A blue-patterned parrot cichlid. Ask how large this line gets before planning a community around it.
Care at a glance
-
Minimum tank 60 gallons for one full-sized parrot cichlid, with more room for tankmates. Ask about the adult size of this hybrid.
-
Temperature 75–80°F (24–27°C) for common parrot hybrids
-
Water pH 6.5–7.8 as a starting range. Match the fish’s holding water during acclimation. Keep ammonia and nitrite at 0 ppm.
Tankmates and setup*
May defend a hide. In a roomy tank, choose sturdy tankmates of similar size and skip small or timid fish.
* Temperament varies by fish and setup.
Feeding
Choose a complete cichlid pellet the fish can pick up and swallow. Try Hikari Sinking Cichlid Gold if the pieces are small enough.
