Do Parrot Fish Need Buddies If So What Kind Of Other Fish Are Good..

[joejoehead]

do they need freinds.. can you get 1 or do you need more..

 

[rob newland]

Depends on how large the tank is.
How big is yours?
Rob

Edit: looking at your profile you have a 10g and a 36g? Im guessing its in the 36g right? and even so that is not big enough for it.

Umm..

How big is your new tank inches wise?

If it's only 3 feet long I wouldn't get a parrot..

and lots of parrots wont tolerate angelfish/gouramis.. all parrots have their own personality.

 

[joejoehead]

ya its about 37" long

 

[vancouver]

Personally I wouldn't keep a parrot in a 3 foot tank.

 

[rob newland]

Nope I wouldn't either.
As vancouver said parrots have different personalities - my lfs had some extremely aggressive ones that killed whatever they put in with them.
I would really strongly suggest against buying parrots then.

I have 1 BP 1 black convict and 1 FM in a 55g. They all do pretty good, there's the occasional fight over territory but that's it.

If you mean stress the parrots out thats wrong ...But if you mean the parrot might kill them thats right
