WHAT ARE KILLIN PARROTS
 
Lol yeah you have blood parrots. Lol. Though it looks like someone cut off the tail of the bigger one when it was younger : (.

Kirin parrots are a specific breed of parrot
created by mr. Chan cheng foo

lateley the term Killin has been used looseley as a way to describe a parrot shaped fish with flowerhorn body markings.


As for size, you measure them. : P

if you're talking about what size they can potentially attain, I'd say that, genetics pending, most parrot cichlids can get to about the size of a basketball, environment and husbandry permitting.

Please,

Treat (and feed) them well, and keep their home as clean as you are able to.
If they are happy and healthy, then they can become very lucky for you indeed.

Unlike most cichlids parrots aren't identifiable gender wise unless they breed. There isn't any distinct traits that are you can look for, yu could try venting but even that can be wierd since I've had parrots that's tubes look like it could be either or.

i've seen them for sale in toronto with no tail they had them listed as heart parrots, i hope they dont cut the tail off them to get that look that is horrible, but i guess fish arent really born without a tail

Yup, they snip the tails off juvenile parrots to get the heart look. They also dye them with clothes dye and tattoo them with designs.
