Hi all
Forgive me if this has already been asked, but has anyone got any experience of keeping the two together? I have a pair of cacatuoides in a 55g and am wondering whether this would work? The tank is fairly heavily planted and lots of driftwood in there too. So sight lines would be ok. And...
Hi all
I've made a start on a rescape. The idea is to build height in the centre of the tank. Unfortunately I didn't buy near enough plants and the wood on offer wasn't particularly big when I went. I've done what I could for now. Still looking to build on the plants in the centre around the...
Hi Phile and thanks for the response. I'll have a look into this. There are plenty of oaks and chestnut trees in my local area and I'm pretty certain they're unlikely to have any agricultural runoff, but I'll ask around first.

I'd love to add another male to the tank too, especially if I can get one with similar...
Hi Shane, thanks for the response.
Tank size 55g. No loose leaves. Here's a picture of it I took a while back. The elodea densa has grown a lot since then and hangs forward breaking sight lines fairly well, I suppose it could be better. And the java ferns that are dotted about near the coconut...
Hi all, I'm just after people's opinions and experiences on this. After reading these fish do well in harems I decided to add a few more females to my set up.
What sort of behaviour is the norm for this kind of set up? I ask because it appears my females are starting to set up a bit of a...
