Identification Hybrid?

This blood parrot was advertised as a yuan bao blood parrot, but I get the feeling she might be a hybrid. She just looks a bit different and she’s definitely more feisty than my other blood parrot.

So I think my Geophagus Sveni laid eggs for the first time. I’m looking for advice on things I can do to improve my chances of fry surviving. There are 5 Sveni, 4 electric blue acara and 1 Severum in a 125 gallon tank. Thanks in advance!

General help What’s the single glass-banging, big-personality centerpiece fish for a 29g (in hard water)?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m working on setting up a 29-gallon tank and want to go the solo showcase route. Instead of a bunch of tiny schooling fish, I want one single, bold, noticeable fish with a huge personality that will claim the entire tank as its kingdom and interact with me through the glass.

One big detail: My tap water naturally runs pretty hard, so I’m looking for a species that naturally thrives in hard water/higher pH without having to mess with tons of water adjusters.

What single fish would you put in a 29g that hits these marks?

  • Big personality / wet pet vibe
  • Prefers hard water
  • Stands out visually and commands the whole tank

Looking for your absolute favorite solo centerpiece ideas for this footprint! Drop your suggestions!
