Freshwater Tri Colour Koi Angelfish can grow quite large, so larger aquarium is recommended to thrive. The brightness of an angelfish’s colouring depends on its mood and stress levels. When angelfish are stressed or asleep, they can appear pale, or duller in colour. Healthy, well-nourished angelfish living in ideal water conditions will display vibrant colours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAngelfish are popular among aquarists because of their unique arrowhead bodies and flowing fins. Although angelfish are usually peaceful, angel fish can be prone to prey upon small fish if they can fit them in their mouth, and odd fits of aggression amongst themselves or with fish of a similar size, especially during breeding season, although this aggression is commonly not fatal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAngelfish are native to tropical South America, including most of the Amazon water system in French Guiana, Brazil, Guyana, Columbia, and Peru. Angelfish are commonly found in slow-moving streams, floodplains, and swamps, in warm, acidic freshwater. Angelfish are active, mid-level swimmers in an aquarium, weaving in and out of aquarium plants, and are diurnal - meaning that they’re more active during the day than at night. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre Tri Colour Angel Fish aggressive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAngelfish can be described as mildly aggressive but are generally peaceful. With enough space to claim their own territory, angelfish are peaceful, but when housed with too many fish of their kind or of a similar size, angelfish fight and peck to defend their space or claim a breeding partner.\r\n\r\nAlthough angelfish form schools, angel fish are not sociable and rarely interact with one another. It must be pointed out however that angelfish are less aggressive than other American cichlids and are very unlikely to bully or fatally attack other fish species in the aquarium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApprox. supplied size: 1-2\" \/ 3-5cm\u003cbr\u003eMaximum size: 6\" \/ 15cm\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: South America\u003cbr\u003eIdeal number kept together: 2+\u003cbr\u003eTemperament: Generally peaceful, occasional aggression\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur conditions: pH 7.5 temp 24°C\u003cbr\u003eIdeal pH: 6.0–7.5\u003cbr\u003eHardness: 4-12 dGH\u003cbr\u003eIdeal temperature: 23–28°C\u003cbr\u003eLighting: moderate to high\u003cbr\u003eWater flow: low to moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEase of Care\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eModerate.

These fish are a hybrid fish species that was first created in Taiwan around 1986.\r\n\r\nThe exact species used to create the Blood Parrot Cichlid are not known, but many think that the Redhead Cichlid (Paraneetroplus synspilus) and Midas Cichlid (Amphilophus citrinellus) are the parent species.\r\n\r\n \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlood red Parrot Cichlids, when small, may present as a pale, pinkish colour, which will develop into a deep red as they mature and grow into adulthood. Parrot Cichlids are active swimmers and will grow to an adult size of around 8 inches, they require a fairly large aquarium with lots of space to swim. A larger aquarium of at least 100-350 litres is recommended, particularly if keeping in groups. Parrot Cichlids can be quite shy, so plenty of driftwood or hiding spaces is recommended. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre Blood Red Parrot Cichlid's aggressive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlood Red Parrot fish are not considered to be an aggressive cichlid. They are rarely bullied, because of their size, but also possess very little capability to attack. They are quite large and cumbersome, slow-swimming, and have small mouths, which limits its likeliness to attack other fish species in the aquarium. Blood Red Parrot Cichlids make ideal tankmates for other similar-sized peaceful fish, but care must be taken not to house with any fish small enough to be considered food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre Blood Red Parrot Cichlids artificially dyed colours?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile it is true that in many countries, the parrot cichlid has been artificially dyed into vibrant blue, red and purple colours, the practice is generally considered cruel and is not one we support. The natural colour of Parrot Cichlid's is a pigment affected by the blood circulating in the fish, and is often a blood red, lighter red\/pink, grey, orange or yellow shades. Platinum or white Parrot Cichlids are also common, and it is often these that are used as a base fish for coloured dye.
