nope, not parrot, these are pink convicts, and the bright orange spot only on females belly's:)

you are both wrong and right at the same time, both fish are convict/jellybean cross. there parents are a male jelly and a female convict

we have these at home and they breed like crazy, weve always been puzzled as to what they actually are weve been told there white convicts, jelly bean parrots, dwarf convicts. Ours are all different tho our males are big and have a very round shape to them much like a jellybean parrot and have tints of orange in them, but our females are dwarfs and are very orange. If someone could give me a guide to what they are so when we sell our fry we know what to list them as. Non of our local fish keepers sell them and theres never people selling them private are these quite rare. Hope some one can help and if so ill try get some pictures arranged to show you the different types we do have. cheers
