Parrot Cichlids
Specialty Food
I haven't tried any of the following specialty foods. I'm
very interested in hearing from anyone that has. Please
contact me and let me know what you think about these foods.
None of the fish stores here sell the products, and I have
been reluctant to order any without getting some feed back
first.
SUPER-VIT RED PARROT FLAKE @ Tropical
There is a special food
designed specifically for Parrots. It is manufactured by
Tropical and is called SUPER-VIT RED PARROT FLAKE. It claims
to be a special, complete, multi-ingredient flake food with
color enhancing properties. It designed for daily feeding to
red parrots. It has been developed in Tropical laboratories as
the result of multi level research on the nourishing of these
unique fish. The composition of SUPER-VIT RED PARROT FLAKE is
based on the highest quality nutritious substances ensuring
the proper growth and development of red parrots. The food
also enhances coloration and directly influences the unusual
shape of the head and body of red parrots. A specially chosen
set of exogenous amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids
improves the functioning of the liver and other internal
organs of these delicate fish.

Nature Red-Parrot Food @ Haifeng
Haifeng manufactures many
excellent fish foods. I would think that this food would be no
exception. the website claims that it will promote fast growth
and enhance of the unique body shape and head of the Red
Parrot. The color enhancement is gradually noticeable. This
food, unlike the SUPER-VIT, is a pellet while the SUPER-VIT is
a flake.

I like to feed my parrots a variety of foods. A varied diet

daily. The mix includes the three pellets outlined in blue
