A club for owners of Parrot Cichlids

how do you think an apple snail would do with 1 parrot?- snail is about the size of a golf ball, maybe tad bit smaller- thanks

what would be an ideal mix of fish in a newly established 220 gallon tank with 3 or 4 parrots, thanks bob

This is my 1st Parrot cichlid and I made the mistake of putting him in with an African cichlid. The parrot was bigger and the other cichlid was used to being the small fish in the tank so I thought it would work. I was wrong but I have gotten my parrot cichlid a brand new 56 gal tank. I am planning on getting him some tank mates or dither fish but I want to be sure that no one gets beat up again. Should I wait to get some more fish to let my parrot fish get acclimated? If not, what others should I be looking into? I read that 1 fish per 10 gallons is acceptable- is that a good rule of thumb?

I am wondering how aggressive these fish are. I have four BP's about an inch n half, 2 yellow labs ( 1 1/2") and the daffodil's are also about 1 1/2". I guy as work want's to give them to me.

we;; the fish i plan to put in with the parrot is 4 inch silver doller,5 inch texas ciclid, 8 inch plec, 3 inch combtail, 3 inch blue acara,3 inch plec, 6inch blue lobster.

Has anyone tried ghost knife fish as tankmates with BPS.

hi i have got a 3 foot fish tank and i plane to put my 12 inch clown knifefish in with my 7 inch parrot fish but my parrot is also verry agresive so what do you think.

I just bought in 2 small spotted gars with my pair of BPS. I had bigger BPS but I have got them exchanged for a pair of small BPS.

Spotted Gars seem to be very peaceful creatures and do not seem to bother about the parrots nor do the parrots bother.

The Parrots keep themselves busy playing with eachother. I have also upgraded to a 75 gallon tank last week.

Will keep you guys updated about the gars!! Has anyone tried this combination before.

I have one parrot and he/she seems lonley! What would be the best(interesting looking) buddy i could put in for he/she?

Hi,

I have a Glofish in with my tropical community tank was wondering if they would also go with parrots and/or jellybeans. My community tank is maxed out and I love watching the little feller dart around the other fish. I just want to make sure since bright colored fish can stress out some types of fish.

Thanks,
Kolton
