More than 2 true parrots?

[jandb]

I wondered if there was any truth to more than 2 true parrots not coexisting together? I feel like I’ve read that before. I have a 12’, 540 with 2, 7” young adults and have 2 more 4-5” grow outs ready to introduce. None of them have shown any aggression so far. The tank is a medium/large SA community. What do you think?

It’s not true, I’ve seen plenty of videos of groups of them. Good chance in a 12ft tank

In a tank that size I'm sure they'll coexist. Most of the cichlid compatibility issues come down to stocking levels and tank size. My group was fine until they got to about 5 - 6" and then they started getting aggressive toward each other in a 6' tank so I made the decision to rehome all but one.

Cool. Thanks for the replies. I may rearrange some hardscape and get them in there.
