I have 3 BP's. 2 of which have decided to shack up together for quite some time now. Lets call them Zeke&Ruth. They have been shacked up in this one particular cup. As many of you know, BP's are protective and territorial, Zeke is very protective of his Ruth and his area. Now this leaves the last BP, lets call him Titus (TT-our nickname for him). Zeke ocassionally beats the trash out of TT when he goes anywhere near his cup.
someone please help me! i recently got my second parrot fish. He'spretty agressive, and bosses my original smaller parrot around. He demands the hiding spot, and pushes my poor smaller parrot into a corner. Ive put another hiding spot into the tank, but none of them seem to want it as much as the original. My littiler fish is always in the corner now, when he used to be hyper and interactive. someone help me and tell me what i need to do to get them to leave eachother alone!

Hello =) I'm Sarah, I'm 21 years old from Georgia. I'm new to the site. I had a Parrot for 4 years who recently died as a result of me moving my tank. He was AWESOME! His name was Spike and he did all kinds of tricks and stuff. Anyway, to replace Spike I recently got another Parrot. His name is Jaws. I've had him about 3 weeks now. I have a 55 gallon tank which he has to himself with the exception of an 8" pleco who causes no trouble. Actually he kind of recruited the pleco in to his army for protection from me. I have a few questions about his behavior...
My parrot was laying on the bottom of his tank today. He is a yellow parrot with a black spot on top of his head. I don't know what kind he is. He is rubbing his sides on the rocks and cave. I have him in a 5 gallon tank because in my 55 gallon tank he was being bullied and his fins were getting damaged by them. He is a very small parrot. He is all healed now from the bully attack. I did a partial water change now he is sitting up but I noticed his back fin is locked toget
My fresh water parrot fish use to be very outgoing. She ( ? ) use to swim all over the tank&eat like a pig. I think she is just a juvinile as she does not yet have her full colors.
Now she stays close to the surface. She is not gulping for air or floating on her side.
I do know I was overfeeding her for awhile. Maybe that is the problem. But I haven't done that for days. I feed her twice a day as much as she can eat in 5 minutes. Lately that has been about 3 sticks.
Or maybe she is pregnant, if that is possible with a fish this young.
HI ! I am new to the parrot world. I just purchased a blood parrot 2 months ago and he was always hiding, which I gathered from this sight that it is normal. I have a major problem now.
So I am new to Blood Parrots and I got mine about a week ago. He is about 2 1/2 inches from beak to tail. The little guy which I named Mr. bubbles (not sure on gender) has been either hiding in the coconut hut or behind plants, swimming in the bubble curtain or for some reason hanging the around the heater and what appears to be kissing it. Is this normal behavior, I understand that that the hiding probably because he is new and shy, but what about the whole heater thing.
Hi..I have a 30g tank and 2 parrots. I'm new to aquariums and parrots as well. What is normal behavior? I wonder because one of my parrots always kind of scares me, it barely moves and stays at the bottom of the tank all the time. Moves very infrequently. Is this normal? Also, in my tank I have a house with a waterwheel ...I had a pump connected to it and it made the waterwheel turn and bubbles come out the chimney...but the parrots would not move AT all...so, I though the current they created was too much, so I tuned off that pump and they are moving a bit more.
