Fish suitable to keep with parrot fish include the oscar, red-tailed shark (fortune fish), silver arowana, and flowerhorn. Oscars are naturally lazy, so with parrot fish there is no worry of fighting; fortune fish are gentle and usually do not attack others and can dodge parrot-fish attacks, so they also suit mixing.
Parrot fish can also be kept with silver arowana; parrot fish swim mainly at the bottom while silver arowana move in the middle and upper layers, so the two rarely clash.
