I know the BP is a hybrid....I was just saying that I thought they would like a real meal. I love the warm environment that I encounter every time I visit here. There are never condescending attitudes and people always give answers that actually help. It's so nice.

Well then! I have the pellets, flakes, and also freeze dried worms. They are fed 2x a day and they are insatiable. I just thought that since they would be eating live fish in the wild it wouldn't hurt them in my tank. I didn't know about the liver disease. Thanks for the advice I didn't even...

Hi everyone! I have 2 Blood Parrots and 1 African. They are all doing well in the almost 2 months I've had them. They have moved on to eating small Goldfish and I am not sure how often I should get live fish and what other fish they may like. I tried asking the salesperson when I got the Gold...

Okay that's comforting. I don't know how much longer I can wait though. I want to give CL a chance but I have 3 cichlids in a 10 gallon....(Please don't yell at me). I've been snowed in the house for the past few days. Once it gets better I may just have to take the hour drive to Cheyenne...

Yeah I can imagine the risks in shipping a tank. I'm confused as to if I order one brand new, will I have to assemble it or not? I'm a little scared to assemble one myself.

Thanks for the tip. I put in my zip and they gave me results for Hong Kong lol. I'm not giving up though, worst case scenario is I'll have to buy a new one. Anyone on here wanting to sell one?

I'm going to try to wait it out at least a few weeks. Ebay was a bust as well. I saw great deals but no one did shipping. All the tanks that were perfect for my babies were "local pick-up only". How annoying when you live in Wyoming...

I saw the Aeon tank kit online at petco.com and it had great reviews too. That's the one I was leaning towards. I haven't looked on Ebay. My only apprehension about doing Ebay is what happens if I get a tank and it's totally busted? Am I allowed to send it back or do I just file a complaint...

Oh wow I didn't think about Craigs list. I'm going to check that out because I really need a tank. :)

I am so exasperated! I was supposed to buy a 55 gallon tank this past week but there aren't any vendors within reasonable distance that I can go to purchase one. So I have been looking online for one to order and I am so confused because there are tons of tanks and tons of reviews on the tanks...

My Gold fish died. I now have an empty 1.5 gallon bowl that is kind of useless. If I had an honest person selling me the fish I wouldn't have bought them. I feel bad that once I found out what they needed it was too late. My only comfort are my Cichlids. They are striving and I have learned in a...

You fought sharks??? Maybe you should stay away from the wildlife.... Oh lol I am a newbie here but I thought in order to have a shark you need one of those in house aquariums that hold like 1000 gallons?

I had to stake out my tank for ever to get this footage! My Blood Parrot Tropicana finally decides to swim out in the open while I was watching. My other Blood Parrot (the lighter one) Sunset, is a little beat up because she insists on going in Tropicana's cave. Finally my Convict Punch is in...

Thanks for your response Krissy. Looks like I'm going on a shopping for a bigger tank. I just thought that I didn't need a bigger one until they got bigger. But I'm learning just how fast they grow. I just did a water change and Tropicana (shy one) came out of her little cave and she was visibly...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!! To answer your questions: I set my tank up February 7, 2011. I did a 25% water change on the 12th because I got freaked when I tested the water and it tested high with nitrates for some reason. My tank is a 10 gallon starter. it's sitting at 76 but I turned...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for the past 2 weeks but decided to join tonight. I am a new mom to 3 Cichlids. 2 are blood parrots and the other is a Convict. I got my tank over 2 weeks ago and I only had 1 Blood Parrot and my Convict. I felt that my Blood Parrot needed a companion based...
