Something Fishy..

A month ago I bought 2 little parrot fish, one the size of a 50p the other smaller....Today when I was about to clean them out discovered 100's of baby fish! what they are and where they have come from is a mystery! I have a breeding pair of parrots which are 4-5inches big, they lay eggs and nothing ever comes of them....These two new ones are babys, so where have all these baby fish come from??

Well Moli, when a mummy parrot fish and a daddy parrot fish love each other very very, much .........

Thank you ladies you have been a real help!

The two baby parrots are in a tank of their own, so cannot blame the breeding pair for these...

Was I right?

Seriously, could there have been teeny tiny microscopic eggs in the water you brought the babies home in? They've grown and hatched (maybe in the gravel so you didn't see them)

Don't know if you know Mags, but fish cannot live outside water, so don't think your gooseberry bush is the answer either!

I was thinking the same Moli?

If there were eggs in the water DM, they would have hatched after a week, I have had these fish just over a month....These babys are ll in a huge pot, and every time one gets out, the parrot catches it and puts it back, they are acting like they are their babies....But really cannot see how they can be, they are far too young!
