Parrot fish Hybrids..

I always wondered about Parrots if they are able to have babies I have heard alot about them and how they cant have fertile eggs, but I went to this fish place the little while back and They had a Parrot in this tank and it said not for sale, so I was wondering why, I looked into the tank to see a bunch of babies... I was very confused as to why it had babies when I heard they could only lay infertile eggs...?
If people would take the time to read the original post..
Females are fertile, Males are not.(Typically)
Females will cross-breed with anything that will fertilize the eggs.

I think the King Kong parrots that are becoming more widely spread, are model of the flowerhorn. They will breed alot more willingly with other large cichlids, such as Midas/Red Devil. The original parrots would not do this, nor grow as large. It was rumored that the original parrot fish was crossed genetically in a labratory, with a petri dish. Perhaps that is why the original parrots are not sterile (Or the scientist who created them, INTENDED on them to be sterile, so he could make the money off them).. BUT, Then I believe the Taiwan ornamental fish people noticed they could make a very similiar parrot fish out of a strain of flowerhorns, midas, devils, and other large, bright orange cichlids.
Alot of people are attempting to breed them, more often in Asia, however.. I recently adopted out my female Parrot fish which would cross with a pink convict. The new owner (BGG) is going to try to cross it would a Midas, so hopefully MFK will soon have some documentation on this!

Hello there... Thank you for all your posts!
Has anyone tried hand stripping parrots? I was thinking that it would be a nice and quick way to test cross breeding results.
