Parrot Fish

[metfan581]

what is the difference between parrot fish
ex...king knog...blood parrot ...jelly bean parrot ect

which is dyed
they are all hybrid right?

what are their tank requirements

jellybean parrots are blood parrots crossed with convicts.. they grow to about 5'' Min tank size 33g

blood parrots are a hybrid of maybe severum and red devil.. or red devil and synispillum... they grow to a max of about 8'' Min tank size 55g

king kong parrots are another hybrid.. I THINK they are blood parrot X red devil... they should max out at about 10'' Min tank size 55g


as for dyed parrots... I've seen jellybeans (pink convict X bp) dyed all sorts of colors, and I've seen blood parrots dyed also.

I don't think king kong parrots are a mix of RD and BP... or at least, that's not all they're a mix of. I've seen one confirmed spawn of BP x RD and they all pretty much looked like RDs with slightly taller bodies (they are 75% RD, after all, so they look quite similar to a normal one). I also have a fish I believe to be a midas x BP, and she looks basically the same as the others I saw. In my opinion, the king kongs are just too deep-bodied for this combo to make sense, but that's just opinion as I have no idea what they are a mix of.

EDIT: Maybe it's a BP crossed back to a severum?

yeah it has to be that! ive never seen a king kong parrot, but i do have a bp, and a pair of gold severums and if you put em together im sure they would make king kongs as bps get at least 8" ( depends ) and severums can get upto a foot, it makes sence right ?
