We got a blood parrot a few weeks ago for our 75 (yes I know people have mixed opinions on them but to each their own). Looking for suitable tankmates that are somewhat larger. Tank currently homes
1 blood parrot
8 Julli Corys
8 Giant Danios
1 Longfin Albino BN Pleco

TIA
 
That is probably my best option eventually...i have a phenomenal LFS across the street from me basically and they currently dont have anymore at the moment. Pretty curious as to what other fish people have actually kept with BPs successfully

That must be awesome. The nearest guy who even answers questions and has exotic fish is 30 miles away. The box stores are open but I get disgusted by the way they treat the tank system I'm afraid to get any fish now.
 
Ya they are absolutely awesome, best fish store in NY. Pristine tanks and always healthy fish, all quarantined for weeks before sale, breeds a ton himself and always has an awesome selection of fish and plants homegrown. We have about 30 fish from them and never had an issue once.

It's just nice to ask about a certain animals hardness preference, for example, and get a good answer. The people in the big stores look at me like I have a penis growing from my forehead.

You could try mollies or swordtails. Your BP can end up anywhere from 5-10 inches full grown and they pack a bioload punch.
 
I figured that hes about 4” now, wont be adding a ton more fish but would like him to have a tankmate close to his size if that makes sense, more than likely a 2nd BP. I have 2 tidal 110s and 2 large sponge filters running currently
 
My BP is a punk and finally settled with a mixed African Cichlid. Same size but about 4 inches and a sassy bunch.
