I never could tell which was which. I just knew I had one male and one female. I knew because they would lay eggs and do the "breeding dance." Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna go to the store Friday and I'll get one. Thank you again! :)

60 gallons

I had 2 hand sized Blood Parrot Fish. One of them passed away. I want to get another one but the larger ones are $25 at Petsmart. I don't want to spend that much money on a fish. The 2 were best friends and the one left is depressed. I want to get a smaller one but I don't know if they will...

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Hey, I was wondering if it would be okay to put a male betta into my 60 gallon tropical community tank (freshwater). In the tank I have blood parrots, a blue gourami, sunburst wag platies, a pleco, and dalmatian mollies. I am doing a science experiment ( a Eco-column) with one and I don't know...

Thanks for the help Hey guys, I'd just thought I'd let you know that he is happy and healthy again. Thanks for all the help!! :)

Now that is night time, I have checked on him. Like I said, he is acting sick again. But not as bad as the last couple of nights. He is hiding in his cave with his friend (my other blood parrot). He usually is pale and his gills are a pinkish color. But that's what usually happens at night. He...

Some what. Only a little though. During today's water change I took all the decor out a rinsed them off in hot water. I did a light gravel vac through out the tank. Hopefully that will help. He seemed to be doing fine when I got done. But he is worse at night and fine during the day so I'll see...

Usually I do a water change once a week. But now that he is sick, I have done everyday for the past couple days (as directed previously)

No he doesn't have a bloated stomach and there are no white dots. He's not swimming vertical, he sits up against the tank wall vertically. Some times he'll swim on his side. I'll try giving him some peas. I have some Ich Attack, is that what u mean? I've added that as directed on the bottle. I...

I am using the API master test kit. I don't know how but I've only seen nitrates when I was cycling the tank. Like I said with my old tank, which I've had of over 2 yrs, I have never seen nitrates in that tank. Yes it was heavily planted but it was artificial plants. I've never had real plants...

I did, I bought some aquarium salt and some ich attack. They seem fine. I have done everything else I can i to cure them. I am not buying any new fish until I know for sure I have gotten rid of it. I guess I'll have to wait a few days.

Never mind, he died already. :(

I recently had a pictus catfish die due to ich. Now my blood parrot fish is acting funny. He lays on his side at the bottom of the tank, he is a pale color, and sometimes he sits vertical against some plants or under my decor. He looks fine doesn't appear to be infected with ich. And he is...

Hey, I have a pictus catfish that is full grown. Yesterday I noticed he wasn't moving around as much. Today I saw that he had white spots on him. I think it's ich. :( I raised the temp in the tank, raised the aeration in the tank and just did a water change/gravel vac. But the weird thing is...

Hey, I've had a pictus catfish for little over a year now. He is full grown and has lived by his self all his life. I'm wondering if I so buy more of them to keep him happy. I have a 60gallon tank with 2 blood parrots, and male blue gourmai, 4 dalmation mollies, 2 sunburst wag platies, and and...

@rocksor, my tank is cycled. I spent 2.5 months cycling that tank. You can read that on one of my other threads (sorry if I sounded mean). Even in the old tank the nitrites and nitrates were 0 and I had that tank for over 2 years. I had planned on buying some mollies and or platies. Do you...

Hi, I have 2 blood parrot cichlids that do nothing but hide in their cave. Is there a way I can get them to come out of hiding and swim around and just be normal fish. Occasionally they turn a pale orange color. It's not the water. pH is 7.6, ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates are all 0. I think...

Ok thanks. The gourmai isn't really all that aggressive. The parrots are a little but hence the name semi-aggressive :) I think I'll get some mollies. Thanks again for all your help!!

Hey library girl. Not to sound pushy or anything but I'm still stuck on what other fish I can by that are good top and middle level fish for my 60 gallon with 2 blood parrots that are about the size of a small hand, 3" long blue male gourmai, 4.5" long pictus catfish Thanks :)

The filter is an Aqua-tech for 20-40/30-60 gallon tank. I am gonna take out most of the plants and the bigger decor. That way they'll be comfortable. Thanks for the link. Really helped.

Hello everyone. I just moved some tropical fish to my new 60 gallon aquarium and now my 29 gallon tank is empty. My mom wants to turn it into a goldfish tank. I'm trying to figure out how to properly set one up. The tank is about 2 yrs old. I have had fish in it for as long as I've had the...

Haha that's ok librarygirl!!! :-) I have a 60 gallon with 2 blood parrots, a pictus catfish, and a blue gourmai. The blood parrots are have about a 2-3" diameter (as in they are kind big :) ), the pictus catfish is 5" long and the blue gourmai is about 3" long

Hey everyone!!! Just to give you an update my pictus catfish, gourmai, and my 2 blood parrots are loving there new home. I tired to upload a picture but I can't do it from my phone. They are very happy now they have twice the room they did before. The parrots love their cave. They go and hide...

They don't seem to mind it. I had to buy a new heater for the old tank cuz the other one broke and I haven't figured out how to adjust the temp. But I'm not gonna worry cuz I'm moving them tonight!!!!! :dance: Thanks for all your help everyone. Once I get them moved I'll post a picture. You...
