What size tank and what is the filtration? What is your water change and feeding like? What type of plecs are they?

Here's a pic of both of them. One does have to spots like the other one does. I named them Bonnie and Clyde.
 
Parrots should be in a group 2 or more. I have yellow labs with mine and they do great!
 
Parrots do not have to be in pairs, and two common plecos in a 80 is overstocked. They can grow 2 feet long and need about 150g just for those two. I would try to find them better homes. Also, I see you have a redtail, that's a good start for the blood parrot. Blood parrots can be aggressive, so depending on your individual fish you can keep anything from tetras to South American cichlids. If you got rid of the plecos you could do a bushy nose Pleco, a firemotuh cichlid, and a school of tiger barbs.
 
Only thing my lfs says give with nothing in return. I will start looking for a 200 gallon setup. Thanks. Also my parrot will follow u if u go by and charge at the glass.
