    Okay, the vendor communicated back and they are still judging them. They feel three fish have yellow in the body, like the one above, and are females. The owner will now take a look and make a final decision. He actually flew to Asia to meet with the breeder in person and see the operation...

    I think this was my other female hopeful. I will post the others later, time to get ready for work.

    Interesting, so the females can be that colorful! I had some others look at my "maybes", and some ruled them out as soon as they see the color. They are from Asia and they indicated, as you noted, that they come in male heavy. Sounds like you no longer breed them? Obviously, I would be...

    Thanks Mike. When I sent in the pics to the vendor I asked for their approximate age. I would say they are around 2" and a bit smaller then the other obvious males, but my other bachelors tank has two larger ones and the others would appear to be the next size down which would be in line with...

    Thanks for the input guys. This is the second time I have been in this situation. I think I now have 11 males. The first time was off of aquabid. I purchased what I was expecting was 2 males and 3 females. There was a picture of two of the fish. Having just started collecting apisto's (I...

    I ordered six cacatuoides that were supposed to be 3 pairs. I think I have five males and the sixth one resembles a female with the black on the ventrals, but I am not sure. What do you think?

    Some pics of my second successful spawn - Triple Red Cacatuoides parents with fry

    Yes, it does. Their brothers (2 original males) were so much larger it seemed plausable to a newbie. Contacted the seller and he just said "oh well".....Wished at least one would have been female. Put a WTB on the classified section a week or two ago and no hits. They talk about the caca...

    Some pics of my second successful spawn - Triple Red Cacatuoides parents with fry

    Well, I thought I had my clan ready to go with two nice males and three females. I have now been informed they are all males. See the pic of one of my "females" below.....crap. I was told the females have black on their ventral fins as well as a couple of other key areas.

    Problem breedind cacatuoides

    I am unprepared for fry. I have some frozen baby brine and some small fry flake. My killies survived without me knowing, but they benefited from the live plants. Will they eat baby brine or the fry flake? Again, I not optimistic she will be able to keep the others at bay and it is her...

    Problem breedind cacatuoides

    Well, apparently the best way to have them breed is to not try ;)........I have been in the process of setting up a breeding tank and had originally purchased five double cacs. I had a heavily planted tank that was to hold them until it was ready. Well, I happened upon some colorful triples...

    WTB - Cacatuoides

    Looking to find colorful cacs. especially triples, quads or super reds (sorry, I know some hate names, so please ignore the names, if so - just read "healthy cascs" :) ) I am watching aquabid.

    What combinations work best for you? Male/female ratio and number of pairs in the same tank.....

    At last - my Cacatuoides have spawned :)

    Any update on the fry?

    Problem breedind cacatuoides

    I have just started my journey into breeding cac's, so I am interested to hear how yours goes and any feedback from others. That does seem like a lot of fish for a 26 gallon tank if you are hoping to breed? From what I have read from other breeders, various scenarios work as far as...

    Big Texas Hello

    Yes, I have started with them as well. I had purchased some doubles, but then found some triples. I am hoping to have them breed, so we shall see how that goes. It does seem they aren't the easies to find. I am not sure if that is a good thing (if you have any to sell), or a bad thing in...
