Say fish
mini parrot non-parrot, South American bream in South America. Last year set off a wave of cute waves, Accompany the beautiful lady this year.
Welcome back to the College of Pampered Fish.
Sorry, I'm a whoop!
This time, The Boy really has to apologize!
Today's topic is Mini Parrot Fish, this theme is the topic of an enthusiastic aquarist in December last year, today is Already May, I dragged the manuscript for half a year.
Really embarrassed!
The mini parrot fish was a special fire last year, and it was one of the few blockbuster ornamental fish in recent years.
However, there is very little information about this fish on the Internet, so many aquarists hope to have a systematic article to introduce this cute fish.
Dear aquarists, please lie down and listen to the mini parrot fish.
This article is suitable for aquarists who like mini parrot fish, and it is also suitable for young girls with explosive hearts. Expected reading 218 seconds.
Platinum mini parrot fish
Royal blue mini parrot fish
There are two species of mini parrotfish: platinum parrotfish and royal blue parrotfish (pictured above).
The mini parrot fish has nothing to do with the blood parrots we commonly see in aquarium shops.
The blood parrotfish is a cichlid species formed by artificial hybridization of the Cichlid in Mesoamerica.
It is also believed that the mini parrot fish is an artificially modified species of the "nine pineapple fish", because the pattern on the royal blue parrot fish is too similar to the nine pineapple fish.
Wow boy felt credible.
There are two reasons for this -
First, the habits of the nine pineapple fish and the mini parrot fish are very similar;
Second, there is an improved variety of nine pineapple fish called the "White Lion King", which corresponds to the platinum mini parrot fish.
Thinking about it in reverse, don't you think that the distance between the mini parrotfish and the South American bream is also a bit far?
The main force of the South American bream is the numerous "Akasi" and "Chieftain", whose appearance is completely unrelated to the mini parrotfish.
The only thing that is somewhat similar is that the mini parrotfish has a somewhat similar appearance to the South American bream of the genus M.
The representative of the genus M short seabream is the famous "Golden Wave".
Both kimbernet and mini parrotfish are the same cute and very similar in temperament.
There is a species barrier here - can the nine pineapple fish hybridize with the golden wave?

Where exactly is the nine pineapple fish from?
There are two answers to this question on our website: Central America and South America.
Many so-called "professional" website articles classify nine pineapple fish in the South American cichlid sequence.
There is no way, the boy can only go to the foreign authoritative website to check. See image above.
The answer is obvious: nine pineapple fish are from Central America, not South America.
The Nine Pineapple Fish is a small tropical cichlid from Central America.
Its biggest feature is that it can hybridize with different species of cichlids.
According to an article, the nine pineapple fish seem to have been born on this planet for breeding, not only can be hybridized between the same genus, but also have no problem with the same family.
The genes are so powerful that looking at the entire pet fish ring, it is estimated that there are only nine pineapples!
Therefore, it seems that there is no problem in mixing the nine pineapple fish and the golden wave. The Kimbers came from an improvement over the Dutch Phoenix.
Then, let's make a bold guess: the mini parrot fish is a hybrid of nine pineapple fish and Dutch phoenix.
Nine pineapple fish and Dutch phoenix hybrids obtained - royal blue mini parrotfish;
The White Lionhead Pineapple Fish and the Dutch Phoenix are crossed to obtain the Platinum Mini Parrot Fish.
Because of the opacity of the information, The Boy can only guess, if you do not agree, please present your strong evidence, as long as it is reasonable, the Boy is also happy to accept.
Two species of mini parrot fish are polycultured
Platinum parrot fish spawn
Royal blue parrot fish spawn
Whether it is pattern or habit, the mini parrot fish is definitely more similar to the nine pineapple fish, so we can refer to the nine pineapple fish to play the mini parrot fish.
Nine pineapple fish is produced in Central America and prefers weak alkaline hard water, so northern aquarists do not need to adjust the water, they can directly play mini parrot fish.
Because it has the blood of the Dutch phoenix in its body, it is not a problem to adapt to the weak acid water in the south.
This explains why so many aquarists who have played with mini parrot fish say it is very skinny.
Because it is a mixture of central and southern America.

Many people on the Internet say that their mini parrot fish is from Taiwan, which is debatable. The highest concentration of domestic breeding mini parrot fish is in the northeast, and most of the fish also come from there. I reckon that Taiwan probably doesn't have this fish right now.
