Can you put Neon tetra with blood parrots?

Question

I would like to get some neon tetra fish and wonder if you can stick them with blood parrots

Answer 1

parrots are an aggresive fish and should only be kept with other cichlids  

Answer 2

If you want them to be a meal...blood parrots often eat smaller fish.

try other cichilds or larger gourami's, tiger barbs, loachs, catfish, plecos or sharks.  

Answer 3

Well d**n i hate to said this but this is just from a personal experience, if you want your Blood Parrot to be good don't Put a Neon Tetra in there, they do not get along.

Here is a list of Fish types you can put with Blood Parrots.

Silver Dollars

Black Skirt Tetras (Black Widow)

Giant Danios

Congo Tetras

Cory Cats

Any variety of Pleco

Twig Catfish

Kribensis

Convicts

Sevrums

Large Angels

Answer 4

Blood parrots grow quite large - Neon tetras dont. Not a good Combo.

Eventually the Neons are likely to get eaten. It's not that Blood Parrots are really agressive, it's just that big fish eat small fish.

Pick some larger but peacefull or semi-agressive tankmates. Arturo's list has some good options.
