Can someone please sell me some Parrots for my Tank i want some purple or Pink ones i have to amazing orange ones already and am looking for a few more thanks
My blood parrot cichlids have been laying eggs and when I see the eggs I always vaccuum them up, until this time. I decided to take a picture of the eggs in hopes to find out if it is possible to tell by looking at them if they are fertile or not. If my blood parrots were in that small percent that could be fertile, I'd feel guilty for destroying them. A lot of the eggs are a clearish color but then there are a few here and there that are white. There are no other fish in the tank other than the two blood parrots. I guess my question is: Can these eggs hatch?
I bought 4 little fish (1/2 in.) from WalMart 3 months ago labeled as parrot fish (2 intense pink, 1 blue and 1 green). While Green didn't make it through the night, within days Blue and Pinky were obviously best friends, while Pink had retreated to a different plant area in my 55 gal. tank, already populated with 6 gourami males and a platy couple.
On July 9th (incidentally my birthday too) Blue and Pinky came out of their little cave with 12 babies and have been terrorizing the tank ever since, managing to keep all 12 babies alive and well.
i have 2 parrot fish approx. 3 to 4 inches within a 27 gallon hex tank attempted twice to introduce pleco to control algea growth neither lasted more than 48 hours. i have to assume they were devoured by the parrots. i do frequent water changes once a week. tank stays in pristine condition except for small build up of algea on glass and rocks, what other options do i have.
We are new to the hobby.We bought a 40 gallon established freshwater aquarium from a hobbyist. My wife fell in love with the BP so we have one and are thinking of adding a second. We have 2 Serpae tetras and 1 Tiger Barb and 2 sunset platys as tankmates. We are aware that we may be upgrading to a larger tank in a couple years but are looking forward to the beauty and enjoyment of our aquarium
i have a female parrot that is laying eggs and my red devil male is staying with her and chasing the others away,anyone have any idea if they can breed? they appear to be, ive been told he is fertile,hope i have babies {i think} i would like to hear some feed back, thanks
My parrot fish has developed some small black spots on it fins and between its head top fin. What do I need to do? It also has ick right now so I am treating that also. Is the black spot harmful to the her (I think it's a her, according to what I've read)?
Thanks,
Kolton
