Quoyi parrotfish reef safe?

[Dmorty217]

Found mine online, thing with them is the guy Im getting mine from said he orders them from his distributor and they are just named some sort of parrot but end up being the Quoyi when they arrive. I have also heard of others purchasing the parrot labeled as something else ( another kind) and it turned out to be the Quoyi.

Yup, bought mine as a princess parrot locally.

Has anyone ever tried to pair them?

Mine was bought locally.

Mine was bought locally.

In a big enough tank pairings or groups of fish are much more likely

I've heard of this species being placed in other reef aquaria.

There's one going up on LADD tonight, coincidentally

 

[Dmorty217]

I saw that, we will see what they are selling it for.

Beautiful specimen for a great price!

I'm a little shocked they were feeding it silversides.

I pulled the trigger (quickly) and got the fish. It will be going in an SPS heavy tank with wrasses and angels. Super excited!

Have you guys seen any aggression issues between cirrhilabrus/halichoeres and this fish? Once he's good to go I will use an acclimation box but I'm always a little paranoid when adding fish that look/swim like wrasses. My crew can be pretty aggressive towards other fish that look like them.

I'd like to follow your progress. I doubt anything you mentioned will harm your Parrotfish.

Someone posted in another thread that they had a problem keeping a harlequin tusk with a quoyi. I don't recall the details. I have my quoyi with a bluehead wrasse... they ignore each other.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

at some point you must have considered placing it in your reef aquarium, Peter!

 

[SDguy]

Na... the reef is only 4'

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

O no then! :lmao:
