South America Length: Up to 6 inches Water Temperature: 74 to 83f If you are an avid fish breeder, you know what the angelfish is all about. If not, boy are you missing out!

Blood Red Parrot Cichlid, a Hybrid Cichlid   The Blood Red Parrot cichlid is an odd ball man made Hybrid that has stirred quite a bit of controversy in the fish world but has gained a huge popularity with many.

They are very compatable for a community tank as they are peaceful, curious and they interact well with their fish keepers once they get to know you.
