blood parrot cichlid attack

our 7 year old fish starting laying eggs about 3 months ago. Unfortunatly there is no male to fertilize them. I feel bad for her but she is so big I can't even put anymore fish with her. She fiercly protects these eggs to the point that the only surviving fish can't eat so we have to remove them.

Get a bigger tank, people like you make me sick - how would you like to be kept locked up in one room all your life.

@jenko740 "People like us make you sick?" Listen Jack-ass, F.Y.I shortly after this video which was three years ago we re homed our fish because we have a friend with a 75 gallon tank with only 4 other fish in it and that is where this fish lived out the rest of her life. She got that big very quickly because we lost some fish and it was only her and the Gourammi so she got big VERY quickly. I am an animal lover who donates to WSPA, Humane Society, Defenders of Wildlife, Foster Parrots and Peta.

hey i have a question is it ok to put cichlids in my 10 gallon aquarium???

[nitwit39]

@epicguy1231000 I don't think so, thats a 37 gallon with 1 cichlid and it seemed too small.

im gonna be honest with you is a very nice blood parrot unfortunately im sorry you kinda look you're showing off blood parrots dont bite is just aggression they cant close their mouths it is bcz of their genetics so why all that shit about taking the rocks fast and look like you were treating with some shark/crocodile in there?

[nitwit39]

@kikefaris Well, I don't know how big you think this parrot is, but she was at least 8 inches around and 2 inches thick. She was about 8 when this video took place.  And although she couldn't close her mouth she came at you hard and absolutely DID have some kind of scratchy teeth when she hit. It was more of a shock than anything.

@Gh1d3y well, think about it, Cichlids get big! Parrots grow up to 8", which is pretty big. Now, a 37 gallon for a parrot is a bit small, like a 55 will make it much happier! A 40 gallon for parrots, 2 could live there.

@Diamondcolored their nice looking fish. Even though that they have deform mouths, they really look beautiful with the Orange. They wobble like a gold fish, they have a great personality with Owners and are really peaceful, great for a nice friend for a Oscar or a Jack Dempsey ;D

God I hate parrot fish, I got 3 of those deformed fishes in my 210 gallon I bought last summer, and I can't believe how much they cost too but they have only been around for like 25 years though. But I'm glad you didnt breed that fish they have a huge inbreed problem with them and they have a tuff time eating food.

I just don't think people should support breeding an animal that doesn't belong out in the real world. Thumbs up for have your fish lay eggs though that's cool

Can blood parrot cichlids bite?

[Hotlips4000isback]

When taking out the rock from the tank, why not separate the fish with a perspex partition in the tank, or a fish net, so that you can do what you need, without getting attacked by the fish? :/.......

@nitwit39 But That Is A 37 tall I feel it would be ok because the blood parrot wouldnt grow tht large in a 10 gallon tank
