These cichlids are peaceful compared to many other medium-sized species and quickly learn to recognize their keepers, often begging for food and following movement outside the tank. They thrive in well-decorated aquariums with caves, smooth rocks, and plenty of swimming space. Hardy and full of personality, Blood Parrots make excellent centerpiece fish for medium to large community or semi-aggressive setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"758\"\u003eNeed to Know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"831\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"831\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"782\"\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive and peaceful cichlid aquariums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"869\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"869\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"856\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 litres\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"904\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"904\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"894\"\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"930\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"930\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"920\"\u003epH Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5–7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"1013\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"1013\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"933\" data-end=\"961\"\u003eRecommended School Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be kept singly, as a pair, or in small groups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-peaceful; best with similarly sized, calm cichlids or robust community fish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1118\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1144\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1133\"\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–25 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a-ADh8U5W-s?si=GtxBkh2FCkPPhD1m\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Disclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll fish are usually shipped on Monday or Tuesday mornings via an overnight courier.
