Mr. Bubbles

Hello!

Hello! I am a recent purchaser of my very first blood parrots.  The first is Calypso, who is a purple Jellybean. the second, is a adolescent blood parrot, by the name of Davy Jones. I bought Calyspo first because i felt bad that the other BP's were picking on it, plus my favorite color happens to be purple, so i bought it. I know almost nothing about BP's but because of what I learned on the internet, i now know that Calypso will probably die soon cuz it's a dye-injected fish. I hope it doesn't cuz Calypso is a really nice fish.

Puppy Fish!!!

This is the first place Ive seen these fish called Puppy Fish!  And it fits! I have 2 BP's, Adam&Eve, with 3 tankmates, in a 40 gal tank. They luv to give you the puppy-dog eyes and beg for food. They know the difference between Friends and Strangers! (They wont beg from someone they dont know!)  They will take food from my son's hand but not mine? They eat just about anything they think they can fit into their mouths. They redecorate the entire tank on a regular basis- but if they are mad at Spot(Eclipse Catfish), they will move gravel from under his "House" until it falls over!

Lucky

My first fish was a red tailed shark and he was lovely and lived to a grand old age of 17.  I then bought two parrot fish.

My shark and the smallest parrot fish died after my air filter pump stopped working one weekend whilst away but the biggest parrot fish survived which was touch n go for a while and he has now had a name change to Lucky.

Noses??

I was looking closly at my BPs and i saw they had little holes in their face like where a nose should be. Is this normal? What are they there for?

Help please! Many questions!!

OK so i know i have been posting a lot og questions but i have a lot of them. So i am going to put more then one in this post. Here is the genral info...
5BPs-2 are 3-4inches and 3 are 2-3ish inches I have a 60 gallon tank. Yes i know i will need a bigger one i the future but they are not all thay big yet and there is plenty of room. I have 1 angel that is done growing and she is very small about medium to small sized both parents were small. I have 2 pleco, 1 clow louch, and a bottom feeder that i can't remember the name of. Oh and 2 rosey barbs.

Q.1

Still has baby brown on him

OK ao i have 2 BPs. They are about 1 1/2 years old. One is compleatly orange and one still has his baby brown color on his head. I have heard of some BPs that never loose that. Is that true or will it go away? I think it is kind of cool but is he a slow color chager? He is the bigger of the 2.

Thanks
