    I have one of these and I LOVE him! He's got so much personality, and he's always so exited to see me lol. He's with 4 blood parrots and one platinum parrot and it's the cutest bunch of fish ever. They all get along, just occasional little squabbles but even those are adorable lol.

      General consensus is 3.5"-4", however, they are a hybrid of a hybrid, so there is going to be some difference.
      I've seen blood parrots max out at 5" but also get bigger than 8" for example.

    Hi, I just picked up 4 of these today from my local fish store. The thing is I live in Vietnam and my vietnamese isnt all that good, I didnt really know what type of fish they were, and just went for them based on their looks. They are the first four fish to go into my new 75g tank along with 4 corydoras. My original intention was to move my tiger barbs and clown loaches into this tank. Do you think all these fish will get along. I'm fairly new to the hobby, but struggling a little with the names of fish and identifying them. The vietnamese names often dont translate that well, I have been researching certain fish that can go together, but this was more of an on the spot purchase, will it work ? Any advice would be welcome. Thank you .

    So I have heard two different stories about how they came about. First story is it's a hybrid cross of a male convict and female parrot. The other story is that it's not a hybrid and simply just a deformed short convict cichlid. So which is true? I'm leaning more toward it being a hybrid.

      @1967lee 2 года назад +1

      My male polar blue paired up with a female Honduran red point, the result is perfect Honduran Red point babies as the short bodied gene is recessive. I lean towards the short bodied convict and Honduran Red point hybrid explanation, my polar blue has all the colouring of a male Honduran red point shades of blue but a lovely red tail fin.
