Parrots losing color

Wed, 05/01/2013 - 20:35 — rudy4653

My parrots lose color, don't eat and just lay on the bottom of the tank for 3-4 days each month it seems like. When I do partial water changes every other week they come right back to life, eat like vaccums, bright orange color and very active. my water parameters are good and i keep regular water change schedule. I have a 55gal tank with 2 parrots, 2 angels, 1 featherfin catfish and 3 small dwarf red guaramies. Is the tank big enough? I feed them sinking cichlid pellets, blood worms, and flake. Any ideas?

I have my parrots for about 6 months, and are slowly learning they are picky eaters. I was feeding them small minnows, and red wigglers plus flakes, pellets. Now they are off & on about feeding on minnows? Any suggestions on live feeding would be appreciated.

Coral / Puka Shells Substrate for new 90 gallon

Tue, 04/23/2013 - 02:17 — Tamara

Love my fish and I am upgrading to a 90 gallon with wet/dry sump eith bio balls and sponge filter ( lower tank for sum is 30 gallon) and beautiful set up.

I currently have two large blood red parrots 6 years old in 46 gallon tank with bio wheel and rock substrate. I keep an extra clean tank and change water frequently.  I just want it to be a good adjustment.

 

Urgent! Please help, parrots might be sick

Hi all, I'll try to keep this brief. I think my little parrots are sick, but I'm having trouble diagnosing them, therefore I'm unsure as to what action to take. :-(

My two smaller parrots have both suddenly developed a angry-looking red streak underneath their top fin... This has happened almost overnight. One of them has had a 'cut' for a couple of days and I thought one of the other fish had perhaps nipped it... (But I found this odd, since the tank is rather placid).
