Went to a new Pet Store today, that I never knew existed.
I found this 8" girl :D

Just curious, what would you pay for an 8" KKP?
I'll tell you what I paid after a few answers!

regular small parrots were i live are 25 so i would say 50 would be a reasonable price good pick up. Glad you found what you wanted i saw your other post about asking if the little one you had was a kkp or not.
 
Thanks :) I am glad I found her!
Regular BP's are around $30 for 3-4" at Petsmart.
On Aquabid KKP's at that size are $60.
KKP's are more expensive.
I paid under $100 for mine, but over $30!
 
What if I told you this wasn't a king kong parrot and just a big regular parrot lol
 
The guy that owns this fish store and labeled him used to work for a fish vendor and seems to know his fish. Although, this fish was not ordered from the vendor and they received it with a trade in.

What distinctions lead you to believe this is a common Blood Parrot and not a KK Parrot?

P.S. She's WAY MORE orange now. Should post better pics now that she's not like white! :D

massive beak, v mouth, toomuch mutation to be a KK parrot
has some alright fins tho
 
I did not think regular BP's got as big as her. Especially with her being female. My other BP is female aswell, and is only 3"-3 1/2" and she is 8 months old. Plus KKP's mouth turn into Regular BP's mouths when large, right? (upside down triangle) I have read that and I believe someone on here told me that, too.
 
i have two kkps
one of them can close his mouth and has red eyes
the other cant close it mouth but has flowerhorn body shape(kinda)
there both super red
