There is a TRUE species of parrot cichlids. Hoplarchus psittacus is the original parrot cichlid. It is a large green cichlid that comes from South America. They can get to a foot long. It got its name because of its large parrot-like mouth. This fish is very rare in the hobby and has only been bred a few times.
HOWEVER, blood parrots are not related to these fish at all.
