[MelissaBrian]

FOUND ONE THANKS EVERYONE !

[tippikitty]

You can buy them at any pet store or even Walmart. They cost anywhere from 20 to 30 dollars depending where you get it. Just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't. I have 4 of them and love them!

[tippikitty]

They also can be very aggressive so you have to be careful what you put them with. What do you have in there now?

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

I bought baby ones from animalia for $2.50. It doesn't take them long to get big. Wal-mart has them for $15.99 but they are pretty sick looking.

[MelissaBrian]

yeah i got two...lol

i just want more hehe
they are the sweetest things ,like little puppy dogs of the tank .

just looking to see if i could get a deal on some ...cant get them too small cause the fish that are if with my parrots will eat them being so small .

thanks for the info guys ,im very well informed of the beautifull fish.

again ty
missy

[tippikitty]

I've never seen baby ones before, that would be cool?

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

They're white, don't have the bump on their back and are quite fugly [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol.gif[/img] They're my favorite fish in the tank. Quite the personalities.

[tippikitty]

So will they always be white? Because I know that parrot fish normally get their color from being injected.

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

I have no idea. I know they're naturally orange or red, sometimes injected to make it a deeper color. I was told they would turn orange/red when they matured but honestly, I don't care if they do [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol.gif[/img] I think they're adorable the way they are.

This is the closest thing I could find to what mine look like. This one is a dwarf jellybean convict, apparently. Mine are slightly different, though.

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

The more I read, the more I think they're Jellybean Parrots, not Blood Parrots. Jellybeans are a cross between Bloods and Convicts and are able to reproduce [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img] Maybe I'll have some babies haha

[MelissaBrian]

the orange color is there natural color...
as for the other colors like ,blue and pink yellow are made to look that color..

sad realy.abuse is what i call it.

[MelissaBrian]

[tippikitty]

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

She really seems to dislike Blood Parrots, eh? lol

[tippikitty]

Actually I have 4 and they are one of my favorites! I just thought I would give out a little info on them to help some people out that aren't too familiar with them. Why do you have to be like that?

[Intangible]

I love my parrot fish. He is cool.

He gets along great with everyone else in the tank...angels, tetras, pleco. He sometimes chases them when I feed bloodworms...they make him a lil crazy.

I love how he comes up to the glass if you are in the room.

[tippikitty]

Oh [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/lol.gif[/img]

[MelissaBrian]

mine come to me as soon as im in the room

they are great and they get big!

[kuietgrl (got lost)]

Mine aren't going to get big [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] From what I can understand, they are Dwarf Jellybean Convicts. I'm told that's the proper name for a cross between a Parrot and a Pink Convict [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img]
