Uh oh! Look what happened...

So as I was doing a water change yesterday, I noticed the male convict... wandering for lack of a better term. Some of the fry were getting picked off, and the female parrot was really stressing. I decided to move them out. I siphoned almost all of them and I have them in the 10g. The 10g had cherry shrimp and a betta in it. I fed the cherry shrimp to my Green terror tank (which they loved) and I have the betta in a temporary tub until I decide what to do with him.
The fry in the 10g seem to be doing well. It's moderately planted filtered by a powerhead/sponge combo already and I fed them last night. There are roughly 100-150 I'd guess in there, and there are actually some still in the 125g that I missed. Looks like about 20-30 or so. So a significant number of fry did get picked off in the 125g and I'd guess the same fate for the remaining handful.
I'll feed and monitor the large group myself and hopefully raised a few to get a good idea what they will look like. As these are hybrid fish, NONE will leave my tanks. They will either be culled, or kept.
I'll do my best to keep you all updated with pictures of growth as we go along.

Yeah, I didn't think it was that easy.
So if Jellybean parrots have no parrot 'genes', then why are they called Jellybean Parrots? I've seen short bodied pink cons before, but they were not called Jellybean parrots. I think there must be some Parrot genes in there somewhere...

I found more info supporting my statement then the other persons. I still stand by what I have said.

Because Jellybean parrots looks like a blood parrot. Jellybean parrot is just madeup name that LFS given to SB pink convicts to make a quick buck, its a fact.
I hope you dont find more information from the interent which most of them were false. You should find some useful information on this forum about Jellybean parrots.Chrisplosion;4448242; said:

I need more info than they 'look like a blood parrot'. I agree they do, but show me where you've found proof that Jellybean parrots have been bred, without the use of a parrot.

Please, share. I am interested to find out exactly what I have, and exactly what a Jellybean Parrot is.
Jellybean parrots are bred by use inbreeding of two closely related of pink convicts that has deformed/short spine traits and the results of the mating is the short-bodied pink convicts aka Jellybean parrot. There was never any blood parrot involving. You can find shortbodied oscars, shortbodied green terrors, shortbodied flowerhorns and shortbodied texas, none of them has blood parrot in them. (except some strains of shortbodied flowerhorn do have blood parrot)
