Well as some of you know my Texas and Parrot cichlid are a pair and has babies, well i have 2 female convicts in the tank that stick together and one of them laid eggs. Well to my surprise the one female convict that laid has fertile eggs, so i was wondering how that could be and i finally figured it out. While the female was laying her eggs and she laid them behind a flower pot where no other fish can fit, only her and her friend(which is a convict female) can fit back there. Well the Texas male tube was way out and i seen him go over in that area a few times but like i said he cant fit back there so im thinking that he went to the back of the flower pot and sprayed the eggs through the hole and the bottom of the flower pot or went around the side and sprayed them through the little crack. This was very interesting to me and i couldnt believe it, now the texas cichlid is taking care of his babies ( spawn with the Blood parrot) and the 2 convict females are taking care of 50eggs that are going to hatch either tonite or tomorrow morning lol this is crazy i will post pics in a few.
