Blood parrot fish Question
I have a parrot fish and a oscar in a 174L tank they are both about 6-7inc.
The parrot fish used to come up to side where i was and bump the tank gently s/he would aldo do this to my hand when i was cleaning tank. Both fish get on fine.
Now my parrot has started digging huge holes all over tank and he now charges at me and really smacks its head off glass.
Today when using grav vac it really was attcking it, then it charged at my hand and it looked like it would have hurt if i didnt get it out.
They are both spoiled rotten and still show no real sign of attacking each other.
What is wrong?
Answers:BPF dont get pregnant they spawn eggs. some females will spawn eggs without a male and the female will guard them and this also would explain it digging and being very aggressive.
BPF can be very aggressive once they mature its a cichlid thing and it may we be like this all the time now.
On the bright side with their deformed mouth it will not do much damage if it starts attacking your other fish
The parrot fish may be pregnant.
it may be digging holes for her eggs...
and attacking to protect the eggs.
please help me with my problem!
they are trying to breed. But parrots are 98% infertile as they are hybreds.
This is normal cichlid behavior. I usually have to put my male flowerhorn in a bucket when I clean his tank because he will bite so hard that you bleed. Your parrot has reached sexual maturity and has claimed the tank as his. It will continue to dig, and will also show signs of aggression from now on. You are just seeing the Midas side of him.
The parrot fish is half red devil cichlid.
Red devil's are one of the most agressive cichlids.
Cichlids are known for digging when they reach maturity.
This parrot you have is just showing some of the inherited traits. This is normal behavior. A parrot can not do much harm to your or any other fish with their mouth being deformed due to being a hybred. (some are more deformed than others)
As long as the fish are healthy and not harming each other all is well.
