Parrot Cichlid

If they were dark brown/green with striped and as they grew they bacame yellow in patches slowly spreading all over then they were probably not dyed and this was the tansition between juvie and adult colours. If they were a solid light green and slowly became less green and more yellow then they would have been dyed.

This is what a BP looks like as it changes from juvie to adult colours.

When I saw they they were a horribly mucky green colour and I purchsed them a few weeks later as they were ordered in the shop by mistake and they were all patchy like the one your have added.
Thanks for that I never knew they changed colour from juvi to adult.
When they left us they we all yellow, no mark of any colour on them.

Great looking BP. I would love to find a one with a lot of white.

Thanks ;)

You know, it's quite strange, but his orange spots have moved over time. He actually looks a lot different now o_O

Yeah I had a red devil that was like that and they are one of the parent species. Any new pics?
