Posted	True wild parrot!!
02-06-2007 18:02 by Derek S	I just bought a true wild parrot from my LFS for 20 quid..it's about 4-5 inches and has great colouration...i hav done my research and know that this fish is extreamly rare.I just want to know if anyone on here has any experiance with them and are they as rare as ive read?
02-06-2007 18:08 by Linda Chenapa	Sorry to disapoint you but there is no such thing as a 'true wild parrot'. They are not found in the wild as they are an artificial hybrid.
02-06-2007 18:08 by Linda Chenapa	Check out this site. http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/parrotci.htm

02-06-2007 18:23 by Derek S	Yep linda that is what i mean lol i know the difference between the hybrid orange skittle one.i have got the hoplarchus psittacus..do u have one of these??
02-06-2007 19:33 by darren	Hi Derek, These are not that rare now as a lot of lfs are getting them in,they can attain 16-18" for males and 12-14" for females Can be quite territorial when breeding but will mix with other south american cichlids in a large enough tank,150 gallons+ They take around three years to mature,there are two varients but the best by far are the Brazillian type,darker with much more red colouration HTH
02-06-2007 19:41 by Derek S	Up here in scotland it's the first time i've ever seen on of these so i snapped it up!!
