Convict x Blood Parrot

I'm eager to see some pics as well bc I have both convicts and BPs. Didn't cross my mind that they could hook up LOL!
I was told this was a jellybean when I bought her. She hasn't grown in the 4 months that I've had her and she sometimes has a nice orange color on her side, which reminds me of a female convict. She's a really nice addition to my tank and even though my other fish are more than four times her size, she never gets picked on.

yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. Her mouth looks a little bit different than my normal convict though. Almost like a midas mouth, but maybe that's just my imagination.
Why is that?Chrisplosion;4754334; said:
I dont think anybody knows where SB convicts came from. Some research suggests they came from "bubblegum parrots". The parrots that are usually dyed. Parrots are bred with pink convicts to make pale BP which are easier to dye and the SB Cons are just an anomaly that came from that and just line bred for the balloon effect or spinal condition. The other option is they were just line bred from a natural occuring anomaly which I highly doubt unless inbreeding was a primary factor. Who knows. I dont even like them, Much rather have a pure pink convict (which I do). I dont think any type of "jellybeans" are worthy hybrids.Chrisplosion;4753227; said:

Because King Kong Parrots have a higher fertility rate than Blood Parrots.

The name Jellybean is thrown around for 3 different fish:
* Shortbody Pink Convicts dyed or undyed
* Blood Parrot x Convict dyed or undyed
* Blood Parrots dyed
I don't particularly care for them either. The dyed shortbody seem to be more common than the other 2 but they are often confused with being BPxCon, so its all a combination of name and fish confusion.
