So i posted my problems with my blood parrot a few weeks ago. Thanks for all of the help.
He is eating now (only frozen blood worms) and aside from losing his color he's OK with the exception that he seems to have some white fluid (snot like) coming from his nosrils like he has a cold or something. i've never seen this before. Any ideas?
BTW original post from a few weeks ago is below:
So this is like the 5th $50 or $60 blood parrot i have purchased, my fault i know but it will help you understand my frustration. All the fish came from different stores and died a few months later.
The latest one was pretty large and bright red, i asked the LFS what they feed him for his color and purchased the food, almost instantly he stopped eating that food and only enjoyed frozen which i fed him because he was not eating at all (my fault again), he has now quit eating that stuff as well and his lips are swolen like somone punched him in the mouth.
All water params are spot on, temp is 74, ph 7.2 water changes every two weeks, tank is 110 gallon with large but peacful cichlids.
What am i missing, while frustrated i really love these fish, ask me questions if you think i've missd something and please HELP!!
Thanks!!
