Some hobbyists believe this is the best way to care for discus even though it is not as aesthetically pleasing. Having no substrate allows the tank to be easily cleaned from faeces and rotting debris. This is a sure way to keep the water quality stable and immaculate. When breeding Discus it is highly recommended to put them into a bare bottomed tank.

Once they hit 4-5\" their growth slows further. They typically can live anywhere from 5 - 15 years depending on the care given to them and other genetic factors. When Blood Parrots are small they may show a tan\/brown body color with black spots near the tail.

A smaller pellet size should be used due to their mouths. Recommended pellet brands are Hikari Cichlid or New Life Spectrum Cichlid\/Cichlasoma Formula 1 - 3mm depending on the size of the fish. Feeding can sometimes be tricky as some have more deformed mouths than others or gill curl or other gill deformities. If the Parrot has trouble feeding from the surface then it is recommended to switch to a sinking pellet. Thawed shelled peas should be fed once a week to add roughage to the diet to help prevent Swim Bladder problems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eSocial Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eBlood Parrots, especially when young, can be very shy and reclusive. Its typical for them to hide when you first bring them home to hide and\/or be very skittish and can take a few weeks for them to adjust to their new surroundings. Some ways for you to help them adjust is to make sure they have several hiding spots and adding some dither fish. Removing hiding spots will only make them more shy and could take longer for them to adjust. Blood Parrots like all Central American Cichlids are territorial and not typically suitable for small community fish. If it fits in their mouth or close then they will try to eat it. Given the proper tank Blood Parrots typically get along fine with most Central and Southern American Cichlids although large overly aggressive cichlids should be avoided as tankmates or house with caution. Due to Blood Parrots deformed mouths they cannot cause much damage to other fish although recently low quality Blood Parrots are being produced to sell at cheaper prices that do not have the deformed mouth and they can do damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eHealth Issues \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eStress Spots: This is usually mistaken for Neascus (Black spot disease). Blood Parrots sometimes get Stress Spots which are black splotches on the body or fins and this is caused by stress. This is typically present you bring them home but can also show up when in cases of shyness, bullying, breeding, illness, or sometimes nothing at all. The splotches will usually disappear after awhile once the problem is taken care of.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e*********************************************************\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" size=\"6\" color=\"#ff0010\" style=\"color: #ff0010; font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ex25 ASSORTED AFRICAN CICHLID 1\" Each\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" size=\"6\" color=\"#ff0010\" style=\"color: #ff0010; font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e*HAND PICK AFRICAN CICHLIDS SM\/MD SIZE \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eThey will be scooped out our holding tanks. \u003cspan color=\"#ff0010\" style=\"color: #ff0010;\"\u003eWe cannot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff0010\" style=\"color: #ff0010;\"\u003eguarantee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#ff0010\" style=\"color: #ff0010;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewe will be able to scoop ALL different types, but we will try to get a good variety. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size: 30 gallons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eCare Level: Easy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eThe African cichlids contain some of the most colorful of all freshwater fishes.

A smaller pellet size should be used due to their mouths. Recommended pellet brands are Hikari Cichlid or New Life Spectrum Cichlid\/Cichlasoma Formula 1 - 3mm depending on the size of the fish. Feeding can sometimes be tricky as some have more deformed mouths than others or gill curl or other gill deformities. If the Parrot has trouble feeding from the surface then it is recommended to switch to a sinking pellet. Thawed shelled peas should be fed once a week to add roughage to the diet to help prevent Swim Bladder problems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eSocial Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eBlood Parrots, especially when young, can be very shy and reclusive. Its typical for them to hide when you first bring them home to hide and\/or be very skittish and can take a few weeks for them to adjust to their new surroundings. Some ways for you to help them adjust is to make sure they have several hiding spots and adding some dither fish. Removing hiding spots will only make them more shy and could take longer for them to adjust. Blood Parrots like all Central American Cichlids are territorial and not typically suitable for small community fish. If it fits in their mouth or close then they will try to eat it. Given the proper tank Blood Parrots typically get along fine with most Central and Southern American Cichlids although large overly aggressive cichlids should be avoided as tankmates or house with caution. Due to Blood Parrots deformed mouths they cannot cause much damage to other fish although recently low quality Blood Parrots are being produced to sell at cheaper prices that do not have the deformed mouth and they can do damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eHealth Issues \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eStress Spots: This is usually mistaken for Neascus (Black spot disease). Blood Parrots sometimes get Stress Spots which are black splotches on the body or fins and this is caused by stress. This is typically present you bring them home but can also show up when in cases of shyness, bullying, breeding, illness, or sometimes nothing at all.

This fish provides us with a glimpse into the past. It is one of only a few living examples of our ancient prehistoric world of the Jurassic age. Its scientific name is derived from the Greek terms \"Osteoglossum\" which means \"bone-tongued\" and \"bicirrhosum\" which means \"two barbels\". So basically this as a bony-tongued fish with two barbels. Because of its coloration it is also known as a Silver Arowana. It has a few different spellings, so it can be found as a Silver Aruana, Silver Arawana, and Silver Arrowanas. But all these common names are representative of the same species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eThe Silver Arowana is one of the most interesting fish and it can get very large. It is a long fish with a fluid, almost snake-like swimming motion. A maximum sized specimen would reach up to 47 inches (120 cm) in length and need an aquarium of at least 4 feet wide and 4 feet long just to turn around. A specimen of that size is pretty rare in the aquarium, generally they are smaller with 24 to 30 inches (60 - 78 cm) being a good sized Arowana. It is basically a silver fish, but its scales are very large. As this fish matures the scales develop an opalescent effect that will reflect blue, red, and green highlights. This has led to the nickname \"Dragonfish\" when seen in the wild.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eOne of the most curious characteristics of this fish are its mouth. It opens in three pieces and looks similar to a loading barge, definitely indicative of its predatory nature and appetite. The two distinctive barbels at the tip of the lower jaw are great sensory devices. With them, it can sense and capture prey on the surface of the water, even in total darkness. Its eyesight is also remarkable. With a keen vision, this fish can see above the surface, spotting and leaping out of the water to strike insects and birds from over hanging tree branches. This has lead to still another nickname for this fish, the \"Water Monkey\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eThough they can be kept together when small, larger specimens are best kept singly or with other species of larger fish.

Your Oscar's temperature should be about 77° Fahrenheit (25° Celsius), and ideally should remain between 74° and 81° F (23.5° and 27° C), so you need an aquarium heater and a thermometer. Keeping your Oscar too warm for long periods of time will result in Oxygen deprivation, which can cause nerve damage, heart damage, and can seriously hamper the immune system. Keeping them too cool or exposing them to sudden chill can also hamper their immune system. An impaired immune system makes them more susceptible to many diseases, from easily treatable Ick to more difficult diseases such as hole-in-the-head.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eYour Oscar aquarium should provide at least 30 gallons of space (about 114 liters) per Oscar, plus any space needed for any other fish.

Perform your weekly 10-15% water changes, so that your Oscar always has clean water and the waste that is not processed by the aquarium filter is removed. Your Oscar needs good filtration to keep the water from becoming toxic, and you need to keep the filter(s) well maintained. When selecting a filter, remember to make sure that the filter provides excess filtration for a fish tank with the large capacity that your Oscar requires. Many people use multiple smaller filters to maintain a large aquarium like this. Using several smaller filters allows you to stagger your filter maintenance so that you are not changing all of your filter media at once and risking cycling your fish tank again.

However, in order to feel comfortable, they need to have lots of hiding places. Oscars like to rearrange their territories, so, unless you don't mind the Oscar moving everything around on you, stick with large, heavy pieces that will be harder for the Oscar to get a hold of and move. Remember, you should avoid using sharp or rough decorations that your fish may get hurt on, in case your fish dart into them when startled. Like most other fish, they are more comfortable and will come out more and be more active if you can provide them with 50-75% cover - this means you should make half to three fourths of your fish tank space hiding places. Providing sufficient cover reduces stress and therefore improves your Oscar's immune system, reducing chance of disease.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eOscars do best if kept alone.

Some of the medium sized Pacu can also make good companions for an Oscar.

This fish provides us with a glimpse into the past. It is one of only a few living examples of our ancient prehistoric world of the Jurassic age. Its scientific name is derived from the Greek terms \"Osteoglossum\" which means \"bone-tongued\" and \"bicirrhosum\" which means \"two barbels\". So basically this as a bony-tongued fish with two barbels. Because of its coloration it is also known as a Silver Arowana. It has a few different spellings, so it can be found as a Silver Aruana, Silver Arawana, and Silver Arrowanas. But all these common names are representative of the same species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eThe Silver Arowana is one of the most interesting fish and it can get very large. It is a long fish with a fluid, almost snake-like swimming motion. A maximum sized specimen would reach up to 47 inches (120 cm) in length and need an aquarium of at least 4 feet wide and 4 feet long just to turn around. A specimen of that size is pretty rare in the aquarium, generally they are smaller with 24 to 30 inches (60 - 78 cm) being a good sized Arowana. It is basically a silver fish, but its scales are very large. As this fish matures the scales develop an opalescent effect that will reflect blue, red, and green highlights. This has led to the nickname \"Dragonfish\" when seen in the wild.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eOne of the most curious characteristics of this fish are its mouth. It opens in three pieces and looks similar to a loading barge, definitely indicative of its predatory nature and appetite. The two distinctive barbels at the tip of the lower jaw are great sensory devices. With them, it can sense and capture prey on the surface of the water, even in total darkness. Its eyesight is also remarkable. With a keen vision, this fish can see above the surface, spotting and leaping out of the water to strike insects and birds from over hanging tree branches.

Feeding can sometimes be tricky as some have more deformed mouths than others or gill curl or other gill deformities. If the Parrot has trouble feeding from the surface then it is recommended to switch to a sinking pellet.

Its typical for them to hide when you first bring them home to hide and\/or be very skittish and can take a few weeks for them to adjust to their new surroundings. Some ways for you to help them adjust is to make sure they have several hiding spots and adding some dither fish. Removing hiding spots will only make them more shy and could take longer for them to adjust. Blood Parrots like all Central American Cichlids are territorial and not typically suitable for small community fish. If it fits in their mouth or close then they will try to eat it. Given the proper tank Blood Parrots typically get along fine with most Central and Southern American Cichlids although large overly aggressive cichlids should be avoided as tankmates or house with caution. Due to Blood Parrots deformed mouths they cannot cause much damage to other fish although recently low quality Blood Parrots are being produced to sell at cheaper prices that do not have the deformed mouth and they can do damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eHealth Issues \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eStress Spots: This is usually mistaken for Neascus (Black spot disease).

This is typically present you bring them home but can also show up when in cases of shyness, bullying, breeding, illness, or sometimes nothing at all. The splotches will usually disappear after awhile once the problem is taken care of.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e***********************************\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" size=\"6\" color=\"#ff0010\" style=\"color: #ff0010; font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ex1 SILVER AROWANA SML OSTEOGLOSSUM BIRCIRRHOSUM FRESHWATER LIVE FISH\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" size=\"6\" color=\"#ff0010\" style=\"color: #ff0010; font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-large;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eApprox 3\"-4\" Each\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e \u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan rwr=\"1\" size=\"4\" style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan rwr=\"1\" size=\"4\" style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan rwr=\"1\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan rwr=\"1\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan rwr=\"1\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ds_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size: 75 Gallons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCare Level: Very Difficult\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWater Conditions: 6.0-7.0 pH and Soft to Moderately Hard\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTemperature: 75-82° F (24-27° C)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMaximum Size: 36 inches (91.5 centimeters)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ds_div\" style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eThe Arowana Osteoglossum bicirrhosum was first introduced into the aquarium hobby in 1912. This fish provides us with a glimpse into the past. It is one of only a few living examples of our ancient prehistoric world of the Jurassic age. Its scientific name is derived from the Greek terms \"Osteoglossum\" which means \"bone-tongued\" and \"bicirrhosum\" which means \"two barbels\". So basically this as a bony-tongued fish with two barbels. Because of its coloration it is also known as a Silver Arowana. It has a few different spellings, so it can be found as a Silver Aruana, Silver Arawana, and Silver Arrowanas. But all these common names are representative of the same species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eThe Silver Arowana is one of the most interesting fish and it can get very large. It is a long fish with a fluid, almost snake-like swimming motion. A maximum sized specimen would reach up to 47 inches (120 cm) in length and need an aquarium of at least 4 feet wide and 4 feet long just to turn around. A specimen of that size is pretty rare in the aquarium, generally they are smaller with 24 to 30 inches (60 - 78 cm) being a good sized Arowana. It is basically a silver fish, but its scales are very large. As this fish matures the scales develop an opalescent effect that will reflect blue, red, and green highlights. This has led to the nickname \"Dragonfish\" when seen in the wild.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eOne of the most curious characteristics of this fish are its mouth. It opens in three pieces and looks similar to a loading barge, definitely indicative of its predatory nature and appetite. The two distinctive barbels at the tip of the lower jaw are great sensory devices. With them, it can sense and capture prey on the surface of the water, even in total darkness. Its eyesight is also remarkable. With a keen vision, this fish can see above the surface, spotting and leaping out of the water to strike insects and birds from over hanging tree branches. This has lead to still another nickname for this fish, the \"Water Monkey\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eThough they can be kept together when small, larger specimens are best kept singly or with other species of larger fish.

Feeding can sometimes be tricky as some have more deformed mouths than others or gill curl or other gill deformities. If the Parrot has trouble feeding from the surface then it is recommended to switch to a sinking pellet.

Its typical for them to hide when you first bring them home to hide and\/or be very skittish and can take a few weeks for them to adjust to their new surroundings. Some ways for you to help them adjust is to make sure they have several hiding spots and adding some dither fish. Removing hiding spots will only make them more shy and could take longer for them to adjust. Blood Parrots like all Central American Cichlids are territorial and not typically suitable for small community fish. If it fits in their mouth or close then they will try to eat it. Given the proper tank Blood Parrots typically get along fine with most Central and Southern American Cichlids although large overly aggressive cichlids should be avoided as tankmates or house with caution. Due to Blood Parrots deformed mouths they cannot cause much damage to other fish although recently low quality Blood Parrots are being produced to sell at cheaper prices that do not have the deformed mouth and they can do damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eHealth Issues \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eStress Spots: This is usually mistaken for Neascus (Black spot disease).

Driftwood is also an excellent compliment that will help these fish feel at home.

In fact it’s not usually recommended because the groups can gang up on the singles and cause big trouble in the tank.

It is commonly said that cichlids recognize the footsteps of their owners and come out to visit and the can differentiate between the footsteps of a stranger when they go and hide!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eAnother reason to keep cichlids is that you don’t need to get many of the same species to form a school. In fact it’s not usually recommended because the groups can gang up on the singles and cause big trouble in the tank. It’s best to have a single fish of many different species – you can easily have an array of colors, shapes, sizes and patterns. No two fish are alike in appearance and it makes your tank very fascinating to watch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eWith that said, you may now be convinced that the cichlid aquarium is the best choice for you and your family.

If you only have a few specimens, they re so fiercely territorial that when the other fish enters their established territory, they will attack them so viciously that they can kill the invading fish!

In fact it’s not usually recommended because the groups can gang up on the singles and cause big trouble in the tank.

This fish provides us with a glimpse into the past. It is one of only a few living examples of our ancient prehistoric world of the Jurassic age. Its scientific name is derived from the Greek terms \"Osteoglossum\" which means \"bone-tongued\" and \"bicirrhosum\" which means \"two barbels\". So basically this as a bony-tongued fish with two barbels. Because of its coloration it is also known as a Silver Arowana. It has a few different spellings, so it can be found as a Silver Aruana, Silver Arawana, and Silver Arrowanas. But all these common names are representative of the same species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eThe Silver Arowana is one of the most interesting fish and it can get very large. It is a long fish with a fluid, almost snake-like swimming motion. A maximum sized specimen would reach up to 47 inches (120 cm) in length and need an aquarium of at least 4 feet wide and 4 feet long just to turn around. A specimen of that size is pretty rare in the aquarium, generally they are smaller with 24 to 30 inches (60 - 78 cm) being a good sized Arowana. It is basically a silver fish, but its scales are very large. As this fish matures the scales develop an opalescent effect that will reflect blue, red, and green highlights. This has led to the nickname \"Dragonfish\" when seen in the wild.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eOne of the most curious characteristics of this fish are its mouth. It opens in three pieces and looks similar to a loading barge, definitely indicative of its predatory nature and appetite. The two distinctive barbels at the tip of the lower jaw are great sensory devices. With them, it can sense and capture prey on the surface of the water, even in total darkness. Its eyesight is also remarkable. With a keen vision, this fish can see above the surface, spotting and leaping out of the water to strike insects and birds from over hanging tree branches. This has lead to still another nickname for this fish, the \"Water Monkey\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eThough they can be kept together when small, larger specimens are best kept singly or with other species of larger fish.

The adult will have a dark purple-gray background contrasted with iridescent light blue, green, and gold spangle spots all over its body. Male Jack Dempsey's tend to have more of these brilliant spots than females, and also present bright red edges on their dorsal and anal fins. In addition to the baseline coloring, many captive bred color varieties have also been developed and are available today.

When first introduced to the aquarium hobby this fish was considered quite ferocious, though today it is known there are quite a few other cichlids which are far more aggressive than the Jack Dempsey. However, because of this perceived hyperaggression its common name became \"Jack Dempsey\" after the 1919 Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World. Its genus name Rocio was named after the wife of the describing author, Regan, and its Spanish interpretation means \"morning dew,\" an allusion to the sparkling scales on the cheeks and sides.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eThis cichlid is a very attractive show type fish.

However, because of this perceived hyperaggression its common name became \"Jack Dempsey\" after the 1919 Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World.

A smaller pellet size should be used due to their mouths. Recommended pellet brands are Hikari Cichlid or New Life Spectrum Cichlid\/Cichlasoma Formula 1 - 3mm depending on the size of the fish. Feeding can sometimes be tricky as some have more deformed mouths than others or gill curl or other gill deformities. If the Parrot has trouble feeding from the surface then it is recommended to switch to a sinking pellet. Thawed shelled peas should be fed once a week to add roughage to the diet to help prevent Swim Bladder problems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eSocial Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eBlood Parrots, especially when young, can be very shy and reclusive. Its typical for them to hide when you first bring them home to hide and\/or be very skittish and can take a few weeks for them to adjust to their new surroundings. Some ways for you to help them adjust is to make sure they have several hiding spots and adding some dither fish. Removing hiding spots will only make them more shy and could take longer for them to adjust. Blood Parrots like all Central American Cichlids are territorial and not typically suitable for small community fish. If it fits in their mouth or close then they will try to eat it. Given the proper tank Blood Parrots typically get along fine with most Central and Southern American Cichlids although large overly aggressive cichlids should be avoided as tankmates or house with caution. Due to Blood Parrots deformed mouths they cannot cause much damage to other fish although recently low quality Blood Parrots are being produced to sell at cheaper prices that do not have the deformed mouth and they can do damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eHealth Issues \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eStress Spots: This is usually mistaken for Neascus (Black spot disease).

A smaller pellet size should be used due to their mouths. Recommended pellet brands are Hikari Cichlid or New Life Spectrum Cichlid\/Cichlasoma Formula 1 - 3mm depending on the size of the fish. Feeding can sometimes be tricky as some have more deformed mouths than others or gill curl or other gill deformities. If the Parrot has trouble feeding from the surface then it is recommended to switch to a sinking pellet. Thawed shelled peas should be fed once a week to add roughage to the diet to help prevent Swim Bladder problems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eSocial Behavior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eBlood Parrots, especially when young, can be very shy and reclusive. Its typical for them to hide when you first bring them home to hide and\/or be very skittish and can take a few weeks for them to adjust to their new surroundings. Some ways for you to help them adjust is to make sure they have several hiding spots and adding some dither fish. Removing hiding spots will only make them more shy and could take longer for them to adjust. Blood Parrots like all Central American Cichlids are territorial and not typically suitable for small community fish. If it fits in their mouth or close then they will try to eat it. Given the proper tank Blood Parrots typically get along fine with most Central and Southern American Cichlids although large overly aggressive cichlids should be avoided as tankmates or house with caution. Due to Blood Parrots deformed mouths they cannot cause much damage to other fish although recently low quality Blood Parrots are being produced to sell at cheaper prices that do not have the deformed mouth and they can do damage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eHealth Issues \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\"\u003eStress Spots: This is usually mistaken for Neascus (Black spot disease).
