My New Baby :)

[lilfishie]

Well heres my new baby, never been a big fan of these fish but this lil 1 won my heart, had to take her home

She's currently in a small tank on her own until Thursday when someone picks up my reedfish otherwise they'd happily eat her

Such character in these fish, she's super friendly already and sits in my hand, only had her a few days

is it a parrot fish?

 

[lilfishie]

it is indeed a tiny one lol about 1inch max

i had a pair once that was always trying to spawn, i found the male dead with a pebble wedged in his mouth

For a second I didn't see the fish and thought you were taking about the ornament lol. How big will she get?

 

[lilfishie]

they get to 8" or so i've read

interesting i didnt know parrots were hybrids

Saw one at a small shop close to my house today, that's about 8". Originally thought to be a cross between a midas cichlid and a severum. Not sure if they ever figured it out.

These kind of Parrots are a cross between a Midas and a Red Head Cichlid (I think).

You can also get a true Parrot Cichlid. Saw one once, very nice indeed.
