The Blood parrot ,also known as bloody parrot and blood parrot fish, is a hybrid cichlid. Most commonly found in the trade is the Red Blood Parrot with bright orange in coloration.The fish was first created in Taiwan in around 1986. Its parentage is unknown, but the most commonly speculated pairings are midas cichlid (Amphilophus citrinellus) with the redhead cichlid (Cichlasoma synspilum), or the severum (Heros severus) with the red devil cichlid (Amphilophus labiatus).Blood parrots should not be confused with other parrot cichlids or salt water Parrotfish .
