    Love these guys. Miss my guy. He was in a 215 with some Dambas. Loved how green they all looked together.

    wow ive never seen this parrot before. I had blood parrots when I was younger with a jack dempsey. They got along very well

      Nice! Yeah, the True Parrot hasn't been very common over the years, but is (hopefully) becoming more prevalent

    Just an idea : best American cichlids that stay at the top, middle, bottom of your fish tank (just because nobody else has done this)

    He’s a handsome fella....remember that some but not all hybrids of not only fish but other animals can still exist in nature with or without the help of humans....lovely severum too....just like that line from Jurassic Park “nature finds a way” 👍👍

    Can you keep a true Parrot in a 450liter tank? Together with other cichlids like 3 severums and Some geo’s and 2 blue Acara’s or is this a no go? 😇 thanks in advance! Great vid again!

    Hi how quickly did your true parrot grow? such a beautiful fish and tank. I have just ordered a true parrot at around 13cm and cannot wait. Any feeding recommendations would be appreciated.

    Do you know what their growth rate is please? I've had one for about 10 months now and only seemed to have grown 2.5-3" (been in a 180g since i bought him). He's fed on bloodworm,crickets, pellets, veggies etc.

    Would a true parrot do well with discus?

    • @CichlidBros
      @CichlidBros  3 года назад +1

      It might work, but I’d avoid it if you can. The higher temps discus need might be too much for the true parrot

      @mitch9946 3 года назад

      @@CichlidBros I've been keeping my discus at 80 degrees for almost a year now (I know that temp isnt recommended, but I've had success) and they've done great. Is 80 in your opinion too high for the parrot?

    Hey guys. I have a 5x2x2 tank with a Red Shoulder Severum and Chocate cichlid as well as some Pleco's. Do you think a True Parrot would fit long term or will i need a size upgrade down the line? Thanks guys
