newbie at breeding

[paulz01]

So my king kong parrots decided to mate. It's their first time breeding they started laying eggs and implanting sperm today. Around 12pm.

I came home around 10pm and see the mother eating the eggs. So i took the eggs and put it in my hospital tank.

Now my question is: are the white ones the fertilized eggs and the clear ones are not?

The white ones are the bad ones. Usually the parrot fish can not have babies. The males are sterile. Good Luck!

I've heard that as well so if you get anything out of this, it would be great! Keep us posted, I'll be checking in.

parrot males are usually infertile. If your hatch you have a very expensive & rare male. So i wish you good luck.

White eggs are dead eggs filled with fungus, the clear eggs still have a chance. If after 2 days u do not see any black dots on any eggs then they are not fertilized

you need to be careful, because that fungus can spread to the other eggs, and ruin them if they are potentially viable from what i know.

as was said, i think its something like 95% of the male parrots are supposedly sterile, so overwhelming chances are all the eggs will turn white.

good luck to you even if eggs turn white you have a good female and she can be bred with other fish such as carpintas (escondido Texas) and have very sweet fry
if you have babies i would love to buy 10-20

if it happen's again use a turkey baster or an eye dropper to get rid of the white one's.. But as stated most BP are sterile.
