The main signs that miniature parrot fish are about to breed are as follows. First, the male develops a raised head and stronger territorial instincts, usually driving nearby fish away from the area. Second, the male and female stay inseparable and start cleaning the territory they have claimed.
When the female is about to breed, her vent area shows a slight bulge. This indicates that she is ready to lay eggs.
