Fee Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 I have a pair of Red Parrot cichlids in my shop who have spawned, however I been reading up and apparently, due to the fact they are hybrids, the male is supposed to be sterile. Further searching on the internet has shown a few people claiming to have sucessfully bred these fish. I was wondering if anyone in NZ had any info on weather this is possible? or if anyone has had a similar experience. I should know tommorrow if this spawing has been a success as the eggs will either have fungus or not.

Fee Posted March 14, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 Well, the spawning wasn't a success they ate all the eggs which had contracted fungus- most likely due to them not being fertilised. It's a pity as parrots are one of my favorite fish and it would have been great to have bred my own. Oh well, they'll probably have another go next month; I'll have to wait and see.
