White Parrot Cichlid

White Parrot Cichlids are a beautiful, albeit controversial, freshwater cichlid. These fish are a hybrid fish species that was first created in Taiwan around 1986. The exact species used to create the White Parrot Cichlid are believed to be a crossing of platinum Convict Cichlids and Blood Parrots. The colouration of the White Parrot Cichlid species can vary from a snowy white colour to shades of platinum and light grey.

White Parrot Cichlids, when small, may present as a pale, white to grey colour, which can develop into a more visable or translucent shade as they mature and grow into adulthood. Parrot Cichlids are active swimmers and will grow to an adult size of around 8 inches, they require a fairly large aquarium with lots of space to swim. A larger aquarium of at least 100-350 litres is recommended, particularly if keeping in groups. Parrot Cichlids can be quite shy, so plenty of driftwood or hiding spaces is recommended.

Are White Parrot Cichlid's aggressive?
White Parrot fish are not considered to be an aggressive cichlid. They are rarely bullied, because of their size, but also possess very little capability to attack. They are quite large and cumbersome, slow-swimming, and have small mouths, which limits its likeliness to attack other fish species in the aquarium. White Parrot Cichlids make ideal tankmates for other similar-sized peaceful fish, but care must be taken not to house with any fish small enough to be considered food.

Are White Parrot Cichlids artificially dyed colours?
While it is true that in many countries, the parrot cichlid has been artificially dyed into vibrant blue, red and purple colours, the practice is generally considered cruel and is not one we support. The natural colour of the White Parrot Cichlid is a combination affected by the breeding of Parrot Cichlids and platinum Convict Cichlids. Platinum or white Parrot Cichlids are also commonly used as a base fish for coloured dye. We do not and will not sell dyed fish, only natural Parrot Cichlids.

Ease of Care
Moderate. Parrot Cichlid fish are not particularly hardy, and can possess defects and immunity issues due to the way they are bred. Parrot Cichlid's have small mouths, so care must be taken to ensure they are eating properly.

Diet
Omnivore. Parrot Cichlid fish are happy with flake and granules, and will eat meatier live and frozen food occasionally to supplement. Be aware that the small mouth of a Parrot Cichlid can cause the fish to struggle to eat larger food pieces, such as shrimp or mussels.

Compatibility

Can be housed in a community aquarium with caution, alongside other peaceful community fish of a similar size. Do not house with anything small enough to be considered food. Very popular in community peaceful South American cichlid tanks, with other docile cichlids.

Breeding
Parrot Cichlids are egg layers but struggle with infertility, so are not easy to breed in captivity. Parrot Cichlids are very protective of eggs and will become aggressive around them, eating them if they become infected with fungus.

Life Span

White Parrot Cichlids can live 10-15 years in perfect conditions.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat. It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot. Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable. The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold. The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.
