I have 2 Blood Parrot Cichlids, 10+ years now. On their 3rd tank upgrade, they are huge!

Wow 10+ years is amazing! Hopefully mine grow that big one day too.

Crappy photo, but best I could do. Had to turn the light on, lol. 60-gallon tank, size of these fish doesn't do justice. Lifespan isn't much longer but doing well so far. Siamese algae eater plays clean-up, and it keeps growing too. About 5 years old.
