Quick Overview
The red parrot cichlid is an aquarium fish with a rounded body and a bright color, often vivid orange or red. It is a hybrid created through breeding, which explains its unusual shape and its beak-like mouth that does not fully close. Despite its atypical appearance, it is generally peaceful and can live with other fish of similar size. This fish is appreciated for its curious behavior and its ability to recognize its owner. It requires a spacious aquarium with well-filtered water and hiding places to feel secure. Finally, its diet should be varied, including pellets, vegetables, and sometimes live food to ensure good health.
