Blood Parrots are Severum / Red Devil so I have heard, and should be orange

true parrots are natural, no pics but not a hybrid

I love that goofy face! My little sister love our big orange blood parrot! Some people like them, some people don't like them. But this is mostly common hybrid cichlid next to FH.

Green Severum and Red Devil...I believe this is one of of the original Blood Parrot crosses....

Blood parent parantage is only really speculated, but is though to be sev/rd. Personally think they look like a goldfish so i'm not a fan. Actually, blood parrots remind me of the fat kid off of Goonies.

Theres such thing as a real parrot cichlid that isnt a hybrid. These blood parrots though are man made.

I thought it was gold sev and red devil? that make the blood parrot

Theres more going on than just crossing a sev and RD. Blood Parrots are deformed and dont swim right either. So they are doing something else with them, plus I know they tattoo some of them

The REAL parrot cichlid is Hoplarchus pssitacus http://cichlidforum.com/profiles/species.php?id=518

the blood parrot is typically an orange color and origin is mixed rd/midas with some severums and other stuff
