When mating between parrot fish of the same species, the eggs laid by the female fish cannot hatch small fish. Because they are all mutants produced by the hybridization of red manta rays and purple mouth fish. The male parrot fish produced by hybridization has no reproductive ability. This means that the male fish cannot fertilize the eggs and the embryos cannot develop, so they cannot reproduce.
However, spawning is the nature of fish, so the female fish can still lay eggs. If a female parrot fish mates with a male fish with reproductive ability, such as a Lohan fish or a red devil fish, it can fertilize the eggs. After fertilization, the eggs can hatch into small fish after the embryo matures.
Parrot fish seed can hatch the premise of small fish is that the eggs have been fertilized. Fish eggs are transparent when they are first laid. After 24 hours, if the eggs begin to turn white, it means that it has not been fertilized. These unfertilized fish eggs can not hatch small fish, need to be fished out as soon as possible so as not to affect water quality. If the eggs turn black slowly, it means that they have completed fertilization. These eggs are hatched in an environment with a temperature of 28 to 29 degrees Celsius, and the birth of small fish can be seen in about 2 to 3 days. If the temperature rises, their incubation time will be shortened, and the fastest fish can be born in less than two days.
