Hi, I have two parrots (Annie and Sugar) and they're both females ( both laid eggs) and they use to love eachother but 2 days ago that all changed! Sugar started pushing and attacking Annie in to the corner. I don't now why she was doing was doing this. anyone know?

Ok, here goes.....I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 Blood Parrot females, 3 Jellybean Parrots (not dyed and only reach 3-4 inches) and 1 Angel....My concern is that my dominate female will kill any fish that is pestering her..I introduced a kissing guarmai 2 days ago out of quaritine, and the kisser would not stop kissing Gimpy...my dominate girl....it would also kiss on Jack...my 2nd in charge female Blood Parrot, but would leave the rest of the fish alone!

My parrots will chase each other around the tank and then try to head butt each other when I go to feed them. What is this? Are they fighting or just a territorial thing with cichlids?

Please help,
Kolton

Hello Everyone, I'm new here but not to Parrot Fish. I've had "Cheese" for about six years. (Her buddy "Mac" passed on about a year ago) She is a big abnoxious girl of about 5". I also have two guys that were sold to me billed as "Pink Parrots." They were the size of dimes when I got them. It became quickly apparent one was going to be bigger and was beating the snot out of the other so Pinky stayed in the 55 gallon tank while Bully went into the 39 gallon.

I HAVE A PARROT, JUST ARRIVED IN THE TANK!!! I HAVE TWO LARGE ANGEL FISH AND A SILVER SHARK! WAS JUST WONDERING IF THESE FISH WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE NEW PARROT FISH OR WILL I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT MOVING THESE FISH TO NEW HOMES????

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!!!

i have an American cichlid tank and everyone was getting along well until i added two African cichlids. i have an 8" parrot (sunny) and a 3" parrot (Cher) who was the victim. i removed the younger parrot and put him/her in my community tropical tank. he is in with black skirt tetras, a pictus catfish, a dwarf gourami, and a bala shark. she is getting along fine with everyone but, she is very beat up. she hadn't changed colors yet she was still dark with black stripes but after the attack she is almost white and her fins are chewed up.

We have had our 4 parrots for a little over a month now .... up until this point all of them have been getting along real well. The one fish that was real shy isn't anymore. Anyhow, we have noticed the past few days or so, that three of our BPs have started to bully the remaining one. Anytime it goes near them, they chase it away, bite at it, etc. So, three now share a cave together (they all used too) ... and the lone ranger is in a cave by itself. They will all swim around together when its feeding time ..
