Yeah, I know how that goes. And even the newly updated editions don't seem to EVER have correct sizes on a lot of fish. Drives me nuts, LOL.guppy said:I went by the old Axelrod's mini atlas which lists them at 30cm and that I have never seen one myself that was bigger than a foot. After reading your post I double checked with fishbase and they list them at 70cm which is more inline with what you have seen.
I hate old info, this book is to handy to toss but it also lists black aros as only getting to 18"s.
You need to pair that thing off with a prolific S.A. Cichlid, like a juvie RD, JD, GT or Firemouth.. That parrot will cross with anything that will fertilize..BGG said:Yeah, the big thing with blood parrots is to get ones that aren't sterile, which there are VERY few of... but, I have had my female blood parrot lay eggs twice... But, neither time they hatched, so I suspect that my little male is sterile.
