i know you guys dont like hybrids but the hybrid forum is not active. if i trade in my other fish how many parrots can i have in a 125g all together?
 
4 you could have five with overfiltration and lots of water changes. they are pretty cool. i have 2 i do not know why everybody hates hybrids????
 
I've heard references in various forums to people hating hybrids, but I've yet to actually see any of this hate, let alone any reasoning for it.
 
I think people hate hybrids that are capable of breeding, just because it can water down the purity of a species. But keep all the hybrids you want in your own home, just make sure people know they're getting hybrids not purebloods if you're selling them or trading them. I myself have plenty of hybrid African Cichlids and love 'em.
 
I love blood Parrots. Recently, there are a new breed of King Kong Parrots with deformed mouths.

Imho, 20x blood parrots. I would put as many as you can afford.

20? they can get up to 6 inches most of the time. sometimes more. Maybe 6 would not hurt. But 20?
 
IMHO yes 20.
 
okay 20 is a lot. With WAY over filtration and TONS of water changes 7 might work. but 4-5 would be better. not going over 7. they are pretty big. Almost half the size as a Oscar. some are bigger than others. they can range from 4-7 inches on most occasions. sometimes larger though.
 
i already got 9 lol.
