Well.....its confirmed they are a pair!!! After waiting months, and I was 99% sure they were boy/gal, heres a vid for proof....although this spawn wasnt saved, (too many culprits after the eggs..and not just the parrots) I have scrambled to get them in a 20 gal to spawn again....they are a bit mad at me for moving them but time will tell...the vid is a bit animated as me and my daughter were in shock LOL sorry about that ..just turn the sound off

shes one fertile chick!!! she spawned 2 different times in the 75 gal and both times were trashed by the parrots and dempseys ...and here she is in the 20 gal again spawning 20 mins later !!




they both are kinda wondering what the heck is going on with all these eggs tho like they are blaming eachother for all the mess LOL

Congrats on the spawn Shawnie!!! They are both so gorgeous and remind me so much of my old breeded pair. I'm glad they finally got down to business! Hopefully you will have some pretty babies after they get the hang of it!

Shawnie

MissMTS

Amazing! I'm so glad you shared that. Maybe the Dad has a bit more maturing to do? He seemed to be lost. He sure is a good protector though

Shawnie

seemed he got a butt lashing today while i was at work..as he fertilized all the eggs in the 20 gal and is fanning his soul away at the eggs LOL gotta love a good woman who puts him in line

MissMTS

Glad to hear he's catching on!

aquarist48

LOL that's some great news! Maybe he was just too concerned about protecting the female when you had them in the community tank to worry about doing his part. I hope you have lots of fry!

Shawnie

well...looks like a ton of white ones this morning..he was faking hahahah
