I have a 16 year old blood parrot and he’s by far my favorite fish. He has the most personality of any fish I’ve ever had. He will eat from my hand and he can recognize people too (some he hates and some he likes). They are super smart too. Awesome awesome fish. ❤️
My electric blue acara is the same when I walk up the stairs she jumps up and down out the water even and I put my hand on the tank and she stops and knows I’m gonna feed her
Hey! I got my 2 yellow blood parrots 3 days back and they refuse to come out. They are hiding behind the filter. Also, one of them seems to be pretty agressive towards another.. Can you suggest something to calm/comfort them in the tank? (there is no other fish in the tank)
I got my blood parrot from pet smart over 12 years ago, and he is by far the coolest and most personal fish I have ever been around! I’ve kept him in a 55 by himself most of his life as he will destroy anything I put in there 😂
Our 2 blood parrots our our favorite fish in our room! We love them! Packed with personality.At first I didnt like how they looked but they grew on me quickly!
I don’t understand the hybrid hate. We been doing it for years with plants and crops and dogs. Golden doodle. Laberdoodle all kinds no hate with any of that.
I had a blood parrot pair I got in high school, lived until I graduated college ( 8 years! ). It’s been a while since they passed but they had the best personality of any fish I have ever had. I have another pair now and am still as in love with them as I was then. I have flowerhorns but their aggression is so high I am having a hard time enjoying them.
I love the Blood Parrots, had a few in the past and currently have four of them with two Electric Blue Jack Dempsey, two Firemouth, and a Salvini Yellow Belly, all juveniles. Love your videos Chris, good job.
I like them but they fight alot. I moved one to my small pond, fought like crazy (Many hiding spots), seperated them but weaker one died due to.. stress, injury.. SAD STUFF
My nephew just have me a pair of these beautiful orange fish... They're smart as an Oscar... I only have two in a 40 gallon in my bathroom and they're just darling... The orange 🍊 color is so happy to me... Like a beautiful sunrise and sunset... My fishes names...lol They look like salt water fish.. They get along beautifully... No problems. They're perfect fish. Just darling 💖 I love my lil fish people.
So true love the mixture.. I've got one blue one 2 blood red ones 4 yellow ones and a red and black one.. Kept with sevrums angels and geophagus a jack Dempsey and cynadontis all been together for over 4 years and I love em..
I LOVE my blood parrots so much! They are by far the coolest fish we have. So cute😊 They love to interact with us and the kids absolutely love them. We've got 2 blood parrots and a little baby flowerhorn in our 75 gallon cichlid tank and they all get along really well. There's also an ob peacock in there, a regular peacock, 2 electric yellow, and a Chinese algae eater. They're all pretty little still, but as they get bigger we are probably going to have to upgrade to a bigger tank. But they all get along really well and have been together for months. The only aggression we've really seen is from the Chinese algae eater. He's definitely the most aggressive/territorial fish in the tank, and he's smaller than some of the others. He's never hurt anything, but we may need to find him a new home when he gets bigger because I can see him becoming a real problem.
Your right about the mixed cichlid tanks, I have a 55 gal South American cichlid tank that's a community tank that I house, 2 jaguars, 2 red tiger motos, 3 JD's 2 normal 1 EB, 2 thai electric blue texas, a Oscar, Pike Cichlid and a Firemouth. Talk about a overcrowded tank, i'm a master and it has been working for me 100% of the time. only had 1 death from fighting and it was my 3rd Jag that got its gill bit and torn in two. been like this for almost a year and the fish are staying strong. i'd love to send you a video of it sometime when I get a chance, you probably would appreciate it.
I saw a blood parrot play in the power head current and remove sand from his cave seconds after the guy refilled the sand...I loved it. Fun creatures. I was hoping to get them but i have a planted tank :(
are blood red parrots compatible w/ tiger parrots ? I am not sure & I dont want to make a mistake ..I have a 75 gallon long ,,w/ 4 RBPs in there and mini tetra ..thanks
LOVE I will share this video with everyone! I keep my male blood parrot with a female convict cichlid in a 55 gal and they just adore each other! They were tank mates at petco and have been together ever since ❤ it breaks my heart when they try to mate though 😂 since the males are sterile
Mules are also hybrids and humans have been using them for hundreds of years. They are extremely healthy, hardy and intelligent. To this day they do important work around the world and nobody would think they shouldn't exist just because they are hybrids.
I absolutely love this tank! It’s exactly what I want to do but mine has to be 75 gallon. What types and how many of each would you recommend? I have good filtration. Thanks! Btw your little girl is adorable! 😊
I don't like flowerhorns but I love red devils, green terrors and basically all the nachals. Can I find out would red devils, oscars and parrots go together? Would the aggression go down if I get them all small?
I have one blood parrot in my 125 with Jack Dempsey an Oscar a green terror a red devil 4 black convicts and a Quetzal Cichlid and he is a cool fish. It is huge too and not as ugly as all these other ones
Help help!!! My parrot fish got stuck in a decor in tank.. my husband had to help him get out cuz he was to big... he looks ok but acting different.. staying at top.. is he stress or will I lose him
I have a question. Can I keep clown loaches with blood parrots? I am setting up a new tank and I have 2 1-year old clown loaches that I transferred from a previous tank. Knowing that blood parrots have some kind of personality, I am afraid it might be aggressive towards the clown loaches. Your response will be a hug help. Thank you so much!
So after 2 years of posting this video, how has your tank done? Have any of the smaller fish get eaten or died from being bullied? 2 years is a good time frame to see if what you have worked! Please let us know your 2 year update on this tank!! Love your videos!!
I don't mind hybrids, but the one blood parrot I had had the worst personality of any fish I've ever owned. Literally all it did was hide all day every day. It would dart and destroy the tank if you so much as walked across the room ten feet away.... And the tank was very well set up and maintained with hiding places and plants.
So what type of cichlids are the yellow ones? Severums? How do they compare in care and temperament? Also, there is a difference between a parrot and a blood parrot? Thanks.
Wow I really love that tank that bichir is awesome.and what are thoses yellow sevrums? Like lemon or just yellow? Also that friendly jd. Man love this tank brother.
I have 2 blood parrots and another that i just got for free, and the owners didnt know what it was, i think it that might be king kong parrot but to small to tell. I have a male n female Srd flower horns, female Cuban, a male n female awesome looking Louisellei, a green terror, 1 electric blue acara, 2 Dinosaur Birchirs which i really like. They are not all in the same tanks. I have 2 x 6 foot 130 gallons and upgrading to a 300 to 500 gallon when i buy a house.
Help I want to add South American cichlids to my tank but I don't know what ones to add. I have the following Female green terror Starry night cichlid 3 balas Senegal bichir EBA Super red pleco Fire mouth EBJD Texas x firemouth cross 2 convicts Veija w. Wanted a tiger Oscar but I'm afraid adding it would be too full for my 120L. Any ideas as to what I could add to this? Love adding colorful options.
My blood parrot has all this black gunk on him and I don’t know what to do! Can someone please help? He was getting picked on terribly the last week in our care so we moved him to his own tank where he’s the only fish right now and he seems so happy but looks like he just has all this black sludge all over him. Water quality is great, no other fish have this on them. We just got this fish not too long ago. I will do whatever it takes to help him. Thank you!
What’s up Chris I know this is a late comment but I just wanted to say I don’t think they’re are anything wrong with (hybrid fish) after all that’s how we have so many dog breeds 🤔 never had a blood parrot before but I am thinking of getting one. Have a good day bro
Hi Palmer I have a question do you think I can get a oscar,jack dempsey,red devil,and convicts can workout for me I will get them all at around 2 inches please answer
I'm really liking them but I only have one tank and at the moment I have only 30 neon tetras because I like schooling fish. Can I keep 3 of this on my 75 with the neon and possibly some other slightly larger fish in it?
Hey chris love the videos had a question i bought a purple rose queen from a lfs thinking it was a parrot fish can i keep it with parrots ? Or will it eventually get way to aggressive for them?
I love this blood parrots I have two of them in my 55 gallon tank with four silver dollars and ten tiger barbs my goodness I have to do a water change every three days Ugghhhh do i have to many fish
Hey man, would love to see you doing a video on different kinds of Piranhas. We have tons of fishes and can contribute to you some. Admins from your Facebook group Betta fish keepers are also there in our Facebook group - Piranha India. We are one of the biggest piranha groups in Facebook. Keep doing the awesome stuffs!
I like parrot fish but don't like them when they have the triangle mouth so when I pick some up I always try and find king kong parrot fish or red mammon cichlids they can 99% of the time close there mouth. Loads available in uk
I love them!! I have 2 blood parrots and I think they hate each other :( seems if I keep two together they fight but both are fine alone . Please help should I add another? (55 gallon tank)
I wonder if the hybrid resistant movement realizes that hybridization is a natural thing. Nature does it constantly without asking for permission. "It's not natural" is a somewhat blunt argument. There are many things that are "natural" that we try to fight. Covid, for instance. Cancer etc. I don't care much for dogs that have a difficulty breathing "It's so cute - he's snoring" It's not cute, he's trying to breath. As far as I can see parrot cichlids are over all healthy with the exception of their mouths - and they seem to eat just fine given the right food.
I mean yeah the Cichlids are nice and everything but your tank is kinda overstocked , personally i feel like they need a little more space. Love the blood -red parrot cichlid
I literally have the most aggressive bloodparrot that's ever been, he attacks any other fish I've ever put him with including a goldfish that was easily 2x bigger and another blood parrot. Idk what to do with him and he claims the entire tank as his territory so know I put him in my spare 5 gallon octagon tank of shame
Never really understood blood parrot's personality, they exhibit really weird and new traits everytime, plus you never know when your parrot might surprise you.
i hate the flower horn cichlid hybrid.idk how ppl think it looks good. a fish with a huge bubble or baloon on top of there head is ugly. very stupid manmade hybrid. ive seen some with such a big baloon on there head, the poor fish was struggling so hard too swim upright straightband turn around. i jus really dont like them. now the red parrot looks ok. but the ones that look like a ceverum body with an accari head. jus looks like a clone. but the ones tht look more uniform i can see they look decent.its really jus the flower horn bothers me.
Spectrum Brands, Inc. needs to genetically modify parrot cichlids by injecting jellyfish gene into their eggs to produce a red, blue, purple, green, hot pink, or yellow glowing fluorescent parrots fish. I hope the next glofish will be a parrot cichlid.
Hybridization should be praised cause it allows for different colors like I don’t like the blood parrots cause of the face and mouth which is so weird but a yuan bao or King Kong parrot are soo much nicer but all the same fish.
Yep I’m one of them purists who can’t stand them. Keeping all these disfigured fish may become a trend but only amongst a certain group of hobbyists. I main complaint is this, I disagree with hybrids like blood parrots and flowerhorn is because flowerhorn are super prone to many health problems not seen in this magnitude in natural species. My issue with parrots is the same issue I have with people who breed British bulldogs, they are bread to a point that they can no longer do the things fish would normally do due to mans obsession with vanity. Some b.p are super aggressive, start battles they aren’t equipped to deal with and can’t even reproduce (males) not to mention, don’t beat up on petco killing Bettas when the cull rate for hybrid breeding standards is about 95%. For your one blood parrot or flowerhorn nearly 100 other fish died for you to have one super deformed fish. I wish people appreciated the natural species of cichlids and instead of all that money going to hybrids it would be better spent on conservation of natural species before we lose them. Haitiensis are all but extinct. There’s been no recorded collections since the early 2000’s yet rather than save them let invent a red nasty?? People want what they want I get that. And people will always try and mess with nature. That’s fine but you won’t convince me I’m the strange one for not wanting one. Same as people won’t convince me there’s more genders in humans than male or female. I get people being born in the wrong sex bodies but then even then it would make you the opposite sex, not a bloody unicorn or helicopter. I’m so surprised nowadays that being a weirdo is cool.

I have one blood parrot that's nice and one that is literally satan and wants to kill and conquer everything
I got my blood parrot from pet smart over 12 years ago, and he is by far the coolest and most personal fish I have ever been around! I’ve kept him in a 55 by himself most of his life as he will destroy anything I put in there 😂
How big is he?
DD Aquatics around 8 inches
i have a 125g with 4 parrots, feather fin, guoramis and giant danios. I love them. They are bright and beautiful and so full of personality.
Your kid is really cutesy.💕💕😍😍🥰🥰

I don’t understand the hybrid hate. We been doing it for years with plants and crops and dogs. Golden doodle. Laberdoodle all kinds no hate with any of that.
They are hated by people who are sensible enough to understand that every animal deserves to live a quality life. Hybrids often suffer genetic defects
Amazing video! My favorite tank you’ve shown so far!

Do you only use sponge filter in your tank, is it effective? And how you control the aggresion of your parrot fish ?
My jack dempseys turned all dark all the time. Is that natural or environmental? Stress.
Parrot fish are my favourite fish
you did not mention tank size required
What's that black severum looking fish with the gold eyes?
Help I want to add South American cichlids to my tank but I don't know what ones to add. I have the following

Fire mouth
EBJD
Texas x firemouth cross
2 convicts
Veija w.
Wanted a tiger Oscar but I'm afraid adding it would be too full for my 120L.
Any ideas as to what I could add to this? Love adding colorful options.

Hi Palmer I have a question do you think I can get a oscar,jack dempsey,red devil,and convicts can workout for me I will get them all at around 2 inches please answer
I love parrots. But I cant keep em yet. Not big enough tank
I'm really liking them but I only have one tank and at the moment I have only 30 neon tetras because I like schooling fish. Can I keep 3 of this on my 75 with the neon and possibly some other slightly larger fish in it?
what are the yellows .. ?
Hey chris love the videos had a question i bought a purple rose queen from a lfs thinking it was a parrot fish can i keep it with parrots ? Or will it eventually get way to aggressive for them?
I would think it would be fine. They do get big eventually though
Bro can u plz suggest me which is the best food for red devil cichlid fish......?? For its color and head growth.....
I noticed that a lot of them had scars on them and scales missing maybe take the most aggressive to another tank possibly just an idea
I love this blood parrots I have two of them in my 55 gallon tank with four silver dollars and ten tiger barbs my goodness I have to do a water change every three days Ugghhhh do i have to many fish
Hey man, would love to see you doing a video on different kinds of Piranhas. We have tons of fishes and can contribute to you some. Admins from your Facebook group Betta fish keepers are also there in our Facebook group - Piranha India. We are one of the biggest piranha groups in Facebook.
Keep doing the awesome stuffs!
Do you think they will eat smaller fish?
Sorry I'm late but 0:40 CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE ZOOMY BOY?????
Could i keep one in a 36 gallon tank?
Can you breed the blood parrot with the flower horn please?
My blood parrot hates me but my lfs gets in calico and yellow and orange blood parrots so I’m getting more
I like parrot fish but don't like them when they have the triangle mouth so when I pick some up I always try and find king kong parrot fish or red mammon cichlids they can 99% of the time close there mouth. Loads available in uk
I love them!! I have 2 blood parrots and I think they hate each other :( seems if I keep two together they fight but both are fine alone . Please help should I add another? (55 gallon tank)
Should get a axoloti if you like cool fish they are awesome fish / salamanders
Nice content as always.. May i ask sir, At what age do green terrors start to color up? Do junelives GT really show up like washed out?
Dark colored sand or gravel plays a huge part in them coloring up too. They are slow growers! Maybe a year until they start coloring up
Im transitioning from live bearers to cichlids. If ive known from the beginning that cichlids are better i would have skipped owning live bearers
I had mine for about 6 months and it still at 3 inches
All my fish get along and I have about the same fish as this tank
I love mine
I got a problem,i have 7 small piranhas in a 60 Gallon aquarium but they are eating eachother ,what should i do
put live feeders in tank. Hopefully that'll will distract them
Feed them better. Use cut up raw tilapia. You could also add other fish like buck tooth tetra.
Ok
Can a blood parrot live alone?
It is not healthy to keep them alone, keep them in pair maybe
I wonder if the hybrid resistant movement realizes that hybridization is a natural thing. Nature does it constantly without asking for permission. "It's not natural" is a somewhat blunt argument.

Never really understood blood parrot's personality, they exhibit really weird and new traits everytime, plus you never know when your parrot might surprise you.
Pretty much have the same fish in my tank plus my big ol' Oscar
The only agressive fish are my JD's but they aren't even that bad
0:15 the little swimming intro.
Why is my blood parrot are always hide,,,i've keep 3weeks ago
How's your parrot right now?? Same as mine. Always hiding.
i hate the flower horn cichlid hybrid.idk how ppl think it looks good. a fish with a huge bubble or baloon on top of there head is ugly. very stupid manmade hybrid. ive seen some with such a big baloon on there head, the poor fish was struggling so hard too swim upright straightband turn around. i jus really dont like them. now the red parrot looks ok. but the ones that look like a ceverum body with an accari head. jus looks like a clone. but the ones tht look more uniform i can see they look decent.its really jus the flower horn bothers me.
The nuchal hump is not a manmade trait.it mainly comes from the red devil.
That’s all I ever do is move fish around!!
I cant tell you how much I hate blood parrots. Mine does nothing but terrorize his severum tank makes.
Aye man if it works it works 😂😂
I want one.
Hating blood parrots is the same as hating dogs because they’re hybrids that come from wolves.
Spectrum Brands, Inc. needs to genetically modify parrot cichlids by injecting jellyfish gene into their eggs to produce a red, blue, purple, green, hot pink, or yellow glowing fluorescent parrots fish. I hope the next glofish will be a parrot cichlid.
the bps arent geekin tho

Some b.p are super aggressive, start battles they aren’t equipped to deal with and can’t even reproduce (males) not to mention, don’t beat up on petco killing Bettas when the cull rate for hybrid breeding standards is about 95%. For your one blood parrot or flowerhorn nearly 100 other fish died for you to have one super deformed fish. I wish people appreciated the natural species of cichlids and instead of all that money going to hybrids it would be better spent on conservation of natural species before we lose them. Haitiensis are all but extinct. There’s been no recorded collections since the early 2000’s yet rather than save them let invent a red nasty?? People want what they want I get that. And people will always try and mess with nature. That’s fine but you won’t convince me I’m the strange one for not wanting one. Same as people won’t convince me there’s more genders in humans than male or female. I get people being born in the wrong sex bodies but then even then it would make you the opposite sex, not a bloody unicorn or helicopter. I’m so surprised nowadays that being a weirdo is cool.
I don't know about the last part but I agree with your fish analogy, people are least concerned about the health of this beautiful animal
