The True Parrot Cichlid, Hoplarchus psittacus, is native to the black waters of South America. They prefer soft, acidic, and very clean water, and do not tend to do well if pristine conditions are not met.True Parrots have a reputation for being notoriously difficult to spawn, lending to their rare offering in the aquarium trade. Males and females are nearly indistinguishable, both as juveniles and as adults. Juvenile specimens have camouflage coloration with dark green splotches alternating with light bands. At about 3-4 inches the fish begins to change to adult coloration, solid iridescent green.These fish require large spaces, as they reach an adult size of 10 to 13 inches. Not less than a 55 gallon tank is recommended for juveniles. The tank should be decorated with plenty of wood and other cover as they tend to be timid. They can also be finicky eaters, but will benefit from a varied offering of foods like spirulina, krill, cichlid pellets, and frozen foods as well.

Complete nutrition for your fish. Highly digestible formula contains high levels of carotenoids, krill, and spirulina algae to aide with color enhancing, muscle growth, and ease of digestibility.Feed fish 2-3 times daily, as much as your fish can eat within three minutes (example: feed one crisp per one-inch fish per feeding).

A high level of dried krill and shrimp, along with natural attractants and carotenoids, ensure that your large carnivorous fish receive outstanding nutrition as well as enhancing their natural pink to orange-red colors. Meets the dietary requirements of cichlids, piranhas, lionfish, triggerfish and more. The sticks soften quickly to allow complete digestion, and uneaten particles are ideal for bottom-feeders like catfish. Feed as much as your fish will consume within several minutes, 2 to 3 times per day.
