Parrot Fish, also known as Blood Parrot Cichlids, are a popular freshwater fish species in the aquarium hobby. However, it's important to note that Blood Parrot Fish are a man-made hybrid species, and their origin and exact genetic makeup are subject to debate.

Parrot Fish are known for their unique appearance and vibrant red coloration. They typically have a round or oval-shaped body with a beak-like mouth and a pronounced forehead. Their scales are usually bright red, although variations can be found, including orange, pink, or even yellow hues. Additionally, they often have a metallic or pearlescent sheen, which adds to their visual appeal.
