Answer
Hi Lucy,
It is very hard to breed Blood Parrots because they are a cross between two fish.  The males are usually infertile, but people at the farms that actually breed them to sell, inject them with hormones to make the males more fertile.  Both of the parents usually guard the eggs until it hatches and any eggs that are not fertilized or is growing fungus, will be eaten.  Breeding in a home aquarium is very very rare.
