Hoplarchus psittacus

[Ichy]

I just picked up a couple of parrots recently , and I am considering getting a few more . Anyone out there have pics of the vents? The fish i have are 3-4 range and I am not having much luck venting them ( i am not very good at venting to start with).
Also any pics of your parrots or information you can share would be great . I am hoping to at least keep them alive and free of HITH for a few years .... a spawn would be AWESEOM , but with how expensive they are i may not be able to afford enough of thme to ensure a pair .
Thanks
Tim

good luck with the parrots ichy...i've had 3 growouts in a 200G since october and
the biggest of the three is quickly becoming my favorite fish. great colors and behavior...i'm sure you'll enjoy them.
i keep the water in the mid 80's and do 50% WC weekly with unaltered NYC tap (+ prime) and feed a variety of high quality pellets plus live snacks from the yard...they are thriving so far
