Blue Parrot Cichlids are a uniquely colored hybrid cichlid known for their striking blue bodies with vertical barring and the characteristic beak-like mouth of parrot cichlids. They are semi-aggressive but generally do well in spacious community tanks with other robust fish. These hybrids are hardy and adaptable, thriving in a wide range of water conditions.
