CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

My parrot fish just layed eggggggggs eeeeeeek I seperated eggs due to nasty whatever I have big fish( hehehe) how long is incubation? then what? they are in a breeding tank but away from mom? any suggestions and quick???

From what I've heard not all parrot fish can make viable fry. Many(or most?) are sterile from what I've heard since they are a crossbreed....(like a mule, which is a cross of a horse and a donkey).

got about 50 eggs now turning white and its day 3 is this good news or bad?

probably bad, usually indicates eggs are fungusing....if they're 'all' like that could be they were never really fertilized etc...

Thanks Joe...unfortunately you were correct in that the eggs did not survive, maybe next time.
