Parrot Cichlids are considered to be large-bodied cichlids. As such, they require oversize filters and large amounts of water to dilute the growth-stunting, life-shortening secretions and toxins that build up between weekly water changes. With insufficient dilution, these chemicals and compounds quickly and adversely impact the health of the animal.

Hi everyone!!

So I am new to this site. I've been doing a lot of reading online, but it all seems different and to conflict with each other. So I hope you all can put up with my beginner questions? :)

Basically my parents bought me a larger tank for my birthday (27 gal) and i've recently got it all set up and running and today i bought fish for it.

at the aquatic store i went to i spent AGES deciding what to get, and eventually settled for these TINY little 'speckled parrot fish' (as the guy told me they were) and bought THREE as they had a deal on where 3 were £10.00

4 small parrot fish in a 20 gallon tank, can they be good in it?

Sat, 04/23/2011 - 04:42 — Arangogol77

they are small, they told me at the store that 4 would be fine in my tank, and now some guys told me that the tank is small? the fish are not even bigger than a gold fish... thay are still small, very shy thou, I've seen videos of people with 55 galons tanks and with a lot of these fish, more than 10, so, I don't get it... Thanks!
Here is a pic of the aquarium , you can't see the fish because the are hidden ...

any one with a good heart? :)

Too small Tank

I was given a Blood Orange Parrot 4 days ago for my 10 gallon tank (he is the only fish in it). My friend who gave me the gift was told at the pet store that the fish was ok for the size of the tank, unfortunately, after researching the fish, I realize that the tank is too small for him. I am a student and cannot afford a larger tank, and do not know what to do with Scuttle (my fish). My friend was told at the pet store that the fish will be fine because they only grow to the size of their tank, is that unhealthy for him? What should I do?

Hi,


the general consensus seems to be 30 gallons for one blood parrot and an additional 10 gallons for each additional blood parrot. My new 60 gallon tank I am getting delivered tomorrow can therefore hold 4 blood parrots, Could it hold other fish type in addition to this or is it 4 blood parrots only?
