Thanks for watching...

In the western Atlantic from Maryland in the United States to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and south of Brazil, lives a fish called the blue parrot fish witch is also a member of the parrot fish genus.

Slowly moving through coral reefs in shallow waters

They are uniformly blue with a yellow spot on their heads that fades as they age. No other species has this uniform blue color as adults blue parrot fish


The blue parrot fish can grow 30 to 75 centimeters in length some even reaching
1.2 meters in length and almost weighing 9 and a half kilograms.

They develop a large "beak" like other parrotfish witch they will used for scraping algae and small organisms from rocks on the seabed. The beak is shaped into a arch shape Known as pharyngeal teeth that can grind rocks into sand.


In summers blue parrotfish gather in spawning groups. Sexual interaction occurs and the females deposit their eggs into the water column after which they sink to the bottom of the seabed. The eggs hatch after about twenty-five hours.


The blue parrotfish has a wide range and is abundant in much of that range, some of which is in marine conservation areas. Although larger individuals are targeted by fishermen, the population of this fish seems to be stable overall.
