Blood Parrots & Bichirs?

[moonchild1970]

Can you keep a Blood Parrot or two with Bichirs and a BGK in a 75G tank?

I own two 4" Sens and a 3" BGk. Thinking on adding one or two 2" Blood Parrot but would like opinions first on if anyone would possibly hurt/maim anyone else if in the same tank. It is down to either a Blood Parrot or a Ctenopoma...

have done that combo with a blood parrot before, here's a picture of him with 12 of my bichirs of assorted sizes.

Wicked. From what research I have done I know that they are both peaceful and like the same water flow, food, condtions-etc. Just wanted to make sure and get opinions.

yup

basically, bichirs and blood parrots should be fine.

Wicked! Thanks I was hoping so. I recently got a 75G tank and want to fill it with different fish!!

just make sure the parrots are a desent size as my sens have eatten many smaller fish in the tank to include 3" mollies, 3" crowntail beta, darters, minnows...they can rip fish appart...

Oh yeah I will. My Sens are small yet which is good.

blood parrot hybrids in my opinion can't kill anything, their mouth is so small they cant even close it. it's like fixed in a certain angle, hence called a parrot. the only thing i noticed about them is that they are fond of disarranging things frequently.

Lol... that's ok. Can't be any worse than the Convicts upstairs!
