blood parrots

Actually, that was not "cut-and-paste" Latin--I knew those names for years beforehand. (And that is ironic coming from someone who stole an entire phrase from Shirlie Sharpe, complete with the archaic identities of the fishes involved.)

Most of the dog and cat breeds (which the poster, with his wording, implied were hybrids and also said erroneously were "species") do not have intentional malformities and they are screened to make sure that malformities to something as important as the swim bladder or mouth itself are not present.

Count me as "not getting it"--there are quite a few cheap, large cichlids that haven't been put through the genetic wringer yet have all of the positive behavioral traits that the BP has, but people choose that one.

Ok I have had enough of poor attitudes like yours. You are one of the many poster on this forum that seem to search for arguments to start. As a new user it is a great turn off. If you are so bored with keeping fish and aquariums stop posting! If the only thing you care to post about is arguments leave the forum. Snotty attitudes are usually the number one killer of forums. :devil:
 
And now that Mr. Snotty attitude has been put in his place, lets get back on subject. Parrots are great fish to keep, tons of personality, great colors that really pop, and they are excellent conversation pieces, every time a guest, friend or family come by they no request to see my two parrots feed, they get a big kick out of seeing them be hand fed... :) They are probably the cutest fish in the industry, and have a very cartoonish appeal to them.

Sorry to the original poster for getting into an argument with the the typical snotty attitude forum nerd with the god complex. I will in the future stay out of their arguments and avoid their negative comments.
 
what exactly was poor about his attitude? i gues knowing something you don't know is now counted as being "snotty"? everything he said was true and scientifically accurate. if you're going to discuss species, hybrids, etc. . .you should be familiar with terminology and background of the subject before you post to the thread.

Yes, they are pretty cute, but not everyone likes them. Blood parrots seem to be a hot, and controversial, topic right now, so don't expect everyone to agree. They're either cute pink fish, or horrible Frankenfish monsters. let it go.
 
Okay folks...lay off the personal attacks. Keep on topic please and just do not respond to those who you have issues with at the personal level. Thanks for your cooperation.
 
Be Happy everyone!

blood parrots are only red, and they're about 5-15 dollars.
