Hi All

my parrot recently laid eggs. it did the same last year but ate all of those eggs, this time i was carefull so have put those eggs in a big pot inside the same aquarium out of reach of all fish. they have been staying there for over 40 hours now. i dont know what to do&how to get real fish out of those eggs. i have 3 parrot living in the same pond over 3 years now all three are active & healthy. they all are abt 4-5 inches in size. i was not aware of the parrot laying eggs & have recently added 2 new koi karps in my tank. i also have 2 sharks arnd 6 inches. my tank dimensions are 42L, 18W,18H, arnd 42 gallons.

it would be kind of you all to provide some advise to keep the eggs in good shape & get fish out of it.

Thanks & Regards
Sahil

Re: my parrot laid eggs. what to do??

i dont think there is anything u can do to make it happen :( the reason it happens so we can buy them is because they inject them w/hormones in a lab to make them fertile to sell. and yes u should remove them if they r turning white, that means fungus is growing on them and they wont hatch :( im sorry. and next time ,i would say that u dont really have to seperate them. parrots r amazing parents! they will gaurd there eggs feircely, and if they r not viable then they know to eat them ( most times). if they dont, then we have to do it. which they hate us for, for a couple days. but we have to because they will mess up the water if we dont. again, im sorry :(

well im sorry to say that the reason they ate them last time was because they were growing fugus most likely. something like 90% of male bps r sterile. so she will lay eggs,but he cant fetilize them. if after 2-3 days the eggs turn a white color then there growing fungus and have to be removed or they will fowl up the water :( i hate that they cant have babies. mine try all the time.

hi thanks for the reply. but as i told u i have kept them away from the fish in the same pond so does that mean that it wont hatch & yes i do see 2 of the eggs getting white should i remove them myself or not?? second could i get babies out of it or not at all. i mean some where someone surely would make that happen thats how we get parrots in pet stores or market. so it cannot be possible that they wont hatch. if u have any info how i can make that possible please reply.
