BP tank video

well if you get rid of the females. i prolly know some ppl that would probably want them. that is if you want to ship.

let me know if that big ole bi-color male is fertile. he looks like he might be.

anyways, thanx for sharing these with us. that red is pretty deep on some of those

I can't ship, but I think I'm going to get rid of most of these parrots unfortunately. This tank has turned into a warzone, and now my favorite parrot, a large male and my very first BP, has wounds that he might not survive. Dammit!

If he survives I'm keeping him and one other in a 55g, and devoting this big tank to something else.

aww, sorry to hear about the injuries. I do like the tiny one darting out from underneath the driftwood though!

I sold all but two of these guys. It was a beautiful setup but unfortunately much more fighting than I expected. My favorite male had several fighting wounds on his head that somehow migrated to his sensory pits and started looking like a fungus-filled version of HITH. Absolutely nasty. So I isolated him into a 30g long and treated with some salt, high temp, and big WCs. He's doing much better but his pits are still a little deep. I added his girlfriend and he's in heaven. I guess I'll just keep the two of them in there while they're comfortable and put my SRT in the 90g.

They're acting like they want to spawn. Not much in the tank but Tahitian moon sand, a flowerpot, and a few skinny plants so they have plenty of swimming room. Here's a few pics, you can see his head. Excuse the algae.
