Very nice! A pair I suppose?

Keep an eye on them. The male can turn anytime and serious hurt or kill the female, even for a bonded or proven pair. Mine did

Thanks for info, they were less than half that size when I got the from thewetspot as Wild Guyana Parrots. I've had them separated for months. I was thinkin on selli g them to a friend of a friend, but I would like to get them to spawn so I'm gonna take out some tankmates and monitor tem closely. They have been digging together and defending their area in tandem. I had a big nice male about a year or so ago. I was told he wasn't AGGRESSIVE, yeah right! He was a monster, but one of my old Atabapo I pikes rammed him and broke his swim bladder. He picked a fight he shouldn't have. Before that he terrorized my Temporalis and a Mono bass.
