if youre planning to get blood parrots my opinion is dont. get something more exotic and better looking. blood parrots arent bad fish though. they have interesting behaviors like pushing each other around (theyre probably playing but i dont know). ive seen my parrots fight and its a blood bath. only they cant bite so its not really a bloodbath they end up pecking their mouths away. eventually they stop and become friends but after a long fight. very long fight. but thats rare. they work together to move little pebbles around the tank to make a pit and everyone sleeps in the same pit at dark and they come to you when they see you especially when you hold up food. cool fish but not the best looking.
I actually have a Blood Parrot,but i'm trying to get rid of it since it bullies my FH Blood parrots may be awesome fishes they're pretty agrssive towards other fishes and other blood parrots
