help! parrots layed eggs!

Hmmm... That would definitely help me with some cory eggs/frys alot or maybe I could just get the brine shrimp hatchery, use up all the brine shrimp (as a treat) and then use the container in that way.

Thank you for that diagram, portabuddy
 
i use a similar contraption with my mouthbrooding cichlids. a female would never survive in my tank otherwise
 
Yea mine dont hatch either...

around 1% of male blood parrots are able to have offspring, but then all of his offspring are fertile, so the parcentile will increase until it hits 100% (exempting the fish that are infertile from medical problems etc.)

well that dosn't make much sense to me... if 99% of all BP's are incapible of reprodiction than dosent that mean that 1% of its offspring will be able to reproduse???, due to whatever the genetic deformalitied it has it passes on?, how is it that there are so many that can't, they didnt come up with them yesterday..., again this goes back to my first(offensive) comment where natural selection should play a role in the breeding, I think that its more likley that the persentage would go up exponentualy, like 1%,2%,4%,16%ect... but than agaun i never liked those particular fish, or modified goldfish that cant swim or eat properly. it's like the work of the genetic scientist in southpark(4 assed monkey...)
 
1 out of every 100 males is fertile.
if the male is fertile, it passes that "freak" gene (in this case, fertility is a freaktrait) down to its offspring, and since almost all females are able to reproduce with other amle cichlids, most of their offspring will inherit the "freak" gene.
 
Ah...I see. So at one point in time 1 in 10000 was fertile then... and in 10 years 1 in 10 and in 20-30 all bp will be able to reproduce then...

yup. it might not be in 10 years though. it will probably be in a shorter time period at the rate people are buying them
