Look for 2 dark eyes, or maybe a magnifying galss would be better...

Good question!
Maybe just pick one girls' name and one boys' name and call them Eric 1, 2, 3 etc and Delilah 1,2,3, and so on.

Think I will ask every catsey member to name two of them each!
Does this mean Aunty Hil may give one a loving home...???

Eek - that wasn't the reply I was expecting!
No space for tanks here but it might be nice to set one up for my mum & dad. Are they easy? Do they live in cold water? They are certainly attractive

How can you tell a male from a female when they are tiny?

They are certainly attractiveThey are parrot fish, chichlids, which mean they have teeth! they need a heated tank,and filtration, apart from that are very easy to look after....I have just lost one I had for 9 years...These babies will be white though...

You can't Mags, have to wait till they grow a bit.....

Wow - they look like butter beans at the moment :lol: Still, I'm sure we could get Karen on the case and she'd come up with the best names ever . . .

I've not really had any chance to observe fish at close quarters (other than on my plate ;) ), so I'm quite looking forward to seeing these little blobs develop :D

Just done a google and I think I'll give the fishes a miss. Weekly partial water change, among the crumblies, sounds a bit too much of a bind :?

Oh Donna - you'd have to watch for all their little character traits and have (in no particular order - I promise! :roll: ) the bossy one, the sweet one, the crazy one, the dippy one, the fierce one, the know-all one, the quiet, thoughtful one, the rebel, etc etc
(runs away, before Catsey members start saying 'oh yeah? Which am I then?)

Fran

Once they grow, it will be easy to look at them and see which one suits each of you...

Even with my new glasses, couldn't spot them at all. How do you know these will be white? Are the parents white? What other colors do they come in besides the yellow on the big breeding pair you showed us? This is going to be interesting to watch them grow!

There are different varieties of Parrot Fish DM, the big ones I have are called blood red parrots, the parents of the babies are white and smaller, so the babies will be white....
