The Polar Blue Parrot Cichlid is a stunning hybrid known for its vibrant blue colour and robust size. These fish are a result of selective breeding and are not found in the wild. They are relatively hardy and can adapt to a variety of water conditions, but they do require a spacious tank and a stable environment to thrive. Polar Blue Parrots are known for their semi-aggressive behaviour, particularly when they are protecting their territory or breeding. They are active and can be quite entertaining to watch, especially when they display their bright colours and unique behaviours. Despite their hybrid nature, they are a popular choice among aquarists for their beauty and personality.
