Those are parrot cichlids. DO NOT buy them please. To get those colors the fish are injected and dipped in chemicals. The process is cruel and very painful for the fish. To top it off, the fish lose their color and die within a few months. It is one of the worst things ever done to fish.

They are parrot fish and they are also injected with dye to make them those colors. They run anywhere between 30 and 70 bucks per fish. They also need at least a 50 gallon tank and plenty of hiding places and must be kept with their breed.

Also you will not find them at any Pet Smart as the fish are not their natural color.

They are called parrot fish, the jellybean type to be more specific. The reason they are called jellybean parrotfish is because they are cruelly dyed bright colors, this is a link about them. Here is a link about the freshwater care for them carehttp://www.geocities.com/parrotcichlid/main.html

They are parrot fish and they range in price depending on store/breeder, color and size, anywhere from 5 to 100.

Yes, please don't buy those! Even if you don't care how painful it is for the fish to undergo the dying, they're expensive, the color doesn't last for long, and neither do the fish.
