Check Out My New Parrots

[kevinjames]

browsing ebay i found two parrot cichlids for sale locally. been after some for a while so thought id get these from as local breeder who took them in off a friend cos they were eating small fish. anyway they were in very good condition and bigger than any in my local shops. better still i got them both for a bargain at £8. i was also impressed with the seller as he had a small fish house so i got some small angel fish for my mothers new 125l set up. heres a video of the lovely little critters:

Beautiful! You got them a big aquarium. I think for that space you need to add more kind of fishes and add colorful coral reefs and aquatic mosses. Feels like their living in a real underwater world.

"colourfull coral reefs"

In a 'tropical' tank, not marine. This kind of decor would crucify the tanks overall looks. Theres only one thing worse to put in a tropical tank aside from synthetic decor...thats marine synthetic decor.


On a serious note, how are these fish doing Kevin? Been a while since you introduced them to us without further updates

im having trouble with one of the arrots though regarding it swimbladder. from the research ive done it seems quite common. its frustrating though as one day its fine and then a few days later it seems to lose balance and twist and turn all over. but then wha=en feeding time comes its fine lol. thanks for asking anyway, these fish seem a bit controversial here lol.
