From what I know is that blood parrots are hybrid and the eggs may not hatched even if they have been fertilised or the eggs can't even fertilised...

I have heard of several cases of Parrots breeding and producing healthy viable young. You should allow the blood parrots to raise the eggs themselves. You should know by a dozen spawns whether the fish are fertile! Good luck! Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

I think but not to sure so I will check for you that if the eggs are darkish in colour they are fertile and if they are pure white the are unfertile. I am not a hundred percent on this but I will check it out for you unless someone else lets you know before I do. Good luck I hope you get some success it is very rare to get bloods to produce young. http://www.greenspersonalprinting.com/

I hope you have some nice healthy beige looking ones. http://www.greenspersonalprinting.com/
