Breeding parrot and Flowerhorn

[robfishies]

Hello. My flowerhorn recently paired off with a female parrot. About 2 days ago i put them together and today i put in the plate. I’ve made a place where the female parrot goes inside of there is aggression. I haven’t seen any aggression and they have been showing breeding signs. Any suggestions on how i could speed up the process or not mess it up? My flowerhorn is a kml ZZ fader( in the middle of the fading process)

Congrats!
Big water changes usually stimulates breeding. It’s best to pet things happen as natural as possible though.

How do i know if the female tube has dropped? I have noticed something coming out but i’m not sure if that’s the sex organ lol. Not very familiar with parrots. Here’s a picture of her vent and what i think is the tube

Parrots make venting hard, but I’d guess male.

Well she was female and today we got eggs! The male was fertilizing them and the female was picking off the white ones.

I wouldn’t expect anything to come out of it though. 99.99% of male parrots are infertile.
