My Parrot Fish

[Toki]

I just have a typical blood parrot fish, like the one pictured in the stickied thread. I've had him for about 3 years and he doesn't seem to be growing at all. I've been feeding him TetraColor Tropical Flakes (Natural Color Enhancer) and occassionally bloodworms. He's in a 44 gallon corner tank with 3 other fish: an electric yellow cichlid, a pictus catfish and a kissing gourami.

Should I do anything different food-wise or is he just in too small a tank?

how big is he now? try feeding some kind of cichlid pellets and some other frozen foods and he should grow.

how is your water parameter and how old is the fish when you got him/her?

blood parrots will eat anything especially if you keep them in community. But the best diet for them is just different assortments of food.

sometimes when you look at a fish everyday, would do not notice the change in size.
