Aggression

[convict360]

Hi guys, having some aggression issues between my two blood parrots. Tank size is 92 gallons, with 2 BP's, juvenile GT, and danio dithers.

Dithers and GT are fine just now, they're potential problems long term I.e. getting eaten, aggression with GT, but right now its my 2 BP's that don't stop locking up.

They're getting black spots which I read as a sign of stress, dyu guys experience this? Figuring I might have to restock one of the parrots.

Are they males, females or a mixed pair...they do have a significant amount of red devil heritage so the genetics for hell raising are there, but they also generally court very aggressively as well. If they don't get along, eventually one will get pummeled and the other will become dominant. Before that happens, you may need to find a home for one of them...

I have absolutely no clue whatsoever what sex they are lol, I thought they were difficult to sex? What are the indicators?

You have to look at the vent. If its a u shape it is a female, more pointy, a male... search venting in the Flowerhorn section and you will find pictures of what you are looking for. Good luck.
