📷 Parrot, but not a bird

Today I want to tell you about the parrot fish when I saw them for the first time, to my delight knew no bounds. They are all bright, colorful and cute, it seemed to me they sometimes look very expressive was their opinion!

The parrot fish belongs to the family of Perciformes, and she very like them. But the name stuck for this bright orange inhabitant of open water due to its design data. Parrots have a very small mouth, large forehead and slightly curved jaw, which to me resembled a bird's beak. Probably why they got their is such an amazing name.

These fish like to swim in shoals, in the aquarium there were more than 50. The spectacle is impressive, it seemed as if the sun looked into the water spaces. Noticed that the fish are skittish, if someone had flash, and they caught the bright light, they even grew pale and seem to temporarily lose their bright color.

Parrots are very modest fish, and any change in their environment causes a lot of stress. Fish begin to fuss, to hide, to dash around the aquarium, and then for them not to follow. But if all goes well, they even allow themselves to be photographed, sometimes posing as real superstars.

Isn't she that fish?! And with the neighbors on the aquarium parrots live peacefully, not fighting. That's just the fish need to select one value. If the tank is too small fish, our parrot can take them to eat and even to swallow, and you will miss his silent "friend".

That would have these parrots could talk - the prices would not have them :-)
