hi everyone this is my first post,
i have a 30 gallon tank which has 1 blood red parrot & 2 iridescent sharks, i want to get a kilin parrot , i just want to know if it too aggressive, how much big does it get, how to care for it??
thanks...devansh...
 
Bonsais are not cheap. Certainly not suitable for a 30gal. Chances are you would have to get it from malasia or thailand. $150-$400 for a 3or4 incher.
 
i will get a bigger tank soon , & i am getting the kilin for only 10$, now what i wanna know is their nature , maximum size & habits.......help...

Depends where you get your fish from that makes the difference on the price. And yes bonsai can live in a 30 gal(they hit 6-7" max). But also beware that like many other flowerhorn, bonsai have the same temperament also. Bonsai is affordable just like many other flowerhorns out there...but quality flowerhorns might hurt your wallet/purse quite a bit.
 
i had one, to be honest i would say they prefere to be only, there grumpy, shy and get quite nasty at times. not suitable for your tank and probabley would scare your ID's and then they would smash there heads and die.
 
Kirin, Kilin, bonsai, FH parrot, are all extremly parrot based Fh's. Usually Bonsai is used to describe an extremely short bodied Fh.
Im not sure where the line is drawn between the 2. The mouth structure?

If Bonsai is the same as Short body, Bonsai is not parrot based, It comes from inbreeding I think. Correct me if im wrong

Correct, bonsai has no parrot in them at all...
