Bon Shaw shared this heartwarming video of his pet blood parrot cichlid acting more like a puppy than a fish when enjoying some rubs and scratches.
“This little guy just loves to watch me wherever I am in the room, he’ll do anything to get my attention. And when I look at him he flares out his gills and dances from side to side just hoping that I’ll come over to play. If I drop food in the aquarium he’ll ignore it and hope to play. I have to walk away to get him to go find the food which has floated away by then. That said, in another tank I have a second Blood Parrot Cichlid that loves me but doesn’t want to be touched. It’s like having one dog and one cat. You just have to love the differences.”
