Bonsai Flowerhorn x Blood Parrot Breeding Project
- Thread starter Chrisplosion
- Start date
The female looks a little fatter like she might be getting eggs. But not much progress has been made. She has been digging out her log so you can now see the glass bottom but she doesn't let the male in the log or close to it. The male jumped over the divider on to the other side of the tank so I moved the other parrot to the females side. Gonna try splitting them up and reuniting them in a few days.
Update:
No eggs after almost a month. But the male is now larger than the female. Plus the female no longer chases away the male from the possible nesting site.

I'm positive they have formed a pair bond, now we play the waiting game. Birthday babies for tomorrow would be awesome but that won't happen.
Grow them out to a sellable size then sell and/or give them away. I will probably keep a handful of the best ones to grow out further.
It all depends on if the female will get off her high horse and do the nasty, I am pretty sure the male is now old enough. I also need to find another suitable female because I have a nice ZZ I have growing out that I want to see what I get from. I also picked up a Green Texas that I might try for some Red Texas. I also also picked a male and female Salvini I wanna try and breed. I have 4 projects and a lot of impatience.

I really need to find 2 good female parrots but its kind of hard to do because I not many of the stores are gonna let you vent in the store with purchase.
Heres an update picture of the pair.

Separated them for a day because I was trying to figure out where to put the new large flowerhorn I bought. Put them back together this morning and it seems the female is digging pits.
