ive had 2 parrots and a GT in a 90 for about 4 months now with abs. no issues.... but moving them all to a 200 for other reasons now (and theyre all about 4-5 inch)
If your talking about Blood Parrots you should be totally fine. Heck the BP's might surprise you, remember they've got Red Devil blood running through their veins. Despite being unable to close their mouth's which one would assume would be a big defecit, I've had mine run shop on Green Terrors. Their attitude and profile put fear in other fish. I had one run shop on a tank with a Hatrwegi, Green Terror, Lyonsi and 2 Armatus. Sometimes it's all in the tude.
On paper it should be fine and it should work but remember thats on paper. Every fish is different what you can do with one GT doesn't mean you can do it with another GT. Fish are just like people they are all different. I also have a 150 I have two GT's one male and one female I also have an Oscar. Try putting them all together or just in twos and its a royal rumble. Now my Oscar does fine with my clown loaches and tinfoils but don't like my silver dollars. On paper however they should. Now my male GT I didn't think would get along with anyone but to my surprise I put him in my main tank were my oscar use to be and he gets along with them all.
So basically to sum it up on paper it should work just fine but remember every fish is different so the only way to find out is to give it a shot and see what happens but keep your eyes on them for the first couple days.

I have a 180g, have discus, flowerhorn(largest fish) parrot, HRP, pink con, silver dollars, 5 star general, pair of sevs and 1 male GT. NOBODY picked on the GT, and he only nipped at a couple of the fish here and there...but just yesterday, i got up off the couch to see the GT had the flowerhorn pinned in a corner beating the tar out of him....he just snapped. Now my FH is in a hospital tank and my GT is at a pets store up for sale
Just gotta watch those TERRORS

I'd say it's pretty atypical for this to be the case though. Majority of the time it would be the other way around with the FH tearing apart the GT, but like previously stated, it all depends on the fish
Anyway I hope your FH makes a full recoveryYMCMB;4922826; said:
As far as having room, I think you have more than enough for five cichlids, especially considering the sizes involved. As others have said, the aggression will depend on the individual fish. There is really no way to predict that, so you just have to try it and keep an eye on their behavior.

Is that the HRP in your avatar? I've never seen one so blue.
