Typical Behavior
You can keep them on their own, in groups, or in a community of suitable tank mates. They are generally a peaceful species, but they are easily stressed by aggressive fish, which may cause them to act out.
They can be quite shy and will often hide amongst the plants and decorations.
If they know that they have these hiding spots available, they will be much more active in your aquarium.
They are beautiful fish with a bright orange coloration to compete with some of the most colorful fish around.
The color can be solid across the body, but it is more commonly broken up by patches of other colors (usually white). Other colors have been bred, such as red and yellow. Dyes are often used to produce more color varieties, but this reduces the lifespan of the fish.
Males and females are very similar, however males are slightly larger.
When young, some individuals have their tails cut to resemble a heart shape. They are known as Heart Cichlids, and most enthusiasts view this as an extremely unethical process.
The Blood Parrot Cichlid does not have its own natural habitat because it is the product of hybridization. To get an idea of a setup they would like, we need to look at where the parent species live in the wild (such as the Midas Cichlid).
These fish live in the warm flowing freshwaters of Central America.
The water would be well lit and slightly acidic. They usually inhabit areas around rocky outcroppings and tree roots which offer protection and lots of food. The riverbed would be sandy and well planted with vegetation.
To keep your Blood Parrot Cichlids healthy you need to recreate similar conditions in your aquarium.
Thanks for watching!
