    Cleaning White Worms Before Feeding

    I used to feed white worms to my fish, which they loved, but ended up with a copepod infestation in my six foot tank, which in the end i managed to get rid of by stripping the tank down, throwing out any decor & filter material, and then drying out the tank and two cannister filters for a few...

    I bought a pair of Triple Red A. Cacatuoide by mail order a couple of days ago. The male died within a day, wasn't surprised as he never looked in good health, though the female is fine. I do not think the female i was sent is a Cacatuoide female, she is young but looks more longer than a...

    Cacatuoide Eggs.

    My female Cacatuoide was acting liking she had eggs, so i lifted the pot to check. There is a bunch of red eggs on the side of the pot, but there was also what i guess are unfertilized eggs. They were the same size as the eggs, white and all fuzzy (like a bit of old food) lying at the bottom...
