What is the relationship between a parrot fish and a cichlid?

Jan 26, 2009 by bonne d | Posted in Fish

I searched pictures of parrot fish on google, and all them read
parrot fish-cichlid... I'm confused... Is that just another name for a parrot fish?? Maybe it's just how the picture is named, or is it something else??

Thank-you!! :D

There are three types of parrot fish.
Some are marine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrot_fish

There are two cichlids called parrots - the true parrot cichlid, Hoplarchus psittacus and the horribly deformed, and often mutilated and dyed, hybrid cichlids often sold as blood parrots. http://cichlidresearch.com/parrot.html

Tilapia Feed on Fiji's Native Fish

. The authors include: Stacy Jupiter and Ingrid Qauqau of the Wildlife Conservation Society; Aaron P. Jenkins of Wetlands International-Oceania; and James Atherton of Conservation International.

"Many of the unique freshwater fishes of the Fiji Islands are being threatened by introduced tilapia and other forms of development in key water catchment basins," said Dr. Jupiter, a co-author of the study and one of the investigators examining the effects of human activities on the native fauna. "Conserving the native fishes of the islands will require a multi-faceted collaboration that protects not only the waterways of the islands, but the ecosystems that contain them."

The most surprising finding of the study centers on the tilapia, a member of the cichlid family of fishes from Africa that has become one of the most important kinds of fish for aquaculture, due in large part to its rapid rate of growth and palatability. Aside from its value as a source of protein, the tilapia is sometimes problematic to native fish species in tropical locations.

55 Gallon Tank: what are the smaller/easier cichlids?

by steed1172

Another attack of MTS is hitting me, all the classic signs, looking at filters, heaters, tanks, fish, and an empty looking- or "soon to be empty" spot to place a tank! putting the signs away, i already have those things!!(hard to resist MTS when you have everything..) that is if i can place them in my other 55- if not i can get a 75 with what ive got and get a "good" light later.
