Red Parrot Compatability

[nagukush]

Hi Friends !

Just wanted to request you for some advice. Actually I have bought a new Tank of the dimensions - 85 CM (L) x 65 CM (H) x 45 CM (W)

I just wanted to request you to kindly suggest if I can add these beauties http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/cichlid/bluemoorii.php the Blue Dolphin Fish with my current 4 Red Parrots (which are about 3 inches in length)

Kindly help me decide friends :)

Regards

No, they have different water quality requirements. Also, they get to be 10" long, so too big for your tank anyway.

If you are talking about the red blood parrots then i would say your tank (ie a 65 gallon) is fully stocked and possibly overstocked. and i do believe they can grow to 8" or more. I had one that was 7" before i gave him away. and yes they have different water parameters

4 in a 65 is pretty tight. BP's are messy and grow pretty large as bullseye said. they are also fairly territorial. adding anything wouldnt be the best idea, much less another territorial cichlid.
