I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 Parrots and a Pleco. I have been feeding them frozen and flake/pellet food. What should I be feeding them it dosen't seem like they care for what I am feeding.
I have been trying different kinds of food for my BP. I just gave him two feeder Guppies and he seemed to really like that. He is a picky eater. Seems to only like live food. I have tied floating and sinking pellets. He just sucks them in then spits them out. He wont even touch the flakes. He likes blood worms and guppies, that is all I have found that he will eat soo far. I haven't tried the peas. I will try those in a few days, but is there anything else I can feed him?
Help - I had 2 parrot fish, both 10 yrs old. Always been healthy, and within the last couple of weeks they have started losing their color, not eating, and staying in the back part of the tank. (75 gallon, tank mates 2 plecostomus cats, 1 silver dollar, 1 convict) After check all water levels, I found the ph was low, so brought it up to their liking. They immediately started swimming more, getting a bit of color back, and moving about the tank.
We inherited a Parrot Cichlid last summer - my 7 y.o. named her Happy. (We don't know if she's male or female, we think female because she moves rocks&creates walls.) She's alone in a 15 gallon tank.
She won't eat for the last three or four days; we changed the entire tank of water, balanced the PH, opened a new can of food - she's breathing, moving, but still won't eat. She's also got a white patch on one side now.
Any help would be appreciated.
To add to my question yesterday RE: parrot + oscars + shyness, my new question is:
Since Parrot is going through shyness and won't come out of his newly chosen home, how do I feed him? I usually feed the loaches frozen blood worms, and a few drift into his home and he appears to pick them up off the ground, but... I am worried it may not be enough?
Any techniques on feeding a shy/hiding parrot? How long can they go without a decent amount of food before it effects them?
Cheers,
Joshua
Ok so here is the problem...I want to feed my BPs live food but i have seen that it is bad to buy feeder fish at the store because they could have a disease and could get my PBs sick. The lady at the pet store said i could also feed ghost shrimp to them but wouldnt it be the same with the disease?
My Red Parrot ate a Fly! I was in my room about to feed them I had opened up the lid and they swam to the top knowing what time it was and I had spotted a fly on my window, I attempted to smack the fly, but he flew away and landed on the water of the aquarium. Alex without hesitation grabbed the fly off the top of the water! Ben seemed a little jealous! I thought it was so funny, but I was wondering if that was healthy??? By the way it looks as of right now I will be getting a 50 gal. soon!

Hello,
I am really very new to having Parrot fish, I have only kept tropical fish, but I would like to know how often I feed them ,as everybody in the Aquarium shops say different things.
