Re: Blood Parrots anyone?
I've kept them bofore, a breeding pair in fact but the eggs were always sterile. Best this do do if you want to breed them is to get two adults, and the larger the tank they're in the more likely it is for them to breed, and for the frys ultimate success, don't keep any other fish with them apart from mabye other smaller parrots.
If you want a successful breeding pair then best to get an adult group and let them chose their own partners, gradually decrease the adult numbers by getting rid of the subordinates without mates and breed the remaininf one or two pairs.

If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).
I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
