Hello MFK, I am a new member on this site but have been researching periodically and learning so much from all of your amazing posts/forums.
Hope I found the right place to post my questions. I have a few tanks, mostly SA Cichlids, with my 60G “Predator Tank” being my favorite by far.
I would like to hear from anyone with experience keeping Blood Parrots with any other similar sized or interesting cichlids.
I have 1 BP, Jack, about 5” and have had success keeping him with a variety of other cichlids (big and small) in the past. He’s very curious and smart, and not aggressive. I used to have him with a similar sized Flowerhorn (odd, I know, but I acquired him sick and nursed back to health). They used to swim together and would never bother each other. Anyways I don’t have the FH anymore and wanted to get ideas for another “buddy” for Jack.
I did also have him with a female GT, but got tired of her bullying Jack whenever she was getting ready to lay her eggs. Sorry for the long post and background story, any ideas help thank you!
