So this morning I was moving my rock cave out of my 55 gal to do my gravel vac and water change this morning when I noticed what looked like salt on one of the rocks. Upon closer inspection it was eggs that my blood parrots had laid over night. I had noticed they had dug the gravel in the cave a little deeper yesterday but had no idea if I even had a male and a female let alone that they were getting ready to lay eggs. Obviously the chances are that they'll be infertile but I can always hope. They are both protecting the eggs well like good parents with the female rarely leaving the cave. I'll keep everyone updated...

Congrats! Don't be alarmed if the eggs disappear. Cichlids are known for moving their eggs.
