hey guys

i've just found an advert of a guy selling a true parrot cichlid which is a fish i've always wanted to try my hand with. Basically do you think it would be alright in my 100gallon with the following - Female Nic, Blue acara, 4 geophagus surinamesis and a rotkeil severum?
 
no. you should let me buy it instead..... :lol:

there is nothing in there thats too aggressive so i would say if the parrot is calm then go for it. if it doesnt work out then just send it my way :hey: just dont tell star :no:
 
Star has all ready seen the add on AC, too rudy far for me and its stupidly cheap too!!!!

Should be ok, with your stock.
 
sweet i shall ring the guy tomorrow! haha i will send it to you once im done. :D
at that price i would ring him now otherwise it will probably get snapped up.

too far for me to go aswell star. why does that always happen :angry:

i did speak to the staff at wharf yesterday and they have a 6-7 inch true parrot but its not for sale yet as it has a sunken belly :sad:
 
Fingers crossed you get it, I would ring now if I were you, they dont seem to be on AC long.

Off topic, what sex are your Elliotti, Littlemonkey is looking for a couple of females, I dont have any left.
 
I have a true parrot In a 100 gal with 2 uaur 2 severums blue acar and small ebjd. All are fine they lip lock from
time to time but they all seem to keep eachother in check. I need a bigger tank or to sell some fish but for now it works.

Mine is wild caught was 4" when I got her 8 months ago and now is 6". They get as big as oscars. Some get huge 14" some only 11" it depends on the fish. I'm waiting to see how big mine gets and will be looking for a bigger tank. They are slow to mature it can take 2 years for them to get full grown. A 100gal is fine but not with too many other tank mates. Gosh I need a bigger tank.

I have called a shop today they "might" be able to do a deal on my rotkeils for a couple of TP's
 
a couple :hyper: thats just greedy.....

thats great news if it happens then :good: i dont suppose they have a third parrot? :unsure:
 
gosh I wish you guys lived near me. I have been playing with the idea of selling mine. But I will only let it go to a good home and its hard to find someone that can care for big fish well. So I'm keeping her for as long as I can. If I could ship the fish I could find it a good home but not in my area.
