I have a male and a female. Blubby and Blobbie. I put some food on my finger and Blubby jumps up and takes some food and gives it to his wife Blobbie. They are adorable
I was watching a video about goldfish by one of those scienceinsider channels. A few million views on that video. And they showed blood parrots in some scenes thinking they are goldfish hahahaha
Mine is so needy. Lol wants my attention constantly. When, I can't always be around he's turning pale. Depressed maybe. When I give him cuddles with my hands he brightens in color. I love them.
My blood parrot comes to the surface to greet me. He’ll watch me play video games, he’ll dance when I play guitar, and he plays with the magnetic tank cleaner. He’s the best fish ever
@@OKshesagail yeah I have just one. He does great in his own, but that’s partly because I give him a lot of personal care and attention. Blood parrot chichlids can do well on their own or with others, but make sure you buy them at the same time from the same tank.
@@OKshesagail careful getting another 1, i have 2 on my 20 gallon, and i always end up putting the bully on the bucket or a plastic box of 20 gal, my blood parrot is healing alone in the aquarium rn, its going to take 3 weeks so far its already 1 week and the fins are growing back again. Cant afford a bigger tank
Alright alright you talked me into it lol. Just picked up my two juvenile blood parrots, Dale and Brennan, a little over a month ago. They are quite entertaining to watch, I cant wait until their personalities develop further!
Just so you know as babies their tail was cut off along with their skin with a pair of scissors and no pain killers but other than that they are cool I guess
They definitely watchin u bro lol , they watch me while I’m watching tv then when I get close to the tank they swim towards me wagging their back fin as if there were puppies wagging their tails
Ephraim Campos I do have a baby convict and the blood parrot it’s still a baby and I did not know if it was just the blood parrot getting used to his new tank or what
I had one and it lived on its own. it was a lovely fish and incredibly friendly. It used to be constantly keeping a eye on me. I recommend them as a pet that will acquire a little personality the longer you own
I watched a video of a blood parrot that was absolutely in love playing with the owners hand. It would even let itself get grabbed and get finger massages. So cute!
I’ve been considering these guys for awhile. Ever since I got into the hobby my little brother has been begging for me to get one of the “smiley face fish”. Thanks for the informative video about these guys! Seems like one might actually be a good fit for my planted community!
i LOVEEEEE blood parrots! my grandparents had 4 of them in a big tank in their office and I've been obsessed with them for over a decade. they're definitely my favorite type of aquarium fish. nowadays only one has survived and they got them a new tankmate. that parrot must be over 15 years old at this point. ugh. such cute fish
My first fish was a blood parrot and he lived for 11 years I remembered crying like for 2 days when he died as he was like a friend to me as he always played with my hand and the fact that he was with me for 11 years 🙁I truly recommend this guys but the only downside is that you will be very sad when they die because of their personality and the bond you have created with them.
Its so awesome your blood parrot played with your hand. Gamora is always scared of mine. Im sure your blood parrot lived a good life! 11 years is a testimony to the care it received
11 years thats great you have must been taken good care of the guy. Their personality is so awesome man some of them are shy but others are way more warmer. I also have 4 of them ^_^
Wow nice! I always see baby blood parrots at fish shops and love to play with them.. Love interacting with them to the point that I actually wanted to get a couple. Did NOT know they get so big. Looks like I will make this a goal once I have room for a 100 gal. You also gave me good ideas for stocking and planting. Video is going in my likes and favorites for future reference. Awesome!
The heart versions, as well as the tattoed ones always make me cringe. Ive never been a fan of Parrots but I can appreciate their interactions with their owners.
I've been keeping all sorts of fish since I was in kindergarten and I couldn't agree more with you on the fact that blood parrot's characters make them so likeable, it's like having a pet dog in your aquarium.
I've been thinking about adding some Blood Parrots to my 125 gallon tank for about a couple months. You just convinced me!!!!!!! Thanks for a great video!!!!
@@destriataylor5420 Heehee!!!! That was 2 years ago and I have 5 now!! I love them!! Even my husband (who knows NOTHNIG about fish!!) enjoys them. Who wouldn't??? They are fabulous fish!!! They get along with all of my other fish. They don't bully, but they stand up for themselves.
I have two blood parrots. One with blue eyes and the other gold. They are so much fun! My larger of the two has taken over a Cichlid cave and stands guard 24/7. The other could care less if he/she has a cave or not. Their personalities are so different. I have them in a tank with Angels, Silver dollar, Killies and a Sailfin Pleco. They all do well together. I find them to be very interactive and smart!
You nailed it with smart. I've had dogs harder to train than mine. He got aggressive during feeding a while back. Got the net out and did a little chasing of my own. He pouted for a day. Hasn't chased another fish since and is back to being my buddy. Seems to make the rest of my fish more comfortable with me too since he's not skittish or shy at all.
I work at a grocery store that sells fish and we have a blood parrot with black marks in the shape of a smile. Its the cutest damn thing and i cant wait to move so i can get a huge tank and save him from the crowded tank hes in now
Such incredible fish. My cichlid is very smart. I see him actively trying to figure out what I want from him when I teach new tricks. My favorite fish I have ever kept. Easily with the most personality I have kept.
I own 4 of these fellas and I can tell they have different personalities they sure get jealous when a new a fish enters the tank, but in a few minutes they calm down they are sweethearts when eating or playing.
I had a blood red parrot fish when I was younger and I fell in love with it. I didn't know much about them but that didn't matter to me at the time. I recently purchased a polar parrot fish who i have with a retail shark. They get along quite well so far.
The things i love about them Personality - yes each of them have different personalities and react different on other situations, and yes they do have a mind of there own Interactive - very interactive on other fishes, tanks, plants or onto you Color - they change color over time, either growing up, showing if there healthy, stress, exhausted, happy or sleepy They lay on there sides when they sleep too, others say that theyre not doing well, sometimes blood parrots can sleep like that They stare at you - its kinda creepy but cute as well, sometimes if ur not aware and just sitting infront of the tank you will notice they will watch
depends, the dye 'wears' off and I strongly recommend not getting a dyed one. If you want a green one they have cross breeds that have a green body with black speckles around the fines - beautiful fish, without the risk of diseases.
i have 6 in a 125g. Love them. I was really surprised to see them with the red eared slider! Wow. I never really liked tiger barbs cuz they are mean, LOL..But with blood parrots, that looks really awesome. Gave me something to think about, thank you.
They're such a great tank mate for the red eared slider because they are very aware and defend themselves but yet cannot hurt the turtle. Dont forget the clown loaches for the full combo
Flowerhorn vid will be the one after next but the next video will definitely be related to and have lots of flowerhorns and kamfas in it! As for convict cichlids, i find they are the most aggressive as far as aggression to size ratio. And powerful for their size. But if we dont account for their dwarfed stature, many fish will overpower them (but they will still hold their own most of the time)
I’ve been keeping fancy goldfish for awhile now and have wanted to expand my aquarium portfolio. Blood parrots and parrot cichlids in general caught my eye (because they looked like weird goldfish to me at first lol) and after watching this, wow! They remind me so much of goldies. Both are personable and beautifully colored. I hope to get some of these once I get a new tank :)
I love the look of the yellow tigers but if I go for parrots in the end, I would really like a few King Kongs, surely they must be the pinnacle of parrot keeping!
I have one blood parrot Buford, he is in a tank with 9 polar blue parrots an angle, 2 electric blue rams, 9 harlequin roseboras and many assorted algae eaters and plecos. He is the most friendly and comical fish I own , he has a huge crush on my wife lol. I have just set up a 65 gal and a friend has 2 BPs he wants to get rid of so I think they have found a new home...Absolutely love these guys Patrick
We have one, it quickly became the kids' favourite fish and they named it Blubbi. Blubbi will spend alot of time watching us, especially when we are having dinner, she will just hang out and hope for attention. The kids will play peeekaboo with her and run from one side of the tank to the other and Blubbi follows😅 always with that goofy smile. The kids had their own fishtank with small community fish for a while, but they lost interest. Blubbi is much more fun for them, with her personality and interest in engaging with us. And its nice to know that we can keep Blubbi as a pet for many years to come❤
I love love love my blood parrots. They have the best personalities and always make me smile. They are even the peacemakers between my kissing gromies. ❤️
I love my parrot! Rank up there with Oscars as far as personality. Makes a great community fish. Mine goes well with my angels, severum, and blue acara. I'd highly recommend getting one. Good video..he nailed it.
I love my King Kong Blood Parrot. It’s so cute at first when we got it it was so shy, it was hiding behind a rock, in the store tank. And every few seconds it would pop it’s head out and look at me, then hide again. I fell in love!!! Now at home it comes to the front of the tank when it sees me I love it so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We got one from our step father and the blood parrot ALWAYS stares and follows everyone whenever someone passes by the tank. My sister doesn't like him for it because she doesn't like being stared at lol
Oh no! Unless precocious is smaller! I had a pleco that grew to over a foot long, he was too big for my 40 gallon tank and became aggressive. He killed one of my blood parrots by sucking a gill out! It was horrible to wake up to that. I took the pleco into a large fish specialty store so they could sell him to someone with a larger tank.
@@SGBeardedAquarist what kind of turtle is that? I have a painted turtle in a 20 gallon tank that was found as a tiny baby a couple months ago. He's now about 3 inches long. What do you recommend for a filter for that? I have to change out the hob weekly on his tank because it gets nasty.
They will. Poor water quality and wound infection are the two main problems that they get smacked hard by. Ich is also a problem for younger fish being brought in straight from wholesale. I see a lot of blood parrots it’s ich.
@@SGBeardedAquarist can't wait I'm currently looking for a centerpiece fish for a 180 gallon with mollies, platys, tetras, rosy barbs, gouramis and a rainbow shark
Haha i know the feeling bro,, Go with Blood parrots as youre center piece fish. They are awesome and so Colorfull.. you won't regret lt. I have 4 of them in my CommunityFishTank they are awesome.
Convicts are cool but make sure all male or so female a breeding pair is a pita. Wish I had listened before when people warned me. There biggest problem being that no matter what you will be overrun by fry because convicts are great parents and extremely aggressive so fry loss is unlikely no matter what other fish is in the tank. I had a pair that destroyed a pleco almost killed a red devil and kept a Jack Dempsey, red Oscar, and blood parrot at bay..... Just 2 little convicts did all of that.
I work at a pet store chain in the UK and had a large angel fish given to me by a customer, he was as quite aggressive so it was hard to fit him into any of my set ups. One day I bought a blood parrot home and from almost the second they sore each other they became best friends. I have videos of them teaming up against my breading pair of acarras in a stand off. Sometimes they lock lips but most of the time they’re right next to each other.
They may try to breed but if the BP is male he is infertile. On the other hand I'm not sure if those two species are capable to begin with. It's been done with BP's and convicts which is a cool looking fish. But be warned they could become dangerous for your acara if they attempt to breed.
@John Crute I couldn't care less about your political opinions, next time keep it to yourself loser. You don't know me so how can you say you don't like me?
My favorite fish I’ve ever had. Smart, can go with pretty much any other fish aside from cardinal tetras and hyper aggressive fish like dovii. I’ve had mine with large tetras to a Jack Dempsey and it’s always been the boss.

The black marks are most likely a disease.
Black marks can be normal very young before they get color. It can also mean the fish is stressed

Your fish are literally adorable
The things i love about them
Personality - yes each of them have different personalities and react different on other situations, and yes they do have a mind of there own
Interactive - very interactive on other fishes, tanks, plants or onto you
Color - they change color over time, either growing up, showing if there healthy, stress, exhausted, happy or sleepy
They lay on there sides when they sleep too, others say that theyre not doing well, sometimes blood parrots can sleep like that
They stare at you - its kinda creepy but cute as well, sometimes if ur not aware and just sitting infront of the tank you will notice they will watch
depends, the dye 'wears' off and I strongly recommend not getting a dyed one. If you want a green one they have cross breeds that have a green body with black speckles around the fines - beautiful fish, without the risk of diseases.

Had one hated it the whole time...saw this video....I'm giving it a tank for it to be the center piece of my glow barbs my new king 🤴
I saw a 2 ft tank in a hair saloon with 2 blood parrots, 2 goldfish and 1 angel fish. The owner says they been living in harmony for a year.
Interesting combination
That sounds like a over crowded set up too be honest for all 5hose fish
Way overcrowded. And goldfish are cold water fish.
Everyone else saw that flowerhorn in a community tank right👀
I love my polar blue parrots, they're more around the size of convicts since they're hybridized with convicts.
i like blood parrots but clown loaches are the best. they get along with everyone and are so playful
Wow I have 10 parrots! I didn't know that my oldest is 15 year's old but all my have their tails. I love these fish
Awesome video definitely getting one tomorrow!
blood parrot fish are the most interactive and bold fish that I ever seen. And they are very hardy too, never heard of this type of fish fall ill 😅
Tough as nails
They will. Poor water quality and wound infection are the two main problems that they get smacked hard by. Ich is also a problem for younger fish being brought in straight from wholesale. I see a lot of blood parrots it’s ich.
I love blood parrot
I think there's a bit of severum in the Blood Parrot as well. It's not just a plain combination of those two gigantic cichlids.
Last week you got me addicted to convict cichlids now I want a blood parrot
Hold tight. More coming your way.
@@SGBeardedAquarist can't wait I'm currently looking for a centerpiece fish for a 180 gallon with mollies, platys, tetras, rosy barbs, gouramis and a rainbow shark
Haha i know the feeling bro,, Go with Blood parrots as youre center piece fish. They are awesome and so Colorfull.. you won't regret lt. I have 4 of them in my CommunityFishTank they are awesome.
@@kakakid22 thanks bro I will
Convicts are cool but make sure all male or so female a breeding pair is a pita. Wish I had listened before when people warned me. There biggest problem being that no matter what you will be overrun by fry because convicts are great parents and extremely aggressive so fry loss is unlikely no matter what other fish is in the tank. I had a pair that destroyed a pleco almost killed a red devil and kept a Jack Dempsey, red Oscar, and blood parrot at bay..... Just 2 little convicts did all of that.
I work at a pet store chain in the UK and had a large angel fish given to me by a customer, he was as quite aggressive so it was hard to fit him into any of my set ups. One day I bought a blood parrot home and from almost the second they sore each other they became best friends. I have videos of them teaming up against my breading pair of acarras in a stand off. Sometimes they lock lips but most of the time they’re right next to each other.
I wonder if they could spawn together one day?
This is better than a love story haha. Idk if they'll be able to breed (i doubt it), but if they do, that would be so cool.
They may try to breed but if the BP is male he is infertile. On the other hand I'm not sure if those two species are capable to begin with. It's been done with BP's and convicts which is a cool looking fish. But be warned they could become dangerous for your acara if they attempt to breed.
@John Crute I couldn't care less about your political opinions, next time keep it to yourself loser. You don't know me so how can you say you don't like me?
And we lost the meaningful conversation here.
I love my blood parrots. Good video
My favorite fish I’ve ever had. Smart, can go with pretty much any other fish aside from cardinal tetras and hyper aggressive fish like dovii. I’ve had mine with large tetras to a Jack Dempsey and it’s always been the boss.
I’ve got a 40 gallon aquarium and I’m getting a blood parrot with some barbs and a honey gourami
I used to have one that was as big as my hand and he always followed me around the house
I love blood parrots! Super passives for a cichlids too
Aww I enjoyed this video so much. I have 2 baby blood parrot fish. I love them even more after watching this🥰
"Gamorah spawned with Thanos"
...thank goodness these are just fish...
