Parrot Cichlids LOVE houses! They will make a house out of just about anything, but they prefer one with 2 entrances, a front and back door, or at the very least a door and window. They like to hide, but they also like to peer out and see what is going on. Curiosity and caution are present in equal amounts in many parrot cichlids, so they need the security of having their own little private place.
Excellent Parrot Cichlid houses are made from easily obtained objects. Unglazed flowerpots, tank ornaments like castles, ships, caves are all good choices. My parrots are quite big, so I use ceramic kleenex-box covers.
