Hi Partha;

Parrot fish are cichlids and cichlids are very good parents so let them care for the babies, also called "fry", as long as you can. It's easier to care for the fry when they are bigger. However, the problem with breeding parrot fish is that they are a hybrid fish that have a high rate of infertility. There have been many cases of them being able to produce fry, but it's possible they can't. Here is a web page that explains the whole spawning process and how to encourage them to spawn;

Good luck...
