blood parrot cichlids spawned

What's that famous quote from JURASSIC PARK:

"Nature always finds a WAY...."

Something like that. Good luck.

Im interested if the eggs ever hatched or what happened?I have 2 BPs right now but I cant tell what sex they are??Can anyone help with this??

 

[chillaxe]

there is reported cases of the eggs hatching and the fry surviveing. only the males are suposed to be infertile.

Sorry if i sound stupid but if the male is infertile how does this happen?I mean doesnt he have to fertilize the eggs for them to hatch?

 

[e!o!z!]

Two theories on way the males are infertile (i.e donkey bred with Horse will be an infertile mule). One is that is just the natural result of crossing the red devil with what ever fish they say they are useing now to get the blood parrots. The other theory is that blood parrots are treated with a chemical sertilizer by the breeders before they are shipped to the out. It seems to work only on the males if this is true because I have breed my female blood parrot to a flowerhorn twice now with live fry to show for it. I would think that the frist theory holds more water because of the females being fertile.

I understand that part but what about them still having fry that dint last long?How do they even have fry when he is sterile?
