BLood parrot ot local petstore

OK so theres been this little blood parrot for sale at our lfs for the past 6 months. Its been attacked a couple of times so they moved it to a ten gallon tank about 4 months ago and it has been living in that ever since. We have noticed oer the past 4 months that almost every two weeks or so it is getting cheaper and cheaper. Amanda has really grown attached to it and we were wondering now that we have a 25 gallon tank that is empty could it live in there.
We really want to try and save it. I think that it would be better for it in a 25 gallon then the 10 gallon even though it should have a 30 gallon. It is so small its only about 3-4".
What do you think.

I think like 29 gallons would barely be enough for two parrots. They grow to be large, but not to long...6 or 7 inches.
Make sure and get yourself some good filtration and you will do allright.

 

20 gal is miniumum for a single blood parrot, they kinda like convicts. A 25 gallon would definatly be ok. Try to get a filter with at least 100 gph

 

Trickster is beating me to everything.. yep should be fine but make sure that yopu have a good filter as already mentioned. - tl

 

Good for u!!!! mabe need a bigger tank.

.....Azn..... wtf.....

 

lol, i think he meant to say Bigger, not the other word.

 

ok azn i have been back to this forum for 2 days and already see that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and you have a pretty big mouth. You better watch what you say, because there are alot of young children that read these pages. Thank You - tl

 

he meant bigger.....this one spelling mistake i guess you can understand because B is right next to N on the keyboard.

 

But wut an offensive spelling mistake that is,

 

My young mind is slowly being tainted by the things ive been reading on THIS site

 

Lets stop fighting and get back to the topic at hand... Blood parrot??

 

I think a blood parrot would be fine in a 25gallon tank. Get a really good filter like AC300. When ever i set up a tank my goal is to make it so that GPH is 10x the tank size.
My 20gallon has a ac200
and my 55gallon has an ac500

 

what m_wm said sounds right ont o me i do the same thing. :lol: - tl
