Is there any way to sex parrots? im iterested and breeding a female with another cichlid. And what could i breed her wiht?
 
im no expert but im pretty sure parrots are sterile (cannot breed). someone correct me if im wrong
 
go to the thread "does anyone have pics of fh x bp" i believe females are breedable
 
with a carpintis
 
which is a texas cichlid?
 
males have longer more pointed dorsal and anal fins, females are more rounded, this is not always true though as with most cichlids, sometimes females have longer fineage also, but if yours has rounded fins it is most likely a female.
 
also heard like female parrots have black markings on their top fins. and they are really hard to tell even with the anal vents. but from what i know when its time to breed the area around the gills turn pink. i believe thats the female. please correct me if im wrong, i dont want to be misleaded with false information.
 
i just looked at em. 3 are female 2 are male according to the roundin/pointy theory. i only one of the parrots is truly mine, parents bought the rest. And my younger what which is about the same size, it's about 5" is a female. so i would like to breed her with something. What all can she breed with? Mike fail suggests carpintis?
