Hoplarchus Psittacus(true parrot)

[joey02]

any thoughts on keeping one 8inch Hoplarchus Psittacus with two Uaru A. in a 90gal? the uaru are fine in the tank now, but i would like to add the parrot. i have had every thing in the tank with uaru, from tetras to sverums with no issues at all. but im wondering if the Hoplarchus Psittacus will also be fine. are they agressive? i know the tank size is not as big as it should be for 3 big fish. filtration is two fluval 405's and two 40% weekly water changes. i also cant seem to find any info on them online. I have the oppertunity to get one of these fish at a great price, but i thought i should make sure every one will be fine in the tank i have to offer it first. thanks.

depends on the fish. i've seen people on here keeping them with other fish while a friend who i got mine from has a 8" beast that will not tolerate. he's a real glass banger. mine are small now and in with other fish. you can try but watch out since uaru are peaceful and be ready to separate immediately.

at 8", it will be ok in a 90g for a while. they will reach atleast 12". the parents of mine were about 14" and 2yrs old
