new flowerhorn parrot

[hooliganATV]

i dont really know much about these, i was in the market for something to go in a cichlid community after I rescaped my jack Dempsey tank to add some colour and life to it. they were advertised as flowerhorn parrots so not sure what it will grow too be like

so i went to he LFS to see what they had, i had a credit note from a recent Dovii deposit and seen these guys and figured they were standing up to each other pretty well in the tank so got one to go in there.

more fish to follow, but he seems happy in there and no aggression from the JD at the moment.





tank mates



and the tank, got some oak leaf to go in and some green bits

It looks like a regular blood parrot to me. Also what size tank is that, how big is the Jd and how big is the blood parrot?

the LFS is known for getting labels wrong or just dont know what they talking about so if its a normal blood parrot im happy its looks cool.

parrot is 3" Jd 5" tank is 80g.

Should work but I'd watch out for the Jack trying to bully the Parrot to death

thanks mate ill be monitoring if its dosnt work ill move the parrot to my electric blue JD and BGK tank, the parrot is around the same size as the EBJD but like to leave him alone because he seems to be blind or has poor vision.
