Introduction

Been awhile since I had my parrots, about 6 months now. Just to give a basic idea of my tank. It's a 75 gallon with 2 female blood parrots. The rounder chubbier one is named Chufie. The more oval one is named Penguina. They are still shy right now, but not nearly as shy when I first introduced them into the tank and they have grown about an inch since. They are 3.5 inches right now. They have 5 long finned tetras for company which are all healthy and I haven't had any real problems with any of my fish except for the sterbai cories. I can't seem to feed them without the parrots or long finned tetras stealing their food.

I had six sterbais now there is only one. One I picked up this morning, he had died overnight. For a bottom dwelling fish, they sure don't spend much time on the bottom. When I first got them, they would always be in the bottom but now they are always swimming in the middle part of the tank.

Anyways, I'm planning on getting a bigger cory called a brochis multiradiatus or hognosed cory. I am going to get started on cleaning the ten gallon tank my sister gave me to use for a quarantine tank and I'm going to buy the ten gallon stand at wallmart.
