Fertility on filial generations
- Thread starter hybridcichlids

By disprove, do you possibly mean you got CA to breed with SA?
I just was wondering what makes someone so sure they won't get fertile males from certain crosses? I have had people tell me I won't or even "can't" get a fertile male f-1 hybrid in certain situations. That is not the case at all.

I'm confused. I have a carpintis x blood parrot cross or f -1 red texas male. The male is fertile. It's not possible based on your theory.

Did you raise your red texas from your own batch of fry cause if not and it was sold to you as f1 hybrid you do know technically it can still be a f1 that has been the result from taking a blood parrot x carpintis= f1 red texas then faded f1 x carpintis=f1 red texas this is done for qaulity of pearls and if the second carpintis is unrelated by blood it still makes it a f1 and in this case his theory is correct but if not you got a rarity like a fertile male blood parrot which I think your chances of getting one of those is like 1:1,700,000

+1 Unless you personally bred the rt I wouldn't be so sure you know what you have. If you do have that rare one in million fertile (true) f1 male, then thank your lucky stars, you won the lottery. Inter-fertile species are the exception, not the rule.
To answer your first question, I did breed & raise this fish myself. It is a classic f-1 male rt (blood parrot x carpintis)
1:1,700,000 chance? Who comes up with this BS? Have you ever test male bp?

Well I did breed this guy myself. One in a million huh? Who told you that & what are they basing it on? Haha one in a million I'm not that lucky bro. People hear crap like this and don't even try or give up too quick. One in a million is bs....fire away

Yes I have and for your information there has only been two documented cases of male fertility but you should of already known this considereing you own blood parrots or have owned them

Although I have & currently own bps, I did not know that there is only two documented cases. That is very interesting. Did you document them? Are you sure they were real bp and not just sold as bp? When were they documented? Who had them? Who tested them? How many times did they test them? What percentage of the eggs were fertilized? What were they tested with? Can I get one? How much would it cost? Are they part of current breeding projects?

Not sure when and most likly real considereing the closest you can get to a blood parrot is a devil parrot but only slightly resembles a blood parrot which is fertile again proving the 65% theory if you found one it would most likely not be for sale and if so would be priceless and most likely documented in asia somewhere where they have giant pools filled with parrots and as far as testing goes it only takes one shot and if the eggs developed then their good and by reading info on parrots you will commonly read I have a pair of blood parrots had then for while they always lay eggs but they never hatch the thing with hybrids you have to take in consideration is when crossing genes the genes have to line up just right to make the y chromosome fully develope without that their sterile bloodparrots are like mules (horse x donkey)the males are sterile my friends parrots layed eggs time and time again and nothing and the blood parrots cousin the rose queen same thing same to fish produce it I had a male rose queen a while back paired him up with a female synspilum to make red syns they layed twice both times nothing it was a waste of time for me to buy him beautiful fish just a waste of time not money
