King Kong parrots/ blood parrots

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i've got two parrots that eat feeders, it just takes them many try's to get them in there mouth. the feeders stay up top, and my fish's mouth r on the bottom..
 
can someone please upload pics of both king kong and regular blood parrot. I am having serious problem differentiating between them. thanks.
 
umm.. I added some baby mollies to my tank.. and they could not eat them but one blood parrot pinned the baby down with her head and let the other try and get at it.. I rescued the baby molly.. I thought the rule was as long as the baby was bigger then the large fish mouth it was ok.. I was wrong.. they are very creative. lol.

they will eat any cichlid pellet and treats. they eat like pigs. king kong parrots can usually close their mouths. they are fun fish to have and they have no problems eating, swimming, or eating from the surface. there are alot of falsehoods that are spread about them. bps can't eat any fish that they can't get completely in their mouths, so you have alot of options for tankmates.


I agree with u !
 
when they are small they look pretty sımılar.
ıf they have a complete mouth and grow larger and faster and then eventualy get a nuchal hump you know ıts a KK

The best way is to wait and see if it lays eggs haha. I like my BP they have alot of personality. I have personally seen a BP eat a good sized feeder. bichir's and BP's hunt well together interestingly enough . while not the biggest glass banging chichlid they get of good size and they are good tempered
