For the Love of Blood Parrots!

Doghund · 07-10-2005, 12:19 PM

Hi, I'm new.
My favorite fish is my Black Blood Parrot and he has had so many adventures in his little five gallon world.
Dante, you see, really hates cats and tries to attack them through the glass every time he sees one. Well one day he got his chance

He actually jumped clear out of the water to bite a kittens paw. It was soooo funny!

Post your favoite blood parrot moments.

Yeah, I know. But I was originally putting a goldfish in it. I never intended to get a blood parrot at all. He was a spurr of the moment thing...

5 gallons is too small for a goldfish too. You shouldn't buy fish unless you're sure you can take proper care of them, including making sure you have the right size tank.

Look, when I got him he was the size of a quarter. 5gal. was plenty. I keep it clean, and he even has a plant to keep him busy. As soon as I get moved to my bigger room I'm putting him in a 30gal. But for now hes healthy and happy in his his 5.

I can't stress enough that people should research the fish they are going to buy. Always count in the adult size of the fish and their behaviour. There would be a lot more happier fish and fish keepers if they had researched first.
