A cichlid can not produce young by itself. The moving of rocks and substrata is common behaviour amongst cichlids and does not neccessarilly indicate that spawning is imminent. Cichlids preparing to spawn will move things around until they are satisfied with the result. There is no time limit on this behaviour.

What group is parrotfish in?

The Parrot Fish Cichlid is a man made monstrosity that was produced by fertilizing the ova of one Amazonian species of cichlid with the sperm of another species of Amazonian cichlid in a laboratory in Asia ( China I believe). They are banned in many countries and have not been given a proper latin classification because they are not evolved and from nature. I personally would never own one, even if they were not banned in Australia.
