Blood parrot compatibility

I plan to set up a 56 gal aquarium. Could I put in a BP with assorted mollies and platies?

No. Blood parrot will kill them.

I can see it going either way, Mollys might be fine but it might see the Platys as food. If you get a small BP you should be fine but there is always the chance.

I would get a young blood parrot so it could grow up with the full grown live bearers

I think that the bp will eventually eat them when it get bigger. It will have NO problem with the platys. If you decide to do it make sure u have a divider! But, like chris said it could go either way...

If you get a small one you have a better chance. Mine would give up trying to eat them once they realized it wouldn't fit in their mouths.

Are platys significantly smaller than mollies?

Mollys are larger in general than Platys

A long time ago I had a Bp that was completely friendly, in with tetras and corys. Although, they can also be mean... Get it small and grow it out with the platys, and it could work
