Well I had to go back to Petsmart to exchange my turtle light that broke and I just had to stop by the fish area and ended up buying 2 more blood parrots for $10 each. Right now both are freaking out (like most new blood parrot) so its hard to get a good pic but here they are. The little one is so cute.

Very cute. What size tank are they in?

 

[Experiment397]

yeah!!! another blood parrot lover!!! so what size tank, and how big are they? they are sooo cute!

 

[Planetnicolas]

I dont like them much but I can tell hwy people love them.
while I was in lima peru I saw some with tatoos one had a rose bush on it. felt I had to share that

 

[Jdmxluv]

ive had like 12 of them in one tank before. i think they are more active when there is more the 3. only bad part is they eat so much.

Well I have 2 in a 75 gallon (4" and 4.5"), 2 in a 55 gallon (4" and 3.5"), 1 in a 20 gallon (3") and 1 in a 55 gallon (1.5").

I am keeping the 2 in the 75 gallon, and the smallest one I have regardless of anything. The other 3 I am using to see which will pair up with my bonsai flowerhorn. After the bonsai flowerhorn is clear of ick I am moving the parrot thats in with the bonsai into the 55 along with the bonsai. I want to breed kirin parrots.

I have a feeling your ick problem is never going to clear up if you keep buying fish from petsmart and not quarantining them before you add them in with your other fish. Even if the fish you got from the pet store don't appear to have ick they're probably carrying it.

how many can go in a 60 gallon? how do you tell them apart?

Well I put one in a tank that is getting treated for ick and another in a tank that has no fish so if the one starts getting it I will move him into quarantine.

2 would be fine, 3 max assuming you get Jellybean (not dyed of course) or regular blood parrots. If you get a King Kong Parrot then I would say one.
