    Why don't you try keeping pure cichlids? Parrots are actually hybrids. There are a lot of pure cichlids that are great for starters. Moreover, cichlids have so many choices and colors. You'll never finish keeping all of them!

    Blood Parrot require slightly acid water (Approximately pH 6.5) and soft water (low kH and GH)(You can use Tetra Black water to achieve this), temparature 26C to 28C. Don't forget to provide good filtration system and frequent partial water change. IMO,even Blood Parrot is Hybrid fish, it is good for novice. Don't give up!

    The only parrot that colours wont fade are those of the red/orange variaty. The others have been died.

    They are great fish with lots of personality.
    My fish passions:
    -African cichlids (especially Malawi)
    -Catfish
    -Red snook (petenia splendida)
    -Discus
