A club for owners of Parrot Cichlids

I belonged to this forum before, but can't locate my username, so signed up again. Anyway, my big female Parrot, "Dave" is hanging in the corner of her tank. I have two, Dave and Winston, who are at least six years old. They are in a 55 gallon. Everything is the same as always except three things:

I have two Cichlids--one much larger than the other. They have been tankmates for about three years.  The smaller one has staked out a part of the tank, on the gravel where he/she has moved the gravel to form what looks like a nest. He/she seems to stay there most of the time.  I have not noticed any changes in appearance or feeding just that he/she spends considerable time in this nest.  This started when I moved them into a larger (50 gallon) tank.

What can i say about Bubbles?! He's awesome! That's what. I went to walmart for a little fish shopping one day. (yeah i know walmart...what are you thinking?!.. Let me explain why real fast lol. I like to browse places that sell fish for unique fish. Fish with flaws or oddities who for the most part if not taken special care of will surely die. A few months back I bought a giant danio with a gimp tail fin. Picture provided.

First off I want to start by saying my blood parrot Bubbles is my absolute baby. He's about 7 mo's old and say 5" long, I have him in a 40g tank at the moment. I recently got a 55g tank which I put 4 african cichlids in but to be honest i tend to spoil Bubbles, hes my baby..so im thinking of giving him the 55g tank which leads me to my question. Are the african cichlids suitable tank mates for bubbles? they're juvi's right now about an inch long each but as we all know fish grow, and african cic's tend to be on the aggressive side so i was wondering how that would work out.

Me and my boyfriend were shopping around this morning when we decided we wanted two beautiful Parrot fish. We took them home and kept them in a small take and everything was going great. I contacted a friend and got a much larger tank, maybe 45gallons. While I was about to feed them I realised my poor smaller parrot (Bait), was being bullied, slammed, and what looked like bit my larger fish (Shark)! I'm a worried fish mama and need advice! What do I do!?!

Hi all, I'm a new member here. I'm a owner of a blood parrot cichlid for about 4 months now. He is located in a 20 gallon tank and has plenty of space. I have it well decorated with plants, gravel and a large piece of fake wood centered in the middle. Out of the many assortments of fish I have owned, he is my all-time favorite. "Big Bird" seems to be very shy and likes to hide throughout most of the day, which is upsetting. Is this normal for most parrots and if so will they grow out of it? At a local pet store I noticed a somewhat larger red devil parrot and was interested in buying him.

Hi I'm new to the site.

I currently have a 120gallon tank where I have 2 large Oscars both about 8" long, 1 large parrot about 1year old and I just added 2 new small parrots to the tank. Also in the tank is a large Plecco thats about 1 foot long and a few pink convicts.

Everyone gets along great in the tank and I am hoping to get some useful information from this site!

Happy fishing everyone!!

Noticed this morning that two of out of my four parrots are starting with ich ( this would explain why they were rubbing them selves off the plants and rocks last week, guess it takes a few days for the white spots to actually show)
I have read many people having success with just raising the temp and adding aquarium salt.
How high do i raise the temp and for how long??
Also how much salt? I don't want to harm any fish..I also have a few corys and pictus catfish.
It seems like a mild case I just don't want it to get any worse.
Thank you!
