are they a different variety?
Can thye be mixed?
 
Nice looking fishies!
 
Really nice parrots! Their longer dorsal fins might mean they're just a different local of that species. They should do fine with your sevs.
 
thanks :) the one with the shredded fin waqs given to me, i think it was inflicted by another parrot, since the owner bought 2 pieces, and it was bullied by the other one, It was given to me in the morning and i went out to get 3 more in the afternoon, So far they seem ok, no fighting. my severums are much larger than them.
 
Really nice fish to own.

I had some about 11 years ago and kept the in the 15,000 for 5 or 6 years.
