Polar Blue Parrot Fish (zebra Parrot Cichlid) Anyone ?

Hey guys! I just got two of these fish and am trying to figure out the genders of my fish. The smaller, rounder one (we have been calling Gus) is shy, and runs. Gus hangs out near the filter and under the palm trees where "he" can't be seen. The longer, thinner one (we have been calling Annie) is bossy and always chasing Gus around and hanging out in the open. Gus has a lighter coloration since being in the tank (for about a week now) and Annie has gotten brighter. They both seem to be eating fine, but I'm a little worried about Gus. Any information on this breed would be helpful!

Based on the advice in the video it sounds like you may want to swap names on those fish. Small and round - female, long and thin - male. Plus the male is chasing the female.

I bought one of these little guys from a LFS as the only one left. Cutest fish I’ve ever seen. I saw it rough up a Cory and it was queen of my 40 gallon guppy tank but not an outright terror. Now I have it in with a young blood parrot. I may need some more of these, I like the size and the ability to breed. I had assumed sterility like BPs.

 

HI I just bought this Polar blue parrot fish who is tiny right now (3 cm), does anyone else take care of this hybrid ? I can't find much online about them, and I really want to know more. Any help.

Things I want to know:

Adult size, life span, behaviour, tank mates, etc.

Hello, I have a male polar blue convict and a female pink convict that just had babies. I love these fish, easy to take care of.
Not sure what the babies will look like but can't wait.
I feed mine 3 different types of food, flakes, pellets and blood worms. They like caves, makes them feel safe. Not sure how big they get or how long they live . I do use cichlid lake salt when I change the water.

Your new one has all the characteristics of a female HRP. Including a massive egg tube. Notice that the belly is pinkish rather than orange like a standard convict.

The deformed mouth does seem to be connected to the spinal deformity. I've also had fish with mouth deformities without any spinal problems. As a responsible fish breeder, I cull those fish.

How does mine look? I've had him awhile and he has had babies with a pink convict.
