Parrot fish are able to change genders, colors and patterns. So while the sex of a parrot fish might be hard to determine, it is usually easier to tell if your parrot fish is pregnant. Some simple observation of visible cues will help you decide.
Step 1
Observe your parrot fish. Pay attention to where in the tank she spends most of her time. If a parrot fish is expecting, she typically will stay in one area the majority of the time.
