I just wanted to share a pic of my blood parrot bella

I usually don't care for hybrids, but I do like the dot on her face. Pretty unique. Good color, too.

well to be honest she was a bit stressed when I bought her (those marks are stress marks) and now that she has been home for a while she is now pure orange. lol. no more markings. She is still very cute though.

Cool. I've heard they have personalities to rival that of an Oscar. Is she responsive and beggy?

oh yes she will follow me around the room in her tank... all the Blood parrots do. Also if A plant moves in the tank... they will peck at it to try and move it.. very picky about their tank set up... they move rocks too.. I have one that seems to keep getting a rock stuck in her mouth.. I've had to take her out and remove it mannually about 7 times now..
They have a very unique persomality..

Don't mind the extra spaces in some of the words...seems to be a problem with my computer..lol.

Fish do die of rock ingestion. You might do well to eliminate that rock from the set-up. Either way, happy fishkeeping!
