Red Tiger King Kong Parrotfish – Bold Color Meets Unique Personality
The Red Tiger King Kong Parrotfish is a stunning and rare hybrid cichlid prized for its intense red-orange coloration, thick body shape, and striking tiger-like striping. A selectively bred variety of the popular blood parrot cichlid, this fish combines the vibrant beauty of the King Kong Parrot with bold tiger markings, making it a dramatic centerpiece in any freshwater aquarium.
Known for its quirky personality and interactive behavior, the Red Tiger King Kong Parrotfish is both hardy and intelligent, often recognizing its owner and displaying playful antics. While generally peaceful, it can be mildly territorial and does best with similarly sized, semi-aggressive tank mates in a spacious, well-decorated aquarium.
Key Features:
-
Coloration: Bright red to deep orange body with bold vertical tiger stripes
-
Temperament: Peaceful to semi-aggressive—territorial during breeding
-
Size: Can grow up to 8–10 inches
-
Tank Requirements: Minimum 55 gallons with stable water conditions, rocks, and hiding places
-
Diet: Omnivorous—enjoys pellets, flakes, and frozen foods
-
Compatibility: Best kept with medium to large semi-aggressive species; avoid small or delicate fish
The Red Tiger King Kong Parrotfish is perfect for aquarists looking to add a vibrant, personality-filled fish to their tank—offering a blend of exotic appearance, engaging behavior, and hardy nature.
