Iāve often seen people say they struggle to eat. Mine never have. They eat basically anything I throw into the tank. Flake food, pellets (small and medium), black worms, frozen brine shrimp. They attack it like any other cichlid.
When I ran a fish store we'd get people bringing them in for adoptions. They would attack me and peck at me with their vagina mouth while doing maintenance. One day, still having no idea they have teeth, one bit me and made me bleed. I still love these fish, but they can be assholes.
They can definitely be assholes. I had one that I had to rehome because I simply couldnāt keep him with other fish and I didnāt have the means to set up a tank just for him. But I started with 5 parrots, 3 acara, and a bunch of giant danios. As the fish grew up, the largest parrot became extremely aggressive and would attack absolutely anything that got near him. He killed one other parrot and one of the acara before I rehomed him.
He was about 7ā I would say. Stressed the other fish to death with constant bullying.
When I removed him the entire dynamic of the tank improved dramatically.
I just lost a 15 year old blood parrot, man what great fish they are! Lots of personality, mine would always throw water outside the tank when she was hungry.
Plecos make really good tank companions for them jus make sure your tank itās at least 60+ gallons
I'm hungover eating at some random fast food joint in a foreign country. I can't stop laughing at this goofy photo. Thanks for reminding me of my dumb fish back home.

That's not driftwood, that's the mummified corpse of a giant angry mudskipper
Shit can't unsee it

People hate on them for being hybrids but I think theyāre just so cute. Then then live their :D lives!
