this time you should let the parents take care the eggs !

If it is at all possible I prefer to let the parents raise the fry. I feel parent reared fry pair up more easily, are less likely to show aggression to their mate and are better parents.
 
last 2 time he took the parents out right after they finish laying eggs and the eggs get rotted !
 
In the future you should consider breeding some of these.

Your far more likely to create a fertile male because of the addition of something other than parrot to this project. Male blood parrots are sterile, jellybean parrots aren't. Along with half a dozen other parrot cross's I've seen or read about. I can almost gaurantee your F1 males will be fertile. Inbreeding is supposedly another factor in male parrot fertility.

Thats what I was thinking would happen. The way you worded it I thought you were suggesting crossing F1 with another RD but that would dilute the parrot genes.

Once I get a batch out of the convict group I am gonna move him to a 20 gallon and get me a nice texas so I can try making red texas.

Which would produce better fry, male RD x female Texas or male Texas x female Parrot?

Update: Project #2 - RD x BP
Polly is laying eggs right now, kinda. She is going over the plate as if she was but I don't see any eggs. The Sunny looks like he is just fertilizing so that good. Hopefully she start shooting out eggs.
 
Update: Project #2 - RD x BP
So why do I always end up with the dumbass fish?

I did see that Polly laid a few eggs but a few so I don't know what up with that. When she made her pass on the plate she wasn't laying any eggs, only a few. The ones she did lay, Sunny ate so this sucks. He would eat the eggs and fertilize the empty plate.

Polly is a large parrot so the plate should be filled with eggs. Could it be because she hasn't laid eggs in a few months? I am gonna ask the previous owner.
 
Im not an expert, but I read somewhere that the best red texas are result of (male Texas x female Parrot)

I can do it either way, I really want to try making those.
