GoodDwrecktions Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 So our blood parrot (female) and convict (male) have reproduced. Their fry is living in a cave they dug. I'd like to keep some of them alive if I can. How long before I must move them out. There are a lot of other fish in the tank that I'm sure can't wait to snack on the fresh hatched!

jvision Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 While I've never been a fan of letting aquarium-bred hybrids live, it seem to be all the rage now. Typically for Central American cichlids, if you want to raise the fry, you remove them once they're free swimming if you want to raise them artificially (w/o their parents). If you decide to sell them, make sure that you inform your buyers of what they are... the parrot is already an hybrid, so you've just Frankensteined a Frankenstein!

GoodDwrecktions Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Basically they've created a bunch of little weirdos! I'm really interested to see what they are going to look like! Certainly a hybrid of a sorts. They are great parents though. Really solid team work! They are housing the fry pretty much right out in the open in the middle of the tank. The dedication these creatures have is astounding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
