Blood Parrot Fish Breeding with Texas Cichlid

- Aquarium blood parrot fish breeding project of mine. I’ve been trying to breed them with Texas cichlids for a while. This is my favorite fish food right now.
Breeding fish for profit. Im failing to breed my blood parrot cichlid and Texas cichlid. Our community has been thriving for months and in the last 48 hours we've lost about 15 fish! Including my favourite pleco who we watched grow (the biggest fish in our tank so I don't think they're being eaten + they're all peaceful tetras). Our water test is optimal and we did a water change after losing the first few but that made no difference.
What could be happening? I'm so upset! They're going from fine and happy to dead within an hour.. there doesn't seem to be any deteration over time.
Post pics of setup and water test results. Size of tank? How many fish and what kind? Temperature? Any chemicals used in the last 24-48 hrs? It's a 80g (300l) with about 30 (now only about 18) tetras, cardinals, neons and rummynose a bristlenose (now no longer) and 3 (now 2) Cory doras It's a little bit warm at 28c but they've been doing great in that for ages! And we added chemicals for the water change but they started going before that.

Nitrates 5ppm
It's an aqua one nautilus filter will have to double check the media when I get home from work. And havnt noticed any appearance differences of the fish. Today I rescued the dying Golden Pothos from the feeder tank and placed it in the 20 gallon to see if it will survive as an emergent growth (the feeders did a number on it, chewed it within an inch of its life, so I am hoping the left over branches will survive).
Very few fish currently; will restock once we've moved. I figure the move will be hard enough on the tanks we have, land and water worlds both without adding new citizens so close to a move. The Pothos vines are on either corner, supported with pipe cleaner.What can I do to maximize the safety and survivability of the Pothos? (Also, I may be adding garlic cloves).
Urgent help my arowanas tank broke and i had to get him to water so i picked him and put him with the redtail the temperature was different and i think he is in shock and he is moving slow and not moving when i tried to touch him what can i do to make him survive this plz help me.
UPDATE
First off I want to thank each and every one of you for all the advice second I want to thank everyone for not leaving any negative comments even though I deserve them. This is day 4 did another test. Results ammonia .50 nitrite 0 nitrate 5.0 I got a filter from a cycled tank and put it in mine fish are acting great.
UNCYCLED TANK
Ok I know I am going to catch a lot of crap for not doing my research. Just set up a new 55 gallon tank 3 days ago and added fish same day then I learned that you should let your tank cycle before adding fish. I picked up an api master test kit today results ph 7.6 ammonia .50 nitrite and nitrate 0 what should I do.
Your fish sanctuary is incredible!!! I came across your video because I discovered today that my blood parrot and Texas are breeding in my community tank. I’m so excited! I’ve noticed the two always pairing off but I never expected them to breed. This is my first time seeing my cichlids laying. I really hope I can grow the fry to full maturity!
Quiero uno de esos
“If you’re trying to make some money in the fish aquarium niche, then breeding fish is the easiest way to do it” said no one ever beside you.
Amazing collection. Thumbs up
I had 2 blood parrots but 1 died. I also had a breeding pair of fire mouths but unfortunately lost the male. I have just discovered that my female fire mouth & bloodparrot are now breeding. Hopefully I get babies from them successfully. Will be very interesting to see how they turn out
Im just beginning to breed the rt :) i already once had a texas breeding with a jaguar result was really stunning 😎
Fantastic fish.
You should try a variety of food. I feed my cichlids a variety of food and they breed like crazy. Love your fish.
I only feed a variety 🤠
I've heard that SRT males are not fertile. Chances if he spawns with your female the eggs won't be fertile
Not true. Some may be infertile but many are fine. However, male blood parrots are more often sterile but again not always.
My blood parrot just started breeding, and now I don’t know what to do with them. I have some more fishes in the same tank. So, what shall I do now? The parents are still guarding the eggs.
Been trying the same thing with no luck. Took them out of the 40 breeder and put in 90 gallon. Hopefully helps
Red texas and parrot cichlid males are more than likely infertile
what fish do you get from this breed
My blood parrot and convict formed a pair and layed eggs. I hope for polarr parrots😊 the convict is male and parrot is female
Why those 2 particular fish? is that common for those two fish to breed? and if so what do The Offspring look like? or is this a whole new thing you're trying to do that has never been done?
The red blood parrot x texas is a very common cross. Normally use normal green texas instead or red though.
Nice 🖒
My 12 inch Texas cichlid is breeding right now with my 7 inch parrot cichlid, Who knows what will happen, I doubt it will be successful.
Is the female too big. ?
I was able to breed from parrot and gold severum. try it.
What kind of fish are those really light ones with the orange belly?
Pink convicts
I have two parrot 6 inches lay eggs a lot , but I don’t have the male one and I don’t know what fish kind of fish should I pick to breed with them .
Green texas becuase male red texas and parrot cichlid are infertile most of the time. You could also try Cubans.
Convicts u will get jellybeans
Bro I want to ask that female blood parrot and male green Texas can breed ? Plzz reply
I had heard blood Parrots are a genetically manufactured fish and nearly always sterile.
How big is the tank?
75g
My blood parrot just breeded with my Texas today ! ...
Really? Male Texas and female parrot can breed ?
@@abhishekjambhulkar yes
Same thing just happen to me just down my female blood parrot and blue or green Texas male. Is fertilizeing the eggs right now
U need more parrots and Texas let the pair up them selfs
Remove the female for acouple weeks then add her back in that's how I got some F4 SRT to lay feed blood worms so parents see there's food for babies remove half water for 2 days and then fill
Blood parrot and a geophagus anyone ?
Hippo and Giraffe ?
you have way less chance of them mating with all the other fish in the tank, and both those guys look a bit young.
I would like to know where you get your driftwood from..?
Your parrot is a male. Its not going to breed as it's not fertile. Also the red Texas looks like a low quality flowerhorn. Red Texas don't have flowers.
P.s. that low quality fh is a female.
