If parrot fish mate with each other, they can not give birth to small fish. Because the parrot fish is a hybrid fish, the male fish is not fertile. Even if the female fish laid eggs, the male fish can not fertilize it, and unfertilized eggs can not hatch into small fry. Therefore, the same kind of mating parrot fish will not give birth to small fish.
In order for parrot fish to reproduce, females can only be crossed with males of other species. Like the purple red mouth fish, longevity fish, red devil fish, can be used as a partner with the female fish. After successful fertilization of the eggs laid by the female fish, the male fish can hatch in about 2 to 3 days.
Female parrot fish still have the ability to lay eggs, but the male fish do not have the ability to fertilize. Because the parrot fish's parents are the red devil fish and the purple mouth fish. Therefore, when breeding, it is better to use them as male parents and parrot fish as female parents for breeding. When the female is sexually mature, she produces eggs, which are then fertilized by a red devil fish or a purple mouth fish. After successful fertilization, the eggs will gradually turn black. At this time, keep the water temperature between 28 C and 29 C, they can give birth to small fish in 2 to 3 days.
