Blood parrot, definitely not a Red Severum. Is it being sold as a Red Severum?

No I picked him (or her) up for free and my first response was that it was a blood parrot. The girl that gave me fish thought it was a gold fish!!! LOL

The fish has some weird black and red dots on it that I haven't seen on a blood parrot but what do I know!

Maybe it's not your typical BP. It could be some other cross. The owner prior to the person you received it from could have had several cichlids together in a tank and eventually ended up with some hybrid fry.

yeah its not your typical blood parrot, its showing a more severum body type but yeah like stated could be a hybrid of a blood parrot and a sev or midas or something else somebody had in the tank together (after all, i think sevs are supposed to be one of the components of blood parrots anyways)
