A.PROPHECY Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 parrots are usually infertile , will lay eggs and fan them but you would very lucky to get a fertile male i think, correct me if im wrong tho.. things could of changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Welcome to the forum spaceman. The picture looks like a white convict x parrotfish to me :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Thats what i thought, but i got some of there fry about a month ago and i realy liked them and they are doing fine and geting bigger. So i went there today and the parents were forsale so i got them today and they are in there own tank and they seem to have settled in fine, coming up to the top when i walk past and playing around with each other. I havnt seen any before and i diddnt get told much and cant find much on them, but if they have breed before i hope they will for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 wow. they look pretty interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 you got fry from them? wow suprising. did you see the parents with the fry? the female can be crossed with a convict so if there was convicts in that tank its possible thats how there was fry, or you were lucky enough to get a fertile male! good luck keep us up to date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 The fry were in a tank next to them and the parents were in there own tank. They told me they are there fry and they look the same so fingers crossed!! So i diddnt see the fry with them but the pair were by themselfs, i guess if i see new fry i will know lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I got home today and they have laid eggs, but they seem to be prety dark in colour!? any ideas what this means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-town... Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 have you got any pics of adults? you sure they not just white/pink convicts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the bad photos but its hard!!! and 1st time uploading photos so i hope it works :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 To me they look like convicts except the female has yellow on her instead of pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Im sure they are pink convicts now, they just look very similar and there seems to be bugger all on white dwarf parrots. I went back to the shop where i got them from and they told me they were going to check so i dont think they 100% knew themselfs. Thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
