Last time I checked this was the CA/SA section.

Unless you claim to have a higher knowledge on Cichlids than Heiko Bleher then I'd like to inform you Blood Parrots are balloon variety's of the Central American Cichlid Amphilophus Labiatus (the Red Devil).

How does he know?

he introduced them into the trade.

This is also stated on many other sites, the 'hybrid with a Heros Efaciatus or Vieja Synspila' theory is very very dated.
