True Parrot Cichlid Hoplarchus Psittatus 10cm
Overview
The True Parrot Cichlid, scientifically known as Hoplarchus Psittacus, is a vibrant and unique freshwater fish that adds a splash of color and character to any aquarium. This species, reaching up to 5cm in juvenile size, is renowned for its striking greenish-blue body and vivid red eyes, mimicking the appearance of a parrot. Perfect for aquarists seeking an exotic addition to their tank, the True Parrot Cichlid thrives in a well-maintained environment that mimics its natural habitat.
Origin
Native to the Amazon Basin in South America, the True Parrot Cichlid is found in slow-moving rivers and floodplain areas. This fish prefers environments with plenty of cover and vegetation, replicating these conditions in the home aquarium is essential for their wellbeing.
Feeding
The True Parrot Cichlid is omnivorous with a preference for a varied diet that includes both plant-based and meaty foods. A mix of high-quality cichlid pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms, and vegetable matter will ensure a balanced diet that promotes vibrant coloration and healthy growth.
Tank Mates
Being relatively peaceful for a cichlid, the True Parrot Cichlid can coexist with a variety of tank mates. Ideal companions include similarly sized and tempered South American cichlids, larger tetras, and catfish. Avoid overly aggressive species or much smaller fish that could be seen as prey.
Aggression
While the True Parrot Cichlid is generally more peaceful than other cichlids, it can show territorial behavior, especially during breeding. Providing ample space, hiding spots, and visual barriers in the aquarium can help minimize aggression.
Experience Level
The True Parrot Cichlid is suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Keeping this species requires attention to water quality, diet, and tank setup to replicate their natural habitat and minimize stress.
Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 26-30°C (79-86°F)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 5-15 dGH
Maintaining stable water conditions within these parameters is crucial for the health and wellbeing of the True Parrot Cichlid. Regular water changes, filtration, and monitoring of water chemistry are essential practices for any aquarist looking to keep this stunning species.

My Golden Loves

My 8 month old Golden Retriever loves these. It is also one of the few products she cannot destroy. They smell as described and she loves to chew them and play fetch when. She can chew these easily without destroying them. Overall good value for the money for my Golden

If they squeaked, they would be the perfect ball!
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
I bought our 15 month old Coton several Chuck-It toys on an Amazon deal. He is incredibly playful, mischievous, and ball/toy obsessed, especially for anything that makes noise. He can also be very destructive so I love how durable most of their products are - they’re among our longest lasting toys and worth every penny. We have yet to take them to the dog park, but they’re a perfect size for sharing in plat time. And they are keeping him busy at home - that’s a good thing. The scent is subtle but strong enough for him I guess because he loves gnawing on them. If they had squeakers, they would be absolutely perfect. Hopefully Chuck-It will see an opportunity for that down the road!

Most durable fetch balls I know of.
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
These balls are the biggest balls of them all. Well, not the biggest, but the best. Every other ball she would chew up in short order and I'd be throwing her a floppy piece of rubber. She just wants to fetch, but if it's not bouncing, she can't catch it on the bounce. Got these balls in July and no damage to them. I just ordered another pair, but only because the other two somehow got stuck up in trees. We have some very old and very large oak trees so not so easy to retrieve. Hope they somehow drop someday. But in the meantime, Lassie will be happy with her new ones. Very highly recommended!
