This captivating collection of freshwater fish are Blood Parrot Cichlids, a popular hybrid species developed for the ornamental fish trade. Their striking, plump bodies and small, downturned mouths are instantly recognizable. They are not found in the wild, as they are a crossbreed, likely from species like the Midas and Redhead Cichlids. In this group, you can see a variety of color morphs, from the soft, rosy pinks to a more striking pale yellow. These color variations are a result of selective breeding and are a primary reason for their popularity. They are known to be peaceful and social fish, often schooling together. Their unique appearance and gentle demeanor make them a favored choice for many home aquariums.
