    Talking All grown up

    And definitely the most "attentive" fish in the tank lol, so nosy! Turned out to be 3 males and 1 female white dwarf parrots. Picked them up a few months ago as just itty bitty little things. The "alpha" male has got quite the face and body on him now - I think he might even be starting to develop a hump??? The pair lays eggs every couple of weeks that hatch but someone always gets them in the night at that point, might be worth setting up a separate tank for this pair.

    Big male:









    Pretty female:





    One of the smaller males"

    I recently picked up four of these from Doug for a friend of mine, they are just lovely... My friend wants more. But she needs some females as it seems like all four are males

    I think the brightly coloured smaller one is the female - like in convict cichlids? (who I think make up part of this hybrid's past?)

    I could be wrong tho, I have also not found much info.

    These are a cross between gold severums and balloon pink convicts, so yes the orange and pink ones ARE female and the larger white/pink ones are male. Somewhere along the line this got confused.
