Parrotfish breeding

Question
Hi. I just bought myself a breeding pair of parrotfish and would like to know when it is breeding season. Hopefully you can tell me because I've searched everywhere. If possible, would you please give me a few tips as well. Thanks a bunch.

Answer
Hi Erica,
  There is no breeding season as such, they can breed anytime they feel like it.  

  As far as breeding tips, mostly the fish handle everything themselves. All you need to do is provide clean water by doing regular partial water changes of about 25% of the water once a week, every week.  Also, they need a hard surface on which to lay the eggs.  Most people take a large flowerpot, knock out the bottom and lie that on its side in the tank.  The fish will usually lay their eggs on the inside surface.
