Polar Blue Striped Parrot Cichlid
Polar Blue 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 Polar Blue Parrot Cichlid are believed to be a crossing of Convict Cichlids and Blood Parrots. The colouration and patterning of the Polar Blue Parrot Cichlid is very similar to the convict cichlid species.
Polar Blue Parrot Cichlids, when small, may present as a pale, white to greyish-blue colour, which will develop into a more visable blue 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 litres is recommended, particularly if keeping in groups. Parrot Cichlids can be quite shy, so plenty of driftwood or hiding spaces is recommended.
Are Polar Blue Parrot Cichlid's aggressive?
Polar Blue 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. Polar Blue Tiger Parrot Cichlids make ideal tank mates for other similar-sized peaceful fish, but care must be taken not to house with any fish small enough to be considered food.

These fish came nice and healthy. Delivery 5*. One is laid back and the other is so funny thinking it’s a little hard man with the other fish.
Have bought most of aquarium inhabitants here as such good quality and good value for money.
My second parrot arrived really safe and well, despite the first named storm of 2026, and has settled in the tank really well. Will hopefully keep growing to go in the new tank when I can actually afford to buy it!!
Really pleased with all my purchases.
Thank you for everything that I have bought!
I cannot believe the way in which the care and thoughtfulness of the way my items were packed. I was overwhelmed with the way everything fitted together and all good for all of the fish involved in the move down south.
Thank you very much, I will definitely be buying from you again.
