Parrot dumpster diving

It may just be me but don't blood parrots typically have tails? I don't know if it's just me but in the pics he seems to not have a tail. Is that normal?

By the way you have a beautiful tank!

You have a nice looking tank and fish. I agree with @Wills I use to have a 55 gallon African Cichlids tank and they tend to be aggressive and are hard water fish. I keep both soft water and hard water fish in separate tanks and use RO water to soften my hard water. I would suggest you consider having a 2nd tank so you can separate the hard water fish from the soft water fish. They will be more healthier in the long run. My cichlids love pushing things around the tank like plastic plants. I ended up with over 50 fry that made it to adulthood.

Thanks. Will tell hubby.

If he’s still growing he may get stuck in there some day. I would get him a bigger smoother ”cave”

It looks like one of the so-called heart parrots or love parrots where the tail of a young fish is cut so that the fish grows into a sort of heart shape.
