...with 82 fehrenheit. ? i had 2 parrots in my 95 gal tank. i have 4 discus and 2 black ghosts in there as well. without any signs of sickness, the 2 parrots died in a matter of a week. they just stopped eating out of no where.
 
Are you asking about the South American Parrot Cichlid that occurs in nature or the grotesque hybrids produced in Singapore?
It's quite possible that the presence of the Knife fish and their nocturnal antics is the reason for losing the Bloody Parrots.
 
The PH and temperature parameters seem to be in line. The two parrots may have been sick when you got them. It doesn't seem that your tank conditions were the cause... what were you feeding?
