Jack Dempsey Parrot fry possible?

Thu, 03/04/2010 - 02:39 — Chrisplosion


I'm pretty sure my Dempsey is a male. If Mr. Bubbles is a Mrs. Bubbles could they have fry? What would it be, Jack Parrots? Blood Dempseys? The Dempsey kinda follows Mr. B around. Mr. B would fight with my other parrot when it was in the tank but not the Dempsey.

I am just curious how blood

I am just curious how blood parrots are so common if all the males are sterile? how do the procreate? This doesn't make sense to me. I'm wondering if its just a rumor being spread by anti parrot people to make people not want to breed them. If someone could clear this up for me it would be great.
I'm also curious of the different types of cichlids that bps can breed with. Ive heard of convicts, severums, flowerhorns, green terrors. Id just like to know if anyone has actually successfully bred any other types of cichlids with bps or these types.
Thank you.
I will post pics of my parrots when i get a chance. 3 in a 75 for now.

Re: I am just curious how blood

they inject the males with hormones in the fish farms they have them in or whatever so they r fertile to create more. that wares off quickly though so they dont stay fertile.in any hybrid the males r usually sterile, its natures way off not letting us get TO out of hand with her work :) there r a very small portion of male bps that arent sterile, but its almost like a fluke and its would be like winning a lottery to find one. thats why u see on this site all the time, people with bps that lay eggs that never hatch (like me). its sad though, they would make great parents. but they keep tryin anyway :(

I think they inject them with something to bring out here color like Oscars and that makes them sterile or its something they eat before they ship them out, that ways they have to buy the from them making them cost more. Kinda like how doing steroid shrinks your balls and make you sterile.

Yeah, I said its normal behavior. They should be nocturnal now but will switch to day time. Mine sometimes hide in the top corner of the tank. http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Catfish,%20Pictus.htm

fry possible?

yes, most certainly, female blood parrots are hussy's, they will pair off with any suitable male
