Looks like they are coming along nicely I think we are close to finding fertility in these hybrids
Kirin Parrots
- Thread starter Chrisplosion
- Start date
Do you have any other fish with them?
I picked up this tiny, cute little one, we call her rosie and had her in a tank with just 2 good sized bushynose plecos at first and she was never shy and always friendly and hungry. After about a month we moved her to a bigger tank with some new friends, 5 corydoras and 5 tetras and a dwarf gourami that was about her same size. She immediately chased the gourami around a little bit but not bad. Then the first night the smallest tetra came up missing and I thought maybe he didn't take the transfer well or something, Then the next night 2 more tetras were dead. And I knew Rosie was a killer parrot.. lol SO I moved out the other 2 tetras, so she wouldn't get them and the next moring 2 dead Corys! So I took out the other 3 corys and gourami. I'm still in shock this tiny little Kirin parrot is such a killer. She is well fed and has plenty of room, yet killed 5 fish in 3 nights. She is still friendly and doing good.. just all by herself!

Do you think the kirins would mix with some larger blood parrots in say a 120 gallon (minimum) tank? Or do they take after the flowerhorns temperment?

They are like Blood Parrots, I wouldn't mix them with Tetras. With Cichlids they should be fine. So to answer your question yes.
Awesome Chris, praying to the fertility gods for you! In turn I want one that looks like your male!

Chris, there is a female BP at Petsmart that keeps laying eggs. If I breed here with my rd Flowerhorn would I end up with some kirin parrots?
