QuestionHi!
I was wondering if a Blood Parrot Cichlid would be a good fish to complete my 40 gallon tank set up.
This is what it has so far;
1 Gold Gourami (5 in.)
1 Angelfish (4 in.)
1 Bolivian Ram (3 in.)
2 SailFin Mollies (3 in.)
1 Red Tail Shark (4 in.)
All of the current occupants are very peaceful and have never hurt each other in any way, so I do not believe that the Blood Parrot would face any aggression and would receive a warm welcome.
Thank you for your time!

AnswerHi Andy,
Are you aware that blood parrot cichlids are manmade hybrids? Personally, I would not put a blood parrot in that tank. They can be quite beligerent as they get larger.
