True Parrot Cichlid

The True Parrot Cichlid is a striking hybrid fish prized for its vibrant coloration and distinctive rounded body shape. These intelligent cichlids display bold reds, oranges, and yellows with occasional black markings, making them a captivating centerpiece for established aquariums. They thrive in warm, well-maintained tanks with plenty of hiding spaces and require a minimum 55-gallon setup. True Parrot Cichlids are moderately aggressive and best kept singly or in pairs, as they can be territorial with other fish.
