  • blood parrots

    I have a question about a blood parrot of mine. When we first got him he was completely black with black stripes and stayed that way for about 3months. He is perfectly healthy, eating, swimming normally etc... but he has been changing color now for the past few weeks. All the black is about halfway gone and he is changing now into a light orange color, no change in health still as strong as an ox....has anyone heard of this???? Thanks

    yes!! all four of mine just went through that and there very healthy... after the body changes to a light color so will there eyes .. like around the pupil at first is black and then it turns into the regular gold color you know the fish get.. i think they might have been dyed younger but to a more natural color

      A blood parrot fish is a combination of several fish combined via breeding to look a specific color.
      The black color comes from the "common" black convict which is part of what the fish originates from.

          A lot of colored parrots are dyed as fry the older they get the more of the dye they lose eventually returning to plain old orange
