Platinum Parrot Cichlid – A Stunning and Unique Aquarium Fish

The Platinum Parrot Cichlid is a breathtaking addition to any aquarium, known for its striking white or silvery appearance and distinctive parrot-like body shape. This selectively bred hybrid cichlid combines beauty with a bold personality, making it a standout choice for freshwater enthusiasts.

Tank Setup & Care

Platinum Parrot Cichlids require a spacious, well-filtered aquarium with plenty of hiding spots like rocks, driftwood, and caves. They thrive in warm, slightly acidic to neutral water and should be housed in a tank of at least 200 liters for a single fish or larger if keeping multiples. While they are generally peaceful, they can be territorial, especially during feeding or breeding.

Feeding

These cichlids are omnivores and enjoy a diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and occasional live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans. Providing a balanced diet helps maintain their vibrant colour and overall health.
