Blood parrots are mighty confused

[Lady Hobbs]

I have 5 and thought up until today, only 1 was a female. Last week a "male" and the female remained together behind this stump. She spawned and "he's" been by her side while the others all got chased away.

Surprise, Surprise. Today I see that "he" is also a she and she has now dropped her breeding tube and also spawning. Of course both females right there together now.

Wonder if Dr Phil can straighten these girls out?

Oh thats funny!!!! I hear that can happen with cichlids!!!!

Heard of angels doing this but not when there were 3 big, handsome males to pick from. What I really think is female #2 has decided she likes #1's cave and number #1 is not about to give it up. #2 is going to spawn back there whether anyone likes it or not even if no males are allowed to enter.

There's a little sign over the door, I guess, that says Girls Only. Any other cichlids would be battling by now but not these kids. One of the things I like about them the most.
