blood parrot

I just thought of putting a Mom Olive pickle jar in my aquarium. The aquarium has 2 peacocks, an oscar, a sleeper goby, a callicthys cat, Raphael cat and 2 blood parrots. Will it be safe for them or is the glass different from the actual aquarium glass? I also have another set up with three...

hello, I have been moving alot of fish around between our tanks. My female Blood Parrot and Male Escondido Carpintis appear to be pairing. Should I separate them to not let them hybridize? or is this cross desirable?

Hi Is it possible for you guys to take a look here and tell me if this is normally what happens when BP "peel"? I have 2 BP's and this guy is the smallest, the much larger one is still grey. Sorry in-advanced for the poor quality photos and dirty tank. I moved the guy to a spare 30g tank...

Hi all, I posted a few days ago about what I thought was missing scales on my smaller BP, but looking closer I decided it wasn't. I had separated both BP's with the smaller BP going into the new 60g and leaving the bigger in the 45g, so to heal what I thought was missing scales on the smaller...

Hi everyone, Long time lurker, Lots of wet pet questions out there but hopefully this one gives me all my answers. Sorry if the post gets long or if its in the wrong spot, feel free to move it mods :) There's a tl;dr at the bottom I'm planning on getting a larger interactive fish as a wet pet...

Hey guys so ive had my blood parrot for about 3 months now and he is about 3 inches. He has had the black stuff come up on him a lot but i know how to treat him for that. My main concern is his gills. They are super puffed up and there is like a really thin whit layer at the end of the gills...

I am looking to get a dragon goby for a 40 gallon tank. The tank already contains two peacocks and 2 mbunas a blood parrot and a callychthys cat. I also have a Senegal bichir, about 6 inches in a 20 gallon. Which would it be better with?

I have a big blood parrot, about 10" long. He's also a good 3 inches thick and 6-7 inches tall. He has that trademarked triangular mouth, but he's more of a pink color with black outlined fins. He also has a sort of nuchal hum i guess you could call it- that dip between the head and back on...

Hello, post looking at the information available on this forum, i am fairly confident and feeling lucky that valuable advise would be given for my fish problem/s. I looked at the list of Treatments and is such a valuable information for the people with the hobby. Coming to the tank details and...

As the title asked. I find it strange way people knock others for the fish they like to keep. I understand the dislike of people selling fish as a "pure" species but actually mixed but not for people that just want to keep what they want. I, for instance, cannot understand the love for...

This is going to be a log of updates on my breeding pair of a Texas and Blood Parrot. The fish first successfully spawned in a 100 gallon community cichlid tank, however i decided to get the most out of this breeding pair, it would be best to seperate them into their own 55 gallon. After two...

So I picked up this 2-3ich flowerhorn at my local petstore it was labeled as a "warrior flowerhorn". I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it actually is. I'm thinking green maxtix or something..

I have recently noticed my Blood Parrot (female ~6") and Texas cichlid(male ~7") burrowing a cave under a rock, however when I looked into my tank this morning there were at least 300 fry swimming with them. I took out the fry and put them into a 10 gallon for now. Anyone know what these guys be...

I went to my lfs yesterday, just hoping to get a couple more Firemouths, but when I got there this Blood Parrot was calling my name, so I had to take her. She was $50 at 6", which I think is a good price considering my other two lfs asked $30 to order in a 3" BP. I was surprised to see her at...

So after getting my tank healthy and happy I was given a pale looking black spotted BP. I'm thinking female but it is still small and I don't want to stress her with sexing her so for now she has the unisex name of Mopy. ( I'm dating my self with that name lol ) After having her for a little...
