i have a blood parrot "Peachy" and a firemouth cichlid "Red". i don't know Peachy's age, but Red is at least 2 years old. they apparently hooked up and began building a cave, removing one rock at a time.. this took several days and then the day before yesterday Peachy began laying eggs. so i guess Peachy is a she. And then Red would go into the cave and shake around? Can anyone give me a clue about this seemingly "interacial" affair?

well...i dont think your fish be having any babys but if they arent hurting each other i think it would be ok to let them do there thing
Ah, love truly is colour blind 
I agree with fishdude, I don't think they can sucessfully crossbreed, but there's no harm in letting them try. If we're wrong, you might end up with some wieeerd little fry!

blood parrots are Man-Made and infertlie. They could cross breed if both fish were fertile. They might lay eggs but I doubt they will hatch.
yep, i think you are all correct, they have eaten most of the eggs and life seems to be getting back to normal in the tank. thanks for your responses.
