I am rehoming my 8”-9” Hoplarchus psittacus aka True Parrot. A beautiful cichlid that I love and do not want to rehome, but need to. Lately my L24 has been targetting it during feeding. No damage is ever done but it’s stressful for the True Parrot. Kept in my 180 for just over a year now it has put on good size. Very healthy. Willing to drive up to 2 hours to meet. I am located in the Wisconsin Dells area. I will only ask for cash to help with fuel and pictures of the tank and tankmates you plan to keep this fish with. Send me a message if interested 608-548-2563.

Beautiful fish; I hope you have good luck finding it a suitable home. Congrats on not placing some exhorbitant price on it, and on insisting on pics of potential future homes and tankmates. Anybody serious about this fish should certainly not mind paying for your gas, and thereby you will hopefully weed out some ne'er-do-wells who might respond to a "free" ad for anything.

I'm not really a pleco guy nor a cichlid guy, but there isn't a pleco on this planet that I would choose over this lovely fish.

I appreciate your comment a ton. I think it’s only right I find this fish a great home and owner. Hopefully someone comes around!

I’ve been wanting a true parrot. Any chance you may offer shipping to WA 98052?

I would like to avoid shipping if I can. Let’s give it some time and see who might be around me.

If that was my True Parrot Cichlid the L24 would be rehomed.

The L24 has been with me longer and Pseudacanthicus are my favorite genus of fish on the planet.

Bump. Still available and doing well.

Have the 13” L24 doing the exact same thing but its keeping everyone out of 2/3 bottom zone including clown loaches even rainbowfish that wants to rest at the bottom- no one is safe from her charging like a bull at them. Thought mine was the only one being such a troublemaker!

It has settled down really well for me. I piled more driftwood up where the H. psittacus likes to hang out. They are like that hahaa, just naturally territorial. My worst is my L97, that fish is such a brute it pushes around the L24 like nothing. Gentle giant with the other fish though.
