I had 2 pairs of parrots... 1 pair which spawn continuously never had their eggs hatched and eats their eggs after 3-4 days. Don't know if male was sterile or due to crowd in the tank.... But I'd lean to the sterility of males cuz I had never seen their wrigglers.... Unfortunately few days ago, the male of this pair died and now female paired with another pair's male and they spawned 2 days ago... Thinking these eggs are not fertilized, I leaved them with parents.. But today, I see some black on the eggs and after close inspection I also seen some tails :eek:
Since it seemed that make was eating them.... He do ate some wrigglers in front of me, so I removed the pot in which eggs were laid and kept them in 1-2 gallon tank..... Now the wrigglers has start to fall down.... Please tell me what to feed them after they use up their egg sacs?
Will upload the pics soon if they, survive

Ya sure... Got few wrigglers now... I don't think there will be many frys as I thought they wouldn't be fertile, so didn't took care to look after them:( .
But still better than nothing:D
And yea, Good luck with your spawning couple.... Try to get their pics and start a new thread would love to see them

Yea it's rare to get a fertile male. And I will be making a new thread if they do end up breeding:thumbup::D

Feed the fry baby brine shrimp. Frozen worked fine for my cichlids, but you can hatch your own too

Unfortunately, we don't get brine shrimps here... Atleast nearby my area.... Bought the dried daphnia for that purpose.... Will feed them when they will be free swimming if they survive... BTW any guesses on when they will be free swimming?

pic please

Well upload the pics if they survive... As I said before I thought they would be infertile so I don't took much care. Hence very few, maybe less than 10 had hatched....:( And also I had put the anti fungus liquid in the water so the water is greenish in color... So can't get clear pics....
But if any one of them survive, I'll surely update with pics
