Ive had my trimac for about a year, i got him from my lfs because they knew i was into bigger fish. I got a call from them asking if i wanted it because it was too aggressive, so i got him for free. Picked up a nice blood parrot from the same place for $10 about 6 inches. Now that i know the parrot is female i would like to breed her with the male trimac. The trimac is currently in a 75 alone, the parrot is in a 125 with 2 oscars and a gobi that is about 10 inches....How do i go about breeding the 2?

Yup a free trimac! what happened was a customer brought it in with a new guy at my lfs and said he couldnt keep it anymore, after a day the trimac was so aggressive it damaged quite a few other fish. So i got the call to come get him if i wanted him. Being a full size trimac its hard for my lfs to keep full grown fish as they take up a lot of room for a long time
Get a divider, egg-crate, for the 75. Put a small dish on the side with the BP ,next to the egg-crate.Terracotta plates for house plants work well.Put the BP in with the Trimac, on the side with the plate. When(if) she lays eggs,the Trimac can fertilize them through the egg-crate.

That sounds like a good idea, that way i dont have to worry about the trimac beating u the BP.
You got a point if I had a female true trimac I would gladly breed the two, and if I also had the tank space to house a full grown trimac. Number 2 I am into hybrids and I would like to see the offspring.
..im sure he can do what he likes with his fry...and im sure there are people who enjoy hybrids..
yay free fish!! good luck!!!!
