      That sounds awesome! A 55-gallon with three parrot fish must be a lively setup. They have such playful personalities-it’s so easy to get lost just watching them! Enjoy, and let me know if you ever want to share any updates on their setup! 😊🐟

    I love Parrot Cichlids! I have nine in a 180 gallon shared with clown loaches, tiger barbs and Dennison barbs. I’m trying to get their orange color to become more intense or more red. I’ve fed so many “color enhancing” pellet food brands without success. I prefer sinking pellets to keep the parrots from ingesting air as they eat from the surface. My next to try is Omega One Super Color pellets. In the meantime I’m enjoying watching their fun personalities.
    Great video content and clever channel name. Keep up the good work, sir! 👍 Looking forward to more videos.

      That’s quite a bit of room for them. I know they love all of that space. I’ve been able to use cichlid gold by Hikari to keep their color and enhance their color. But you’re right each one has their own personality and they really do love each other. Thanks so much for the encouragement. Come back and see us to watch more videos. ✌🏾

      Great question! Parrot cichlids are active swimmers and can grow quite large, so a 75-gallon tank like mine is a great size for them. If you’re keeping multiple parrot cichlids, this size gives them plenty of space to establish territories and reduce aggression. For a single parrot cichlid, a minimum of 30 gallons is recommended, but bigger is always better to keep them happy and healthy!

    Hi Sir! I have 3.5*1.5*1.5 feet tank around 200Litre water capacity. How many parrot fish can I add this tank? Kindly response sir!!!!

    • @GrowingUpFish
      @GrowingUpFish  2 месяца назад

      For a 200-liter (around 53-gallon) tank, I’d recommend keeping 3-4 parrot fish to ensure they have enough space to swim and grow comfortably. Keep in mind that these fish can get quite large, so maintaining good water quality and providing hiding spots is important. Let me know if you have any other questions!

      @@EzhilNilavan-b6r Great question! For a 53-gallon tank with parrot fish, you'll want an internal filter that provides good flow and excellent mechanical and biological filtration. Look for something rated for at least 60-75 gallons to ensure proper filtration. Brands like Fluval, AquaClear, or Eheim have some reliable options. Just make sure the filter is suitable for the size and needs of your fish. If you have any specific brands in mind or other requirements, let me know, and I can help narrow it down!
