Well this person I know whats a blood parrot and a cichlid tank mate.... Problem is I have honestly no idea what these things need. She said she wants a fish with personality and doesn't get the "hump" on his head. Yeah so I'm a little stuck on what exactly can go with these things. Help is really appreciated.
 
How big is the tank it will go in?

Some possible tank mates (depending on size of tank)

Oscar
Firemouth
Convict Cichlid
Jack Dempsey
Green Terror
Severum
Salvini
Texas Cichlid
Silver Dollar

I am not a fan of parrots personally so am no expert.
 
Is the blood parrot the centerpiece of the tank?

What size tank are we talking about?
 
I would say severum or angel fish, and maybe some boesemani rainbow fish as dithers
 
Ok thanks I never really like these not because they are hybirds but ugly as sin lol

I think the blood parrots won't last with these fishs on your list they're to aggresive.

Most of these males develop a hump
