How do the parrot fish in the fish tank lay eggs and reproduce

After parrot fish lay eggs, the breeder can fish them out and throw them away directly, or let other fish eat their eggs directly. Because parrot fish are not natural products, they are crossed by two different kinds of fish, and they cannot reproduce between the same kind. Artificial parrot fish, even if they can lay eggs, cannot hatch small fish. Therefore, if there are no fish in the fish tank to eat the eggs, they need to be fished out immediately to avoid polluting the water quality.

1. What should I do if the parrot fish in the fish tank lays eggs

After laying eggs, the parrot fish in the fish tank can choose to fish out directly and throw them away, or you can choose to feed the eggs to other fish. Because parrot fish is a kind of fish crossed by red devil fish and purple red fire mouth fish, although they can grow normally, their chromosomes cannot be completely paired, so it is impossible to produce small fish among the same kind.

A captive parrot fish will not hatch small fish even if it can lay eggs. Therefore, the breeder can throw away the fish eggs directly or feed them to other fish as food.

2. How do parrots reproduce

As mentioned above, parrots are hybrid fish, and they cannot produce offspring among the same kind. If breeders want parrot fish to breed, they must choose other fish to mate with them. In general, they will choose their paternal and maternal lines, that is, red devil fish and purple red fire mouth fish. The parrot fish cross with the purple red-mouthed fish to produce macaw fish, which is large and will start in adulthood. Now there are also hybrids with Siraitia grosvenorii, and the bred species are called unicorn parrot fish.

Because there are many uncertainties in parrot fish hybridization, they also produce many fish with different shapes. When breeders let them breed, they can choose different fish to try, and different species may appear.
