yes, pH will drop overtime, that is why u need coral chips to buffer against the drop in pH

Buy from the taiwanese auntie, scoop from the tank on the floor one issit?

5 of my parrots are from there. For parrots, must keep many, if not they scared, hide 1 corner. Initially, i only kept 5, all hide 1 corner, after that, i added another 5 (from the 10 for $45 tank), they are less timid and swim around more often. Give it a week for them to get used to the new environment

Yes, yes, from that taiwanese auntie, scoop from the tank on the floor. You are right. $4.50 per pcs compare to Rainbow's $6 per pc.

But those Taiwanese KKP is more expensive, $20 per pcs. :(

That's why I went for those Taiwan Lucky Parrots lor.

I think the $45 for 10 parrots are no good, I also bought 5, all 5 colour fade, my other 5 from other LFS still swee swee.

Got 1 of them, didn't see properly take back home then realize, around the eyes is red colour (should be silver) I thought different breed, that one got alot of problems, white spots, fins clamp. After I quarantine them with pimafix, much better. 1 thing I realize, eyes back to silver colour, but the colour fade until sibei jialat.

So, I assume the red eyes are colour enhancers which fade after a while

Now I am convinced that those parrots in the tank where the tank is on the floor is CMI type. I will look around again.

Remember seeing before, cant remember where, pasir ris farm i think.

But now I am very sceptical when it comes to parrots, the nice nice ones could be dyed or fed with colour enhancers.

Maybe we can start a list of shops selling real red or orange parrots and those selling coloured parrots.
