Peaceful

Blood Red Parrot cichlids, also known as Bloody Parrots or Blood Red Parrots, are a relatively new hybrid species developed in Taiwan in the 1980s. Despite being a controversial species, they quickly became appreciated because of their peaceful temperament and ability to live in a community tank. Their mouths stay open in a continuous “O,” and their teeth are deep down in their throats, so they are unable to fight and would rather bump into each other.

Females usually grow up to 6-7 inches and males are a bit larger, around 7-8 inches. In very large tanks, some Bloody Parrots have reached up to 10 inches, but this is pretty rare.
