Description
The Yellow Parrot is an ornamental hybrid cichlid, offered in our freshwater range. It is suitable for well-equipped aquariums with plenty of space.
Behavior & care
As a territorial and sometimes aggressive cichlid, the Yellow Parrot is generally peaceful with tankmates of similar size and robustness. It appreciates a stable, well-filtered and well-oxygenated aquarium with many hiding places (rocks, wood, visual barriers). Provide a volume of at least 200 l for a pair or small group. Use starter bacteria and regularly check your water values with water tests.
Feeding
As an omnivore, the Yellow Parrot readily accepts flakes, pellets and frozen foods. Vary the diet (plant and animal matter) with our suitable foods to prevent obesity and support growth, coloration and vitality. In planted tanks, you can supplement when needed with aquarium fertilizers.
Water quality
- Ideal temperature: 24 – 28 °C
- pH: 6.5 – 7.5
- GH: 5 – 15 °dGH
- KH: 3 – 10 °KH
- Conductivity: 150 – 500 µS
Before adding the fish, treat the water with a water conditioner. Powerful filtration (appropriate filters) and regular maintenance (maintenance equipment) are essential to keep the water clean and stable.
Décor & environment
Use a suitable aquarium substrate and create hiding spots with rocks and driftwood. Robust natural plants can be used, but avoid very delicate species. Ensure good lighting with our aquarium lighting and complete the layout with decorations to structure the territory.
