Are BPs aggressive to tankmates?
as titled, generally how is the temperament of blood parrots?
... particularly to bottom dwellers? Do they pester their tankmates alot? |

i think most BP display aggressive traits. especially so if they are in greater numbers.
i lost a 12" FF when i housed it in a temp tank during tank change. kena whacked by the 60+ pcs of 5" parrots. |
