Nice looking fishies!

Really nice parrots! Their longer dorsal fins might mean they're just a different local of that species. They should do fine with your sevs.

Nice parrot...gonna need a little TLC....What were they in with that shredded it's fins?

 

[terror]

thanks the one with the shredded fin waqs given to me, i think it was inflicted by another parrot, since the owner bought 2 pieces, and it was bullied by the other one, It was given to me in the morning and i went out to get 3 more in the afternoon, So far they seem ok, no fighting. my severums are much larger than them.
