Would it be Ok to temp house a 3-4" blood parrot in here? It would only be for 2 months at most. I have not gotten this fish yet but it is so nice looking, one of the best I have ever seen in this town I would love to grab him.

it would be ok for a short period of time just keep an eye on your smaller fish mine loved chasing my rams around till i moved him.

Sounds ok just keep a very close eye on the tankmates.

Stupid scissortails! I was going to go pick up the fish today and went to take a good look at my tank. There on the side of one of the fish is a ulser. So now the hospital tank has all 6 of them in it so the one can get better. (I tryed just the one and he would not stop betting him self againsed the sides until I put the others in with him.) I raised the heat and put in more salt and all ready he looks better after 5 hours but they will still need to be in there for 2 weeks. All I have left is a uncycled 10 gal with no heater or filter for it. Oh well.
