I thought males were sterile females wrnt? if there always sterile how can u breed them to others an get the jellybean parrots or whatever there called.

Almost sure it's a SHE. And yes, although most males are sterile, most females ARE fertile. They breed with almost anything... White convicts, synspillum, RDs, midas, texas, GTs, firemouths and so on.

Best regards.

Doesnt matter the sex. They are always sterile. Same goes when you mix a horse with a donkey. You get a mule, and its sterile every single time. Incredibly few exceptions.

Interesting, this site says max is 6", but my Marine Bio teacher has a pair that are pushing 12" each. They breed, but eggs get eaten. Funny, he keeps them with a 7" female midas/rd (who knows these days) and she gets pushed around!
