New Generation Parrot grow out thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
*********************** 08/29 Update ********************
I will share some photos tonight as they have kinda settled in the tank. The fry are currently in a 60 gallon and are being fed Grand Sumo, NLS sinking cichlomsa formula and grand Okisoa parrot food.

I have lost about 12 dozen of the fry due to fighting and eye picking. I have about 10 or so one eye or eyeless fry at the moment in a seperate tank and I'm not sure what to do with them. They are eating but I know in the long run they would not survive in a community. So I'm thinking a dedicating a tank to them and maybe stocking it with community fish and seeing what happens.

Dang, they are pretty, & I like the normal mouth too. but that damage seems quite aggressive for fry..

They are about 1 inches to 2 inches now and they are just evil ... lol ... no how many times I feed them they are attacking each other. Even after adding hiding spots.
 
I really like the colour of the one in the 4th pic. But for "parrots" I prefer the deformed head and mouth thing. These to me are still nice but look more like a midas fries face
