Spawning is the nature of the fish. As long as the female fish's sexual function is mature, it will enter the reproductive period and lay eggs regularly. Ovulation is for reproduction, but because the male parrot fish has no fertilization ability, it can not fertilize the eggs. As a result, the eggs discharged by the female fish are dead eggs, which will not hatch into small fish. Therefore, the parrot fish is only natural, not because of mating reproduction.
Unfertilized eggs are transparent or white, no matter how long, they will not hatch into small fish. Over time, it will pollute the water quality and affect the health of fish. Therefore, the eggs laid by female fish should be fished out as soon as possible. But after spawning, even if the female fish can not hatch, they will carefully protect the eggs. Therefore, extra care should be taken when fishing out the eggs to prevent the female fish from attacking. It is best to remove the female fish first, dispose of the eggs, and then return the female to the tank. Sometimes females swallow unfertilized eggs, but this is rare and requires manual intervention to clean the eggs.
Another method is to breed some fish with cleaning ability in the fish tank, such as scavengers. They can clean up the useless eggs directly and keep the water clean, so they don't have to clean up the eggs artificially.
