A club for owners of Parrot Cichlids

We have been experiencing some technical issues on all my sites lately, so there have been times when you can't get to the site. If you have problems getting here, please email me at parrotcichlidgirl@parrotcichlid.com and I'll get it back online quickly. I apologize for the problems, but this one is fairly difficult to fix.

Hi, I'm new to all this, including posting. I have had a BP for almost 3 months now and I have finally managed to balance the water. It is a 10 gal tank and only 1 BP. Did a water change about 4 days ago but today the water is cloudy. could this be due to the extream temps and humidity in Ga? It almost looks like condensation. water temp is about 76-80. What should I do next?

I don't know if this is a stupid question, but what exactly are the points for that are tallied up every time one posts to the forum? I get an email congratulating me but I don't know why ...... Just curious ....

also, how the hell do i get more than one oscar together, either they fight to the death ( i dont let them do this)

or one is totally dominant

i have a 12" yellow oscar

a red and white 7" oscar

and a red oscar (aprox. 4")

all in different tankes

the red oscar is in a 2 gallon!!!???!!!

but its ok, i'm moving it soon

i want to try and keep them all together at some stage

thank you

ONe of my bp's has got alot of spots on its face, they are like human spots, the skin around it goes an angry red and the spots are white, i lost one blood parrot out of the 8 i have recently, i dont know if it was due to that, as i only rescued them out of a tank recently, but i was wondering if it was some sort of fungus, and am worried it could pass on to the others,

i have a 120 gallon tank with

7 bp's
1 oscar
1 clown loach
2 corydorus
1 cichlid
1 barracuda
2 plecostomus

and am soon to add

1-2 oscars
3 gold severum
1 green severum

maybe an arowana

Well, we had 4 Giant Danios with our 4 Bps - and now there are 3. This morning there were 4 ..... could/would one of my BPs have eaten it? Why? We cannot find either the fish or a part of the fish -- we searched the entire tank. Meanwhile, everyone else is happy and swimming around ........

I have 2 parrots for 5 years. Just yesterday they started to not eat and just hang out at the top of the tank staring at themselves in the reflection of the top water. When I come by they do swim around to greet me, then head back up to the top. As you all know, they love to eat and I can't figure out way they have stopped. Their colour is still there, they have no white spots.... I did a 10 gallon water change (I have a 60 gallon tank) and will do another one tomorrow... What is going on? Is female pregnant? Is it just a stage?

The short end of my tank has an algae problem, its end is facing a window and gets the sunlight, I cannot move it anywhere else ,its also where the filter and heater sits.
