A Little About My
Fish
I currently
have a 55gal and I'm in
the middle of transferring over to a
chichlid tank. Also a 10gal with
Electric Yellow Labs
In the 55gal I have,
2=large Angels,
3=Tetras,
1=large Silver Dollar,
2=1½" baby Gold Severums,
1=5" Marbled Sailfin Pleco
(Gibbiceps Pleco)
2=4" Blood Red Parrotfish
Now I know most people instantly frown
on the idea of owning a
Parrot fish due to the fact that they
are not spawn naturally. They are a man
made fish, A cross between Severums and
Red Devils. Many are quicky flamed in
certain newgroups whenever they have an
inquiry about them. Considering there
are many people that really enjoy
these fish despite their origin, these
fish are here to stay. Most keepers
don't agree with the method used to
breed these fish. So instead of
listening to
the endless flames I decided to do
something about it.
With a little
research I soon found out many
people have successfully bread this fish
despite the speculation that they are
sterile. Mainly the males. I found
the mild and peaceful characteristics of
the Gold Severum to be a desirable trait
to cross breed the Parrots with. It will
take years and many generations before
I'm able to achieve the results I'm
looking for. But I feel it's well worth
it if this works out.
I've also made
contact with a person who's Parrots are
successfully breeding. And hope to
purchase some of the fry when they are
old enough to be shipped safely. I will
soon also have pictures of my fish
posted here.
