Set up a tank about 4 weeks ago, in two week period bought 9 parrots. They all died over the weekend except for 1. Bought another one yesterday. They are so beautiful I couldn't resist but if they die this time I'm calling it quits. Checked the Ammonia/PH, everything,changed water, did maintenace and still couldn't figure it out. Maybe this hobby aint for me. Well, I’m heart-broken. Set up a tank about 4 weeks ago, in two week period bought 9 parrots. They all died over the weekend except for 1. Bought another one yesterday.

Fish Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:16:00 +0000 http://happysheepstudios.com/wordpress-1.2-mingus/wordpress/?p=346#comment-598909 I have had much of the same experience. I recently bought a jellybean parrot as a new addition to my 125 gallon tank. He was a pale blue, simliar to the colors that a blue gourami is. So it didn't occur to me that it would be dyed, none of the fish in that tank had the bright colors that I have seen now that I have researched it. I was told they are hybrids, but not that they are dyed. Hybrid fish don't bother me, its just a cross between 2 fish that wouldn't normally breed, but I wasn't told they are dyed! I got mine home, the next day he went from light blue to having black stripes. (probably just the stress of moving to a new tank)The black stripes faded in a couple of days. However, nearly 3 weeks later now, he is changing from blue to a pale yellowish color. I really hope that he doesn't die, my kids adore him because he "looks like he is smiling" due to the mouth shape. They will be heartbroken!! I will never buy one of these again, I just wish I had known about this before I bought him. Poor fishies!!! I have had much of the same experience.
