| Posted | Looking for tank mates for frontosa and blood parrots |
| 10-02-2007 12:17 by SomethingFishy |
Hi i look after a 4 Foot tank in my works reception area.
It is stocked with 2 frontosa and 3 bloodparrots (I know there hybrids and the horrific treatment some of them receive) i didnt buy them my boss thought they where cute, which they are  there are also a small school of clown loaches and a small gold spot plec
I am looking to find other suitable tank mates and have tried a few out with no success (tried various malawies and small mbuna) the aggression is allways the problem the parrots just dont fight back and just subdue then get get bullied. Any ideas anyone. |

You could try to get a few more frontosa, as they like to be in colonys or groups and i've got 3 frontosa with malawis. |

id remove the fronts and add some more parrots as my relatives have lots and they look really nicein bigger groups(go with about 6-7) |

which malawis do you keep them with i have had a few and and am growing some young ones up in my 4 foot in the living room with my favourite pair (who are the only peacefull ones i have had to date) there known in the family as gas and electric or the duel fuel pair lol
but the kids would hae me if i moved them
btw the dolphin in the pic was adopted by them after i rescued him from another tank after being abused by a fish i now call asbo Melonicromis aururatis killed 1 another lost an eye 3rd was adopted by gas and electric hehe |
