I have eggs! blood parrotx krirn parrot

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
should I leave the dad in the tank then? I just get nervous because he has killed anything ever been with him except her...Thank you for your input!!
 
I think she started to eat the wigglers....do you guys think next time they lay on the pot, I should just put the pot in its own tank to see if they hatch? there are still 20-50 eggs that are going to hatch, should I move the pot now?
 
Make sure she is indeed eating them first, the parents generally pick the tiny fry up and move them to a prepared pit or other nursery area. You may not see them for a few days after that, don't panic, mom & dad will lead them around the tank from pit to pit, and make sure they find food as soon as the babies can swim. If that sounds too nerve racking do something now, transfer the spawn site (if you can) to a large bowl of water, and then transfer it to a tank filled with water from the old tank. Use airstones but be careful, these eggs are hatching now, you don't want to tumble fry all over the tank. Good luck...if you could do it, removing the parents to other tanks would be so much better.
