are most likely dyed. I've seen purple ones w/ purple eyes ...if they are dyed it may not last very long, leaving a dull parrot. I have also seen some very nice large bp that are a few years old and have been taken care of, look great as far as color goes.

I have one that hasn't faded yet. It's about an inch and its mouth used to close but as it keeps developing it's looking like it mouth won't close. Also this is my first go with a bp that wasn't faded already.
Leaving them with purple eyes? That is some extreme cruelty just to make a buck.

Not saying the dying is ethical or anything. But the first pic is just short body pink convicts that are dyed.
And the second pic does look to be blood parrots that are dyed. But what is even worse it some of them are "heart" parrots which means they cut of the tail to make their body look like a heart when it heals.

Yea I agree the first pic is pink cons... Hell I wonder what will be next. The second is bp's. Yeah I've heard about the tail cutting... I wonder what grade they get? That all mighty dollar has some people making some very evil acts.

The issue is the uneducated fish keepers who keep buying them. Or maybe the kids. They go in and see all these fruity colored fish and want one of every color so they buy them.
Or they see these little heart shaped fishies and immediately want one because its shaped like so.
But they probably think the fish are naturally like this.
