I have 7 Blood parrots and all are orange. I was at the fish store yesterday and they had two small White Bloodparrots. Ive never seen this. Is there White Bloodparrots? or could these be jelly bean's. They do look like PB but their mouth's can close. What could these be? I kinda want to buy them but would like to be sure of thier species.
 
They are selling them as Blood Parrots. They are the size one would normally be when grey/brown color. They have normal eye's but body is all white. They gills are a bit rosy but no other color to them. They are $7.99 each. They lady said it is hard to tell what color they would become she thinks yellow.. I just find it odd because I have never seen a white baby Blood parrot. The mouth does close too.. None of my BP's mouth closes.... I don't have a pic. Just picture a juve BP but white and a mouth that closes. lol. At first I was thinking cool a white BP that could be a King kong because of the mouth closing... almost bought them too.. But I just find it odd and somthing I've never heard of.. IF there is such thing as White Blood Parrots then I would be right back there buying those two up. lol

I am thinking they are just those low quality Blood Parrots that are popping up everywhere now, I have a couple of them myself. I am thinking it is just juvie color for them.
 
well those white parrot i think they some kind hybrid that look a lot like a green terror except the body it's all white
 
I think what you see is just a shortbodied pink convicts but the picture would be helpful.

However white BP do existed.
 
I work crazy hours the next few days but I will be going back and I'll take a pic if they are still there. I'm very curious.
 
I got a white BP from Wal-Mart. It turned out he was overly stressed, and when I put him in my tank, he turned orange and happy.
