My boss has several fish tanks in her house and garage. The ones in her garage are fish destined to be brought to a customer’s house or they are the retirement home for fish that had to come out of someone’s aquarium for one reason or another.

She had two large blood parrots, which are hybrid cichlids, in one of her freshwater tanks. One came back from a customer because it had a large tumor on its back, the other had a different problem that I don’t remember. The two became very close while in recovery.

I feel bad but the fish with the tumor recently went back to his original home and a new blood parrot was added which the remaining blood parrot has taken a liking to,
