    I have 2 OG bloods and they are a hoot! I can definitely see these getting more and more popular because they give you the colors and personality of larger American cichlids without the damage potential.

    • @ngantnier

      It'd be sweet if someone managed to breed them with Apistograma as they already are a hybrid of several genera of south american chichlids. Maybe drop them down to 2-3" and even more peaceful? I doubt they would breed naturally, but hybrids are usually produced by stripping eggs and molt rather than breeding naturally.

    Thank you for this video. I have a friend looking to rehome his 2 blood parrots. I have a tetra school, rainbow shark and a convict cichlid. This was very informative as to pros/ cons. After having convict cichlids (which originally impressed us bc of how interactive they are) we swore them off. But at least now i know it's an option to marry my community with his 2. Merry Christmas to you!

    • @TheAquaticCoder
      @TheAquaticCoder  2 года назад +2

      Thank you I appreciate that! As far as the all white parrots they are very similar to Polar Parrots. For those I use the following points to tell the difference. Keep in mind it is difficult until you have both a male + female in the same tank and can clearly see mating behavior.
      - Nuchal hump will indicate a male.
      - The female is smaller than the male, and the body of female is more "cichlid" than the male. The "parrot beak" is more obvious for the male.
      - If you have one of each gender then you will likely know after a few months as they pair up and breed very easily.

    The heart parrots are a tailless form like the meteor goldfish. Many species produce tailless forms but they are usually culled. The thai love breeding weird morphs though especially through artificial breeding. So we get weird stuff like that.

      When comparing them to goldfish, which have compacted organs, shortened, curved spines, and other features that limit their movement, ability to see, and live a quality life, they don't look that bad. Really, they're usually a hybrid product rather than being actively being bred to look a certain way. They can move quite well, tend to have an increased intelligence, and are lower in maintenance side of the aquarium. The mouth is small, but it proves advantageous with smaller tank companions and makes it so that smaller particles of food enter the stomach, instead of gigantic chunks. Unlike the goldfish, they can live a decent life and aren't broadly affected by the deformities. You can argue that they're typically hardy because of the mix of traits.
