And frsakgecko I said they get to be around the same size give or take an inch or two and my sources say a blue acara get up to 8" so....... oh and never said they weren't in the same family but a gt is not a blue acara just to beclear on what I originally meant
I have a wild caught, female aequidens pulcher that begs to differ. At 5", she's nowhere near the size of even a female GT...NOT 8"...
And yes, blood parrots are an abomination that have no place in the hobby. period. They are humans way of playing god by creating a creature that is horribly deformed for our own entertainment because they're "cute"...it's absurd, asinine, and ridiculous.
Quit throwing out the whole "research" card. HUKIT is one of the best New world keepers I've ever had the fortune to meet (even if just through a forum and emailing) and 5x5 is right up there with him. Learn to fight your battles. All three of us know what blood parrots are.
And let's just say that the oscar flips a switch on the BP and fights it. Who do you think will win? A marvelously well-constructed creature of nature, or a deformed hybrid that can't even close its mouth?
Well played HUKIT!
And just a tip, i wouldn't question the knowledge of HUKIT, 5x5, Mogurako, Garfy, or Cbourg. They all know what they're talking about
