This is my parrot pair. They share a tank in my kitchen. They are very entertaining to watch. Constantly spawning but they are infertile. The white one is very unique with bright red/orange eyes. They are about 6 inches. Enjoy!

nice looking pair you have there, I espcially like the white one. I used to have a big pair of KKPs that would breed.

do you find their colors change? WHen mine were in spwaning mode they would become bright pink colored
 
The male is definitely inferile, 99.99% of all male parrots are, but the female may not be. Only way to find out is to introduce her to a compatible breed fertile male like a flowerhorn.
 
If the female is producing eggs and laying them she is likely fertile lol. The op may not want to actually be breeding these. I think it's very cool to have a pair that is bonded yet doesn't create the hassle of having to deal with fry.
 
Like Aquatic aggression said ^ I had a pair once and they would always lay and pair up, they were never aggressive and it was all the enjoyment of watching a pair but without any of the fry to raise.

When the female died the male ended up pairing with a vieja hartwegi. if they had been reverse genders I could have bred some Kamfas
 
True, it is fun to just watch them in "breeding mode" I like being able to see the behavior without worrying about what to do with the fry. Yes, they do show some nice colors! That being said I do have a male Fh that I've thought about breeding her to but I haven't decided yet.
