Parrot Breeding

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
As few as 1 in 20 male parrots may be fertile I did not believe it myself until my LFS had a breeding pair that had successful fry that grew into parrots
 
I was wondering the same thing about how to tell male and female apart?I just got a pair with the tank I just bought for free..I seen one digging a hole so I thought for laying eggs but nothing yet.There is also a electric blue african in there maybe hes messing things up??
 
try to cross a female king kong parrot with a male flowerhorn with a large ko. youll get wonders.

what I was told was the egg tube on the female is really visable.I only have my male left now after trying to breed her with a red devil and he killed her overnight:cry:
 
what if you have a female parrot and a male FM ...is it possible for them to breed. cause thats what is in one of my tanks and was wondering...there all still small but if they will breed i might seperated the FM...i dunno FM and parrot hybrid that sounds...well:screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :ROFL: .

My BRP's lay eggs every couple of weeks. The male goes through the motions of fertilization, but he's sterile.
Mine lay on the inside of a clay pot. I will warn you though, it takes a while forthem to be sexually mature.
The way that you tell males from females is the female when she is getting close to laying, will drop a breeding tube down. It's pretty obvious.
