Parrot fish is the representative of the family of cichlids. It got it's name due to the bright coloration and unusual head shape resembling the parrot's beak

The red parrot was specially bred by Taiwanese breeders in the 90s of the last century. Presumably the species was obtained by crossing American and African cichlids. Its exact origin is unknown, since the method of obtaining this hybrid is kept in strict confidence. In this connection, the only place in the world where this species of fish is bred and then sent to other countries is Southeast Asia.
The length of an adult is 8-15 cm. The most common color of parrots is orange-red and yellow. In addition to aquarium fish with the above colors, there are representatives of other colors.
