Parrot Cichlid (Red)

Blood Parrot Fish (Amphilophus citrinellus × Paraneetroplus synspilus)

The Blood Parrot Fish is a fascinating hybrid cichlid, resulting from the cross between Amphilophus citrinellus and Paraneetroplus synspilus. This fish is famous for its rounded shape, its characteristic beak-like mouth, and especially its intense red-orange color that catches everyone's eye.

Quite peaceful for a large cichlid, it cohabits well with similarly sized species. It prefers water between 26 and 30 °C, with a pH of 6.5 to 7.5, and a spacious aquarium (minimum 200 liters) to fully express its natural behavior.

Sociable and often curious about humans, the Blood Parrot is a spectacular fish that quickly becomes the star of the aquarium.
