[edit] Reasons for the controversy

Could someone who is knowledgeable about this subject explain the controvery? Why is it a "Frankenstein fish?" Is it because it is a cross-bred fish, or are there other reasons? (And if it is because it is a cross-breed, why is that so bad?) --12.154.39.254 14:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

It's because this cross breed results in various anatomical disabilities. These are detailed in the "Physical Description" section, but I've added a bit more clarifying language to the sentence that introduces the idea of the controversy. -Stellmach 17:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Good article, by the way.--Raulpascal 23:51, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

Should the second word really be capitalized here? Dekimasu 13:44, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes 74.241.140.49 07:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I have moved the article to Blood parrot cichlid per the examples of Firemouth cichlid, Electric yellow cichlid, Convict cichlid, Keyhole cichlid, Red devil cichlid... and to correct the capitalization issue. Please contact me if there are any problems. Dekimasu 05:46, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
