About 99.999999% of male parrots are infertile. So even if I put him with a female they likely wouldn't have a successful spawn.
 
A couple more pictures, including the best shot I could get of the vent. Can anyone help with sexing? He/she is too young for me to tell.

LBathory, you can keep your eye open on places like Aquabid, but I really lucked into mine. I looked for years with no success, but I just moved to FL where one of the LFS owners has the luxury of handpicking fish from one of the fish farms nearby. I requested orange-and-white parrots and he was able to find three in a vat of 1000 parrots. They're very rare; however, I did see one at a Petsmart in FL too.
 
I'm not sure how I lucked out, but this fish is turning out to be awesome. I was doing a water change today and got bitten several times! For a little parrot this guy is becoming absolutely fearless. Also, he attacks my hand outside the glass all the time. I swear, it's got the personality of a Midas/RD rather than baby parrot.
