There are species of parrot fish that live in saltwater, but there is also a parrot fish that lives in freshwater. Neither of these two types of fish would live for long in a small fish bowl. Both saltwater and freshwater parrot fish require at least a 30 gallon aquarium properly equipped with filtration and a heater.


Freshwater parrot fish are commonly kept by hobbyists because they are easy to keep and make great pets. These fish are the believed to be the result of interbreeding two different species of cichlids.


Another huge reason that freshwater parrot fish would not do well in a fish bowl is that they can grow to a length of over 8 inches. They are semi-aggressive and do well in most community aquariums.
