Huh. I've heard of fertile male parrots, but I'd never really seen one in person(still haven't...). There IS a way to 'trick' cichlid parents into raising fry that aren't theirs, believe it or not. Think about the cuckoo catfish, who employ a switcheroo tactic. (
) Maybe (and I'm not saying he did this, but it's a possibility, I've done it before...) he stuck a little siphon full of another specimen's fertile eggs into the batch, and they came out, with parents to guard them. Dunno, maybe I'm wrong. But anything is a possibility. I'd also like to point out that in his video on the growing of the fry (
) he never once shows the fully grown forms of the little things, and that their body shape is not exactly that of a Parrot hybrid type (includes blood parrots, KKP, Mammon, flowerhorn, Crystal Parrots). He could be doing it right and I could be the idiot here, but it just seems odd that their shape and color is like that. Also, their fry numbers are much lower than expected of parrots of their size (6-7" should produce around 800-1200 eggs, I had a pair of 5" parrots with 800 infertile eggs or so).
