- FINALLY WE ARE BACK!!! The computer is fixed and I can upload videos once again! I am trying to stay on an every other day basis to keep everyone entertained! If you're new here, I'm Brock and I've worked at a fish store for many years and I am here to share my personal knowledge of fish back to you :)
This beautiful parrot fish will not go unseen. The colors will light up any fish tank. While in the wild they do pick at SPS corals in order to sharpen their teeth, so reef tanks can be very risky. BUT check in the comments to see if someone else has had a different experience with them.

Hi i have quoyi parrotfish in my tank his reef safe never bite sps or Lps fun guy love his swim all the time hardy clean up on the rock eat all Green alge
Your videos are absolutely great! It's evident that you put a lot of hard work and care to make all your videos high quality! Keep up the good work :)
Jonathan Jonathannn!!! Making my night with that comment. Thank you so much dude.
Brock Leonard can he go with a longnise butterfiyfish? And your voice is so soothing
Susan Burnett He could! And thank you
Cheers Brock 👍
Hopefully this isn't taken the wrong way, I just want to make sure this amazing fish doesn't get unneeded hate. They are reef safe pretty much the only safe parrot while I'm sure there are some cases of nipping I have one in a mixed reef with no problems, I have a friend who has had one in mixed for 6 years no problems also aquaforest has one in their main DT. I think a lot of it comes down to if you feed them enough give them lots of nori and food and. You shouod have no problems with them.
I have Quoyi Parrotfish. Very reef safe . He will chase similar large wrasses like lunare . He us fine with my fairies, leopards and coris wrasses .Its not necessarily
the swimming that knocks rocks over its the rock biting in its feeding habits. They can give a powerful tug with their size and strong beak. Delicate SPS may be at risk more to this than eating it,but have seen it be fine. Avoids chomping coral. Just the rock around it. Will scrape algea growing on my clips but hasnt ate the nori sheets with my tangs. Its so odd. Eats pellets and other foods like a machine though. They are prone to internal parasites so its important ro treat them for that before you add it to your system and they should eat fine and live well. Parasites Seems to be the biggest issue with them surviving. Great interesting fish.gets pretty big . Id say 125 gallon long style minimum with good rockwork
That's A Big Male $300 Scarus Quoyi from Australia. 2:40 colors 0:52 Scarus Quoyi
Got one for 10 bucks!
That fish has beautiful colors. Great video!!
Hey. Good video. This fish will do amazing in your reef tank. Trust me on this. I live in the Caribbean. I have one in my reef tank right now infact the best place for it is a reef tank because that’s there natural environment.
This belongs in a full blown reef aquarium with lots of coral cover. He appears very stressed out in your so called fish only set up and won’t last long term. He swims in circles as your tank is too small a confined space. His dorsal fins are torn, another warning sign your parrotfish is not happy. No hiding places to feel secure. Stress eventually leads to illness. If you don’t want to do the work of maintaining a full fledged Coral reef aquarium it is best to find your parrotfish a new home. Give him to a reef keeper with the appropriate reef type aquarium to meet its needs.
Welcome back!!!!!
Meredith Morris Thank you Thank you!☺️
Uhh.... Kind of weird that you mentioned they eat sps because in nature, this particular species is a strict algae grazing herbivore. I mean I guess there's always a possibility that it eats corals as I've seen regal tangs mow down zoas and lps but I've seen a few of these and have one and knock on wood it hasn't eaten a hard coral. With that noted though, most other Parrotfish do eat stony material in search of algae. They are biting coral/rocks to process algae.
In Holland the proces are around the 75 til 100
Honestly this fish needs like 800 gallons from what I’ve seen in the wild
Aidan Armas That’s what I’m saying! They get HUGE! Need to donate them to the local aquarium once they outgrow the tank.
not all parrotfishes get to massive sizes

your videos are great you should do all about sharks
Hey what's going on man, I love your videos, always super helpful.
I just add one of these fish to my tank, but he doesn't seem super hyper. More shy than everything, but still eats. (It's only been 2 days) do they take awhile to acclimate to a new environment?
Larry Meloro The one you’re seeing took a while. Stayed behind the rocks for a couple days, not coming out for food. Eventually he came out
They are bloody delicious
How can someone eat such a beautiful fish 🐟?
@sberry55 true lol.
Can you make a video of all about the bristle worm
Dans Reef th-cam.com/video/7lzOlq6wkjA/w-d-xo.html here’s the arrow crab video. And I’ll definitely do one of the bristle worms!
OR you can buy one in the frozen section at the asian market for only 1 PAYMENT of 19.99 WOW! LOL it's funny how fishes that are food source in some countries are sold at a super high price for hobby market.
skincrx 😆😆Hahahaha I love it
Lot cheaper getting it somewhere as dead frozen food than across the world as living and healthy.
Algae is plant
can you tell about benefits of capepods
John Chriswell I definitely want to do a video on them, but for right now, they are hitchhikers that normally come from your rocks and after your tank is so old (about a year) they will breed on their own in the tank. Their main purpose in an aquarium is to be a food source to things like mandarin gobies and dragonets. You can also buy them by the bottle and dump them in the tank to speed the process up.
Any advice on Achilles Tangs? Just picked a beautiful one up 2 days ago and he's in QT before he goes in my 200 gallon non-reef tank.
Noah Firouzi th-cam.com/video/iZvu9duTxNc/w-d-xo.html this is the video I’ve done on them. Just make sure your tank stays pristine and feed em plenty :)
That's a small parrotfish, those things grow huge
TheAB Founder For real, have you seen the ones in the wild?!
@@BrockLeonard I saw one fishing today about 24 inches or longer
so sad that so many people still eat a beautiful parrot fish, mostly in asian countries..
Hi!!!
WHATS UUUUP!!!😁
Can you do the moorish idol please
Varto 1ne Definitely can!
Isn't this particular parrot fish the Hawaiian version
Being Nicole See that’s what I thought at first before doing this video, but doing some online research everyone says Australia/East Asia
@@BrockLeonard ok , thank you for the info but they do have that species or should i say that color & similar species (especially the color) there and in india
@@BrockLeonardI just realized you mentioned Asia. Anyways, I truly enjoyed watching the video and appreciate your time. Thanks & take care.
Being Nicole Thank you so much for watching ☺️
@@BrockLeonard Thank you!!! can't wait to see your future videos, continue to have fun & take care..
Is this bad to Watch in 2020?!
Not at all! If you have any additional questions, just let me know! :)
