how do fish have sex and how many eggs to expect out of blood parrot cichlids?
i have two blood parrot cichlids..that have laid eggs before but ate them how do i know if and when they mate so i can put a divider between the eggs and other fish? thank you
It depends on the fish. Most fish are egg layers, where the female lays the eggs and the male fertilizes them externally. Fish like mollies, guppies and platys are live bearers, where the male internally fertilizes the eggs and the female gives live birth. Fish like chilids are mouth brooders, where they keep the eggs in their mouths until they hatch, and protect their young by using their mouths. Gouramis make bubble nests, laying their eggs in a nest of bubbles at the surface of the water. There are many ways fish mate, it just depends on the fish.
As for your other questions, they usually lay clutches of 4-8, it depends on the bird too.

Females, it has become clear, are remarkably promiscuous and have evolved an astonishing array of strate… |
