    How to icrease survival rate?

    I did it :biggrin: I got about 50 babies out of the breeding tank. They were 1 and half month old. The mother was with them all the time. I only fed BBS. I transfered them to the community tank and I put daddy back to mom. It has been a month now since I moved the small ones. I can count about...

    Put young cacatoudes and aggies together?

    The cacatoudes are all gone, so there is no need to move them with the aggies. I can't say I'm disappointed. Just 2 days ago I saw at least 2 of my previous spawn hiding in the bushes :biggrin: They are 2 months old now. Maybe some of the babies made it also. Anyway I would like to increase...

    Put young cacatoudes and aggies together?

    I would gladly read anything I can get my hands on, but I have to say I have no idea what you are talking about. Gooogle didn't help much. How does that work in practice? Should I put the babies in a small transparent container, so that the female can see them, but not harm them, untill she...

    Put young cacatoudes and aggies together?

    Hello. Let me explain my situation first. I have a 120l community tank with apistos. I use a 30l breeding tank. Currently I have a pair of cacatuoides defending a bunch of babies in the community tank. They've been doing this for 10 days now, against a bunch of neon tetras and cory cats. Quite...

    An experimental cichlid tank .... your thoughts please !

    Hello, Zincubus. :) I think this is a very interesting experiment you have on going. I would love to see some pictures to get idea of the setup. Even a video. Of course we all know things will change once the youngsters reach puberty. Maybe you should change the title to.."Please, don't try...

    how many apistos can I have in 20gl tank

    I wouldn't put more than a trio in such an aquarium. Unless it is as thick as s jungle. But then you won't be able to see your fish, are you. Watching my fish is why I keep them after all :rolleyes:

    How to icrease survival rate?

    Hm. I always thought BBS spoil the water faster than microworms, since they cant live in freshwater. I'll see what I can do with the next batch. This dry food I mention is for the parents. But I noticed the babiеs take the leftovers. I think it is good for them to get used to it. Those...

    How to icrease survival rate?

    Hello, everybody. I'm breeding cacatouides and agassizii, but I have serious problem keeping the population. Only 10% of the youngsters make it through the first month. I use a 10g breeding tank with moss and oak leaves. 30% daily water change. Feeding microworms and dry food. I loose half the...

    Agassizzi eating riccia.

    Hello everybody. This is my first post, and I will start with a question. I have 2 agassizzi pairs and some Cacatuoides in an 80sm freshly set up aquarium. I tied some riccia to a stone using a net and now all the aggies are taking turns in picking small pieces out of the net and eating them...
