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

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.

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

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❤

We have 4 blood parrot fish ! My dad have hobby of keeping fishes not me so I was never interested in aquarium at all .. I use to think it's just waste of money to keep them but then I started liking aquarium.. but still I was not fond of fishes .. especially parrot fishes because they use to fight alot !! When we got 4 blood parrot fishes they were small then one of them started growing very big compare to others we call him fatty bull ( king Kong parrot fish ) 😂 because he's big and little agressive. Other two are tiger parrot fish!! They're normal sized . And last one is normal blood parrot fishes.. We had koi , gold fish and Oscar fishes too ..you can say we had very big tank with lot of different types of fishes as my dad loved them ! But we removed other fishes and kept parrot fishes . Few days ago my dad got another 4 fishes in which two were blue and two were white they glow under light I don't know their names ! We have one turtle 🐢 too in tank he lives with other fishes normal eating same food . He loves fish food so much that he refuses to eat turtle food.

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.

personally i have such a soft spot for blood parrots. it was the third fish as a fish keeper that i owned and i did really like it... for the short time i had it, i rehomed it to my friend who had a much bigger tank. one day i will love to get myself one more blood parrot, tho one of my pond buddies dosent like that its a hybrid

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

Always been a fan of tanks, but it's been quite awhile since I've had one. A little over a month ago I got a steal on a 75 gallon bow front. A pair of blood reds were the first fish I got. My 4 year old twin nephews were the ones that actually picked them out at the pet store lol I love them. Everytime I walk through the livingroom I can feel their eyes on me. Got a new fish today and was taking pictures and they were right in front of my camera Everytime I tried taking a picture of the new fish lol

They definitely grow on you. I would never have bought them but my son did and threw them into one of my 55 gal tanks. I have 2 Blood Parrots with Giant Danios, some Mexican crayfish and an Electric Yellow Lab. My Bloods seem to only pick on each other (one is dominant) and, due to their small mouth, there is never any damage. The sub Parrot gets pushed around a little but will barely even bother to swim away. They can and will eat smaller fish, however.

@@gladysmontero7186 I am no expert by any means as the gentleman that runs this channel is a fountain of information. I only treat them with brine shrimp and in small amounts. I have heard it can cause bloat and is like candy to them. I feed mini pellets of Hikari brand cichlid food. It is a good food that is nutritious and helps enhance their natural orange color.😃

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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.
