lol yeah we have a huge buffet here and they have around 15 or more fully grown parrots in a 75g-ish tank.

Look at the bright side, at least they can help each other turn around.

lol how big does each individual fish get?

 

[jetajockey]

That was a joke, but they looked to be around 5"x7" or so.

WELL... once those parrots get full grown they might have to clean water up on the floor bc there will be lots of fighting.

I dunno, it seems to work out when you pack them in like sardines. They are too jammed up to establish territories. I don't know for sure since I don't watch their tanks all the time but I know that they've had them that way for years.

Blood parrots don't know what aggression is, they peaceful and shy.
