White Parrot Cichlid (Hybrid Trade Form)

White Parrot Cichlid is supplied under the trade label Cichlasoma hybrid white parrot. This is a hybrid aquarium-fish label, not a valid wild-species binomial or proof of particular parent species. Check adult care and compatibility before ordering.

The Hybrid Blood Parrot Cichlid is a separate trade listing. Similar common names do not prove identical parentage, adult size or compatibility; assess each animal and its own care plan.

One selected quantity supplies one unsexed fish in the approximate 3–4 cm or 5–6 cm grade selected, not a pair or shoal. Purchase size is not adult size. The exact supplier card supports the 30 cm adult planning figure and the water range below; it does not establish exact parentage or a fixed lifespan.

Quick facts

Aquarium setup

Cichlasoma hybrid white parrot should be planned around stable water and a mature aquarium: start with at least 300 litres; keep temperature around 24-28C; aim for pH 6.5-7.5. Add cover, open swimming space and a steady routine before introducing new livestock.

Behaviour and tank mates

Cichlasoma hybrid white parrot needs stocking choices that respect its behaviour: temperament is listed as semi-aggressive; it usually uses the middle area of the aquarium.

White Parrot Cichlid should be matched with tank mates using the adult size, temperament, water parameters and feeding behaviour on this page. Introduce carefully and watch the first week after delivery.

Feeding and routine care

Feed a varied omnivorous diet of high-quality cichlid pellets, frozen foods and some vegetable matter. Offer small portions, vary the diet where appropriate, and remove uneaten food so water quality remains stable.

Health, delivery and acclimation

Only add Cichlasoma hybrid white parrot to a mature aquarium with stable water. When your order arrives, float and acclimate slowly, keep the lights low, and avoid feeding heavily on the first day. Watch breathing, posture, colour and appetite during the first week.

Why buy from Tropical Fish Co?

Reference images are not the individual fish received and do not establish hybrid parentage. Read the delivery and Live Arrival Guarantee terms before choosing a delivery day, and have a mature aquarium ready. The acclimation guide helps you plan a calm arrival.

Before you order

Use the facts on this page as a final check before adding Cichlasoma hybrid white parrot to your basket. Confirm the adult size, water conditions, feeding style and behaviour suit the aquarium you already have, then choose tank mates that will not outcompete, bully or stress it after delivery.

If you are building a new setup, let the aquarium mature first and avoid mixing livestock with very different temperature, pH or temperament needs. A careful match at the start is usually the difference between a calm community tank and avoidable losses later.
