Gills Hobbyist Posts: 53 Kudos: 41 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-May-2004	My dad wants to put a parrot in his aquarium. Is that ok to put with tropical fish such as bala sharks, silver dollars, zebra danios, an angel fish, red tail shark, and a pleco? Thanks

Start with a small one, 1 inch - 2 inchs, so it wouldnt chase your other fishes. Usually, blood parrots are pretty harmless and not so aggressive, it will just hold it's territory. Edit: Oh yea, depends on the size of the aquarium too. [span class="edited"][Edited by inkodinkomalinko 2004-08-11 15:03][/span]

If you have a large enough tank to support the fish, the parrot can go in the tank, as long as the others are not full grown.

I would recommend he fixes his current stocking problems before taking on new fish. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.
