Like I said my Blood Parrot cichlids are unknown age bout i predict they are around 6-10 weeks old im wondering when they will change color and start to grow? tank size is not an issue i have a 105 gallon aquarium.
my cichlids are grey bout at the pet store the older ones that are mature where red and the shop owner told me that they would go pinkish red
They are not supposed to change color. Blood Parrots are one of the few true Parrot colors out there. The ones you see changing in color are those that have been dyed, and usually that dying process tends to have bad health effects and causes those dyed Parrots to live a shortend life. Those that buy these off colored Parrots only support that practice further as if there is money to be made doing it, then people will keep dying them.
