Unintentional breeding.. Parrot fish..

[richard yung]

Hey guys!

So I've had this nice 7-8 inch red mammon along with 4 4 inch red ingots in my 180 for about 7 months now. They coexist fine with silver Arowana, peacock bass, clown loach and my ornate bichir. Today I noticed what appears to be eggs on the side of a rock. I believe it's my red mammon and one of my red ingots breeding. Does anyone know what should I do? Do I take the eggs out and put them in my 55 gallon? ( I have tetras and rasboras in that tank)

Will these eggs even spawn? I heard somewhere that red mammon technically can never lay eggs or be fertile. Please help!

It looks like most the eggs are already either dead or were never fertilized. If they all turn white, you're out of luck.

Male parrot fish are typically infertile. Those eggs are definitely no good. Scrape them off. Just fouling the water at this point. Sorry
