My Freshwater Jellybean Parrot just laid eggs2007-11-24 23:38:27

Iast week 2 of my other fish died. no idea why. then a few days ago my fish was digging with his, now i found out her. nose and moving stones in my tank. i just noticed in a big hole in the back there are little bubble looking things ( eggs ) against the glass near the bottom..i think it mated with a kissing gourami. since that was the only fish close to its size which just recently died .

i have no clue what to do . idid not expect this. i have a peacock eel about 3 1/2 inches. a pleco which is about 5 inches a tiny paradise fish which i think is no harm. and 3 little spotted sucker fish things. the mom is being very protective so at this point idont think i have much to worry about since she isnt leaving her eggs side. but when they hatch what should i do. the only other tank i have is a 10 gallon with 2 goldfish. and the eggs look stuck so idont wanna try to remove them.. can anyone give me a few tips on what to do please.. and what should i do if most of them live to maturity?

(Smile), Trust me when I say you parrot fish did not mate with your gourmi, lol. It just doesn鈥檛 go down like that (smile).

Although Parrots have been known to mate and even lay eggs, generally they are infertile. There have been sporatic cases of successful spawnings, generally when they have been crossed with a non-hybrid fish. Like other cichlids, Blood Parrots will tend the eggs and resulting fry fastidiously. As with any eggs, those that are infertile will turn white and rapidly fungus. The parents will eat infertile eggs to prevent them from spreading fungus to the fertile eggs. Once the eggs hatch, daily water changes of 25% are critical to ensure the health of the fry. Fresh baby brine shrimp are the optimum food during the first couple of weeks. Often pet shops will carry frozen baby brine shrimp, which can also be used. As they fry grow, they can be weaned to fine fry food.
