A club for owners of Parrot Cichlids

I posted about a month ago that I have gotten a pair of breeding jellybeans from a lady that had been selling the babies from them. I tried setting up my tank as close to her's as possible, but they have laid eggs 3 times but never hatched.

After all this, I was wondering if a could add a pure convict. Should I get just another male or pair? Any advice please?

Thanks,

I trusted a Salesman. For shame.

If interested in my Parrots fry, email me at lacy_bruce_forever@yahoo.com
They are not dyed they are just the pale cream color.

I have a breeding pair of Parrots, and I am looking for someone to take the fry off my hands. I will continue to breed them as long as they want to breed. I was told that the male was sterile but I have fry swimming around. Anyone that wants any, please message me. I do not know much about them. I am new to this all, I have had them for 4 whole months now, and they breed and killed off the other fish in the tank. They killed both of my oscors.

I just noticed I had some eggs in the corner of my tank and its just two blood parrots and two placostumus. There is nothing separtating anything. So I am wondering what I need to do and if they actually hatch what I need to do with the frys and feed them. Anyone got any suggestions?

Does anyone know if a BP can breed with a redheaded cichlid?

Hi,

A lady gave me three jellybean parrots today. Two were a pair that had successfully mated several times earlier and a baby that didn't survive the ride home.

I have them with a heater, biological fitration system, and tank decor. Is there anything else that I will need to do so that they keep breeding in my tank.

Thanks,

She (her name is junior because we couldn't tell what sex she was) lays eggs as long as there is any type of male cichlid in the tank. i found out cher is male but also sterile. they tried to breed twice and all the eggs died twice. i moved cher and she now is trying to breed with my geophagus brasilensis. i hope that works i think it would look pretty cool a long finned parrot with lots of spangles. we will see in a few days. the eggs just may end up being lunch again

There is a lady that has been raising jellybean parrots for a couple of years and she has gotten tired of her parrots and is giving them to me. Do you think that if they are switched over to my tank, in which I have two parrots in now, will hurt anything? I would like them to keep breeding, but I'm not real sure about it. Anyone who knows anything about breeding parrots or jellybeans, please let me know!

My blood parrot cichlids have been laying eggs and when I see the eggs I always vaccuum them up, until this time. I decided to take a picture of the eggs in hopes to find out if it is possible to tell by looking at them if they are fertile or not. If my blood parrots were in that small percent that could be fertile, I'd feel guilty for destroying them. A lot of the eggs are a clearish color but then there are a few here and there that are white. There are no other fish in the tank other than the two blood parrots. I guess my question is: Can these eggs hatch?
