I have just one BloodParrot in my tank and i don't have any other fish in the tank.I didn't done any decorations in the tank. i have just a shell of a snail,a little power filter(but it makes my water crystal clear),a 150 watt heater and some very small pieces of gravel in the tank and my tank size is just 18 by 12 inch is it enough room for him?

Where to find a good tank?

Wed, 09/10/2008 - 22:19 — Kolton

I currently have my parrots in a 10 gallon which I know is too small. I was told that the 10 would be ok until I read more about them. I am now planning on a new tank and would like some suggestions for a cheap, preferably new aquarium and what size I should get. I have two and a pleco now and want to add some small fish also.

Thanks in advance,
Kolton

Mon, 10/15/2007 - 20:27 — MybestfriendisaBP

I think i need a bigger tank cuss i have a 29 gallon with 3 bp 's and 1 black convict the two small bp 's are 3 inches both the big one is 41/2.Heres there health status the big one has long pretty spotless fins with nice smooth running gills that never stop running good.The two little ones are the same just they dont stick out there fins as much and they dont seem to like swimming when i put my hand in the little ones use it as a bed to rest in,And the big one bites my hand looking for food(witch the little cute bp 's do to:)AWWW)Heres the fun part the big one will jump 6 inches into the air
