Blood Parrot Cichlid

Cichlasoma citrinellum
This fish is a cross breed between two central american cichlids. This fish was created by accident. Some aquarists think that this fish should not have been created at all because it has deformed spine, swim bladder and can't close its mouth.
Humans were not so nice to this fish at all. Trying to make good money some people actually dyed Parrots to make them "more attractive". Please DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CRUELTY BY BUYING THEM !!!
