It was sold to me as a "King Mammon", but looks like a King Kong Parrot or is it a regular BP? It's about 6-7 inches. I got it really cheap, it looked pretty cool, so I couldn't turn it down.

That's a king Kong parrot. Nice looking fish. A king mammon would be deeper red, longer body and less parrot head...looking more Veja than parrot. A KK parrot looks more parrot than Veja like yours. It's not a regular blood parrot because it's head isn't notched and has a working mouth. A king mammon looks like a blaze orange veja. As if you took a synspilum and dipped it in hunter orange paint.

Yeah, it didn't look like any of the Mammons I've seen online. I'm still learning about all the different hybrids. Just thought I'd make sure. Anyway it's pretty cool. I got it for $8. Lol

A red mammon a real one you're looking at 200-400$ minimum with Certificate of Authenticity.

Nice fish though.
