They are hybrids. The ones that are any color than orange are dyed.
You might try Parrot with two r's instead or Parrot Cichlid because that's what type of fish it is. http://www.geocities.com/parrotcichlid/history.html has some information on them. jp wrote: My wife came home with 3 Bubblegum Parot fish... I think they are that crossbreed using red-devils and something else. Very oddly shaped. Anyway... I can't seem to really find much information on these fish. Am I searching on the wrong name? I searched Google for Parot Fish and Bubblgum Parot Fish... only got returns on the Parot Fish search. These are supposedly a smaller fish than what I can find info on. They also look like they may have been dyed or colored in some way. Bright blue, Red and Lemon Yellow... I want to treat these guys as well as I can but I currently have community tanks... Gourami's, Tetra's etc (75 gal).. I have two tanks with Angels, Cardinals, and Platys (1 55gal, 1 29gal), one Quarintine tank(10gal) and 2 Tanks that are currently cycling using fishless as suggested from these newsgroups. My community and Quarintine tanks are all at 80 degrees Farenheit. All tanks currently at 7.2-7.4 Ph, 20dGH and around 8-12kH. (varies according to well water conditions) I try to keep water buffered to the same level at all times. When adding water during water changes I measure current well water conditions and current tank conditions and make adjustments as necessary to keep it as close to even as possible. 0 amonnia 0 nitrites ? Nitrates (waiting on delivery of new nitrate test kit) the 75gal and the 55 gal are both planted aquaria, the 75 more heavily. DIY co2 on 75. Approx 125 watts Florescent with daylight and warm white mix) Not enough plants or lights on 55 (only 40watts) so no CO2 here. 29 Gallon same water conditions as 55. Anyway. Where should I place these guys (Parot? Cichlids)? Should they go into their own tank or will a community tank be sufficient? Do they need harder or software water? is ph 7.2-7.4 too high or too low? Water hard or soft? Thanks in advance if anyone is familiar with these guys... |
