Identification

[BWII]

Can someone tell me what exactly this is? Probably a hybrid of some sort but I picked a couple up at my local shop and their tank was labeled "parrots".

Thanks!

Looks like a blood parrot cichlid to me. It is a hybrid, but a pretty common one. A quick google search should help you learn more about them.

Looks like a Gold severum

To me looks like his face looks more like a blood parrot than a severum to me...

Could be wrong, though. Also thought it made more sense since the tank was labeled parrots.

Looks like a Gold severum

The lips stick out a little too much to be a Gold Severum, although I can definitely see where you're coming from!

Maybe another pic?

Sorry for the delay! Still got them though, here's a few more pics...

















Pretty sure at this point they r blood parrot cichlid hybrids... Like a cross between a convict and a blood parrot or something like that, I did my research... I appreciate all of the feedback!

Almost look like kissing gouramis

 

[okapizebra]

Definitely not a kissing gourami. Looks too tall to be one.

I can't seem to decide whether I think it's a severum or a parrot. Kinda looks like a cross between one... lol. Has more of the body of a severum, but the mouth of a parrot.

Cant tell, on my small screen!

Short bodied pink Amatitlania nigrofasciata, well sort of. They are hybrids, basically a pink convict and a blood parrot crossed...aka jelly bean parrot.
