Hey
My tank has four fish, electric blue acara (mature male), geophagus atrifons (presumed male) and a juvi Vieja Gutt. And I just added an adult female blood red parrot female.
She just laid her second batch of eggs, the first went infertile.
The thing is that I don't see any of the fish looking to fertilize and she seems to push all of the other fish away from the eggs. Do I need to find a male that she is compatible with? Will one of the males learn what to do?
I have never successfully bred fish but would love to get the blue acara to fertilize the eggs, I think that could be a cool hybrid.
