:naughty:HI, I borrowed a camera today so I thought I'd share some of the pics.
Its in the hybrid section because they are pictures of my hybrid area, which is full of various expressions of the genotype of the midas cichlid and syspillum (in other words... BLOOD PARROT CROSSES!)

here is the big tank... it's one of those plant aquariums from petsmart, I found it by the dumpster (SCORE! with all the pumps inside nonetheless)

In the middle tank you can clearly see King Midas, my dominant male midasish midevil.

on the other side, we have big red parrot

This tank has many parrots in it including

ying, who I love showing pics of (he's my best "parrot")
is in the lowest tank with his girlfriend, queen elizabeth (orange parrot)

Also, going in there soon, will be these babies

all will be yellow parrots I believe, we have one fading right now, and all were graded for shape. Only a few have a very pronounced notch.
I have over 14 of these fish that I'm going to grow out, let me know if you want any.
The one in the picture is (slightly) representative of their shape. I got all the ones that will be SB red devils in future :D:naughty::headbang2

And for the fun of it here are some more

(for good measure)

Thank you for letting me waste your time

:screwy:
 
wow nice setup lol I like the art on your wall by the way, did you paint it?
 
I have 8 parrots and 2 of parent species(middevil)
plus george if you can count him, he's vieja but not synspillum, I have him because he was the first last and only vieja I could find in OK.

And then I have at least 13 (I havent counted, only estimated, somewhere between 10 and 20) baby parrots at least the size of a nickel.

so at the most conservative estimate i have 21 parrotish cichlids
in my house at the moment.

my battle comment was to be taken with a grain of aquarium salt and even taking into account that I have more parrot cichlids than you do, I still say it is up for grabs which one of us is crazier about them. They are just readily available in my area and I happen to be fascinated by hybrid genetics.

I'll consider this a draw : P
 
And cohazard thank you, but I don't put my own paintings on my walls.
Going from left to right those are
1. Jimi hendrix poster - axis cover i think
2. Painting that my brothers friend did on adderall (its really cool)
3. jimi hendrix poster of him sitting on a motorcycle
