The Blood parrot (also known as bloody parrot and blood parrotfish) is a hybrid cichlid. The fish was first created in Taiwan in around 1986. Its parentage is unknown, but the most commonly speculated pairings are midas cichlid with the redhead cichlid. This hybrid cichlid has various anatomical deformities, one of the most obvious, and also deadly, deformities is its mouth, which only has very narrow vertical opening. This makes blood parrot very hard to feed. Many die eventually because of this. Cichlid enthusiasts have called for their removal from the market and organized boycotts against pet stores that sell them.
不負責任翻譯:血鸚鵡 (Blood parrot) 是一種混血熱帶魚 (亦被稱為bloody parrot或是blood parrotfish)。這種魚大約在1986年在台灣首度問世。它的來源不明,但普遍地被認為的是俗稱紅魔鬼的熱帶淡水魚及紅頭麗體魚的組合。這種混種的熱帶魚有在結構上有多重畸型,其中最明顯亦是最致命的畸型就在它的嘴巴,只能夠很小範圍的垂直張開。這使得血鸚鵡很難進食。許多魚類最終因而死亡。熱帶魚的狂熱者們進行從市場將它們去除的需求,並組織聯合抵抗來抵抗寵物店出售牠們。
