Parrot fish can reproduce, but not between parrot fish of the same species. The parrot fish is a cross between the red devil fish and the purple fire mouth fish. Male parrot fish are not fertile because their chromosomes are not designed to pair neatly. Therefore, even if the female fish lays eggs, the male fish can not fertilize them, resulting in the eggs can not hatch into small fish. If you want parrot fish to breed, you can choose other species of male fish to cross with female parrot fish.

Can parrot fish reproduce

? Female parrot fish can reproduce, but male parrot fish cannot reproduce. Because they are hybrids of different species, the chromosomes are not naturally paired, and even if the female lays eggs, the male can not fertilize them. Unfertilized fish eggs, on the other hand, cannot hatch into small fish. But female parrot fish can choose to breed with other species of male fish, such as red devil fish, which can breed macaw fish, and Luohan fish, which can breed unicorn parrot fish. Hybridization, fertilization and hatching of parrot fish are difficult, and there are many uncertainties, so the reproductive success rate is relatively low.

2. How to breed

parrot fish? First of all, we should choose other kinds of male fish, such as red devil fish, purple fire mouth fish, Luohan fish, longevity fish and so on. After waiting for the female and male to come into estrus, the male will discharge sperm in the tank, and the female will lay eggs in the center of the sperm. After spawning, the female and male fish need to be fished out as soon as possible, and then wait for 2-3 days to fish out the unfertilized eggs. During the incubation period, keep the water temperature at 28 degrees, change the water every day, and hatch small fish in about 5-7 days. This method of reproduction is relatively common, but the fertilization rate is very low, and the hatching rate is also very low, and few small fish can survive.
