I have nearly 14 goldfishes of size nearly 2 to 4 inches. Can I keep a blood parrot with them?

No, blood parrots are way too aggressive for the friendly goldfish. And unless your tank is over 140 gallons its over stocked so you can't add any fish anyway.

If the blood parrot is near the same size I don't see why not. Just make sure you don't already have too many fish in a tiny tank. Remember for a 1in fish it needs atleast 10 gallons. So if you have 14 4in goldfish, you'd need like 560 gallon tank. If not, eventually you'd be killing the fish by overcrowding and stunting their growth.
Best thing would to either deal with the fish you already have or better yet get rid of 70% of them to a local fish store. Then you can add in a blood parrot and actually show you know or care about keeping fish for longer than a month before killing 90% of them.

you are able to placed a heater in it, even with the undeniable fact that i do no longer think its a could. 2 winters interior the previous I left my goldfish in my backyard pond all winter long and all even with the undeniable fact that 3 lived on an identical time as the ice melted and gained warmer. I had 25 gold fish interior the pond. And my graden pnd isn't extremely deep. If I stand interior the midsection of it it is composed of somewhat above the knee cap. Then I had a pair of die interior the summertime and on an identical time as winter have been given here very final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days I placed the something in a 55 gallon fish tank and that was once 18 gold fish. this summer time I placed them back out interior the pond. So its what's going to artwork friendly for you. in case you do leave the fishin the pond this winter and that they do no longer make it then purely pass to the keep and purchase new gold fish to interchange the only's that died. properly sturdy fortune.

Mixing with other fishes:
The blood parrot is a cross-bred from cichlids parents, and you would expect these fish to be highly territorial and aggressive. However, these fish are surprisingly shy and peaceful - and many owners have successfully kept them in a community tank with other mid-size fish such as danios, angelfish, and catfishes. However, true to their parents' heritage, these fishes can be highly territorial and may fight with their tank mates if kept in a community tank.
If these fishes are kept with other cichlids, care should be taken to ensure that their tank mates are not overly-aggressive.

Because a blood red parrot is a hybrid, its behaviour is rather unpredictable. I would not advise you to keep it with your goldfish.
However you might want to try it out for a couple of days and then make a decision.

they should be similar size. blood parrots really dont like eating fish..but will nip at them since they are so territorial.
