Hi,
I usually use the arowana forum, but I added this tankmate and it's getting ugly. It's an orange parrot fish, 4" or so. I know nothing about parrots. My aro finally is allowing a tankmate cause he can't eat it. This parrot devil thing is so mean towards me. He relentlessly bites and strikes at me when I try to work in the tank. I even swatted him, didn't slow him down.

All I know is he's a hybid, so can anyone help me out? I'm about to take him back to the pet store. What do you all know or suggest about the parrots?
 
They're mean, and they are a cross between agold sevrum and a red devil. Does it hurt when he bites you? Does he attack the arowana? These are the questions of my mind.
 
They can't close thier mouths so it can't hurt when he bites you. I have never seen a mean parrot. The one I had was pretty calm. Can we see some pics? It could be possible that you have a King Kong and those are the mean ones.

I can feel a nip, it doesn't hurt but he's only about 4-5" long and chunky. He's charging, bullying, he nipped he constatnly then entire time, didn't break skin. He does about the same to my aro. I should probably not add stress to an arowana's life, they're quite a wild ride!!!

You can get it the he&#&* out of my tank. He's pretty, but stupid. I;m afraid my arowana is going to unleash any sec. Where in the usa are you, seriously I am going to find him a home or take him back. He was only $22. I'm in wa, in the north cascades.
 
Maybe your aro is teaching him things while you're not around. Pretty soon you're going to be headbutting the parrot too!

It would be more like bobbing for attack apples!!!!! and I have to clean my tank, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
Make sure it doesn't add trouble to the aro's life...if it does, it's not worth it. They're unnatural anyway, I would sell it on MFK!!! lol
