White parrots

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm sorry guys. I haven't been back over to that store in a while. A lot going on. I should've just bought one and figured it out later. Hopefully if they're still there I'll get over this week and get a pic. I think however I also read that people have been labeling balloon body pink cons as white jellybean parrots. I may have to take a closer look.

That almost looks like a ballon body con. Cool fish.

Is this is the one you saw?

if yes, then it is called Bubble Gum Jelly Bean Parrot
and yes the best part is that a Couple can breed successfully, not like Blood Red Parrot.

This is a Jelly Bean Cichlid... Not parrot. They are short body convicts... That's why they can spawn. I had some white bp's... They will eventually turn yellow or orange. I wouldn't suggest buying them...
 
Some jelly beans are 100% convict, bred for short body

and some may be parrots crossed with pink convicts. I have come across this once (a white fish that looks more like a parrot but slightly like a pink con), but the sb pink cons seem to be more common, probably because they are all fertile.

However, if it is part parrot, it is important to note that these can easily fade, like a parrot.
I put some white parrot con crosses in with a bunch of orange blood parrots and they turned yellow within a day.

but its probably a pink convict, the parrot ones have more parrot shaped mouths
