Hi,

What 's the best size tank for a blood parrot ? On the net they say like 30 gallon for the first blood parrot. It seems way too small. I was thinking of maybe setting a tank for one or two in the kitchen. My favorite is the bright yellow one. All i see in the local pet store here is the orange ones. I don't know anyone who would ship to Canada. If i had a tank big enough i could potentially mix the two color yellow and orange.

Torpedo barb are beautiful too but once again i can't get them localy aside maybe going to Montreal which would be a good 1 hrs to 3 hrs if i take public transit or my own car. I ruled out a tank full of Tiger Barb because i thought they would be too small and hard to see from afar.
 
A 30 gallon is way too small. A buddy of mine has one that easily the size of a soft ball.
Tiger barbs get some size on them after time. I think they'd be a good addition.

I say a 55 would be a good size for a blood parrot and some tiger barbs.
 
You probably could do a 30g but it might be a bit tight when it gets full sized. Just remember bigger is always better with fish tanks.
