Lol the animal comes off like an ass sometimes but you gotta understand his point.
I don't have all the knowledge about these fading orange/red fish but I know of blood parrot, kkp, skkp, or ingot. Other than those names... I wouldn't buy. But that's just the research and knowledge I have.
You obviously bought this fish under this name BEFORE doing research which is never the best thing to do. THAT is the point animalguy is making... maybe someone has bought some under the same name will chime in and shed some light. This will be interesting...

The Animal is an ass, there is no reason to be "That guy" that is all knowing.
I know the difference between Mammon, BP, KKP, Rose Queen. I've kept BP and KK before and All I am simply asking is does anyone know what a persimmon parrot is.
I'm not giving answers, But he is giving me what I don't want to hear. I'm asking what one is, I know enough to know that they are not regular BP's. I trust the source, I trust the breeders who also supplied some stunning regular BP's to the same store. I Bought the persimmon as they were noticably different and I wanted to grow one out and see what it turns into.
Don't give me this crap about names being used to sell fish, I have never seen a BP labelled as anything else, I have never even seen Dyed BPs for sale.
If you have nothing to contribute besides negativity then just keep your mouth shut and let others contribute.
Crush, Don't treat me like the idiot who runs out and buys an oscar for his 20 gallon. I've kept fish for over 12 years and have a 225g aquarium.
I saw persimmon parrots for sale weeks ago, googled it several times and tried to find information. I couldn't find anything except a few breeder sites in asia that listed them as a form of KKP. Also found an old thread on here with basically everyone saying "No clue". I went to the store again with the intention of buying the persimmon parrot REGARDLESS of having no information. Its in a 120 gallon aquarium with other small cichlids being kept under much better conditions than a lot of the fish on this site so don't give me the speech about not researching the fish before I bought it.
Seriously can nobody answer a straight up question without going all therapist on me and trying to judge my fish husbandry
