LA
Potential pair of parrots smooching it up.
LA
Probable male (not from the pair) -- pointed breeding tube.
LA
More smooching ...
LA
... and some wrestling thrown in.
LA
Biting the hand that feeds her (and wipes the algae).
LA
Most parrots can't bite because of their mouth structure. This one
can, but not like an oscar.
LA
Gang of five 5 inchers gazing longingly at their owner (really the food
bucket). Nice colors.
LA
Parrots really respond to the presence of their owners.
LA
When conditions are less than adequate, parrots try to get in the corner and
make themselves small.
LA
Some parrots (and red devils) possess these strange pupils.
LA
Different pair than the first pair bond shown earlier.
LA
Male smaller and redder than the female.
LA
Hangs with the female a great deal.
LA
And vice versa.
LA
She's cleaning the gravel off a piece of slate in the bottom of her 55
gallon tank.
LA
Hmm, could be a male after all.
LA
Smacking a flowerhorn X jaguar cross (not street legal in the ACA).
LA
Smacking her partner also.
LA
Different tank. Different 4-inch male. Note the pointed breeding
tube.
LA
Blunt breeding tube on the female.
LA
One-third of a nightcrawler goes into the conditioning process.
LA
Male appears ready to rock and roll regardless of diet.
LA
We probably need to mention the "sweetheart red parrots" -- no tail.
LA
Sweethearts are sans tail to give them a heart shape. Here, he's eating
koi color sticks.
LA
Here, he's insisting a royal pleco stay away from his potential spawning
location.
LA
Here's the female at their potential spawning site.
LA
The royal, of course, accepts no territorial restrictions. If the parrots
spawn, he's out.
LA
Ah, safe and secure again.
LA
Still keeping a watchful eye on the pleco (which would consume all the eggs the
first night).
LA
Also keeping an eye on the voyeurs watching the pair.
LA
In spite of their spawning efforts, their eggs will likely be infertile.
LA
The end.
LA
Alright, one last pic.
