Blood Parrot Breeding Success

[unkle_billy]

Just wondering has anyone ever successfully bred Blood Parrots? I have never once seen proof of a successful spawn. I would love to see some pictures of parents with fry. Even just pics of juvenile Blood Parrots at like 1"

Theres a bit of a trick to doing it though..

my uncles learnt how to do it too but there is a trick to it

Lol, i'm going to guess no one wants to share this trick lol...

Hmmmm....is the trick having another male cichlid in there to fertilize the eggs? My blood parrot pair tries about every two weeks like clockwork but no success yet.

Yeah I don't believe anyone's uncle or friend has bred blood parrots. If they had it would no doubt be well documented and someone could provide a pic of perhaps parents guarding fry or something of the like.... but no one can.

its something like that he doesnt breed parrot to parrot but he breeds a female parrot with something and some of the fry turn out parrotish looking

 

[unkle_billy]

I could see that. Parrotish though? You mean not quite parrot?

i believe he has a female red parrot and a short body midas x kkp thats fertile most of their fry turn out shortish and with a devil face but some do turn out looking parrot
