    Somewhat Albino Cacatuoide?

    I had about 100 triple red caca fry. For reasons in other posts I had to sell them. I did have 5 that were white except for black eyes (and yellow around the eye). I simply had to keep them. They are now about a quarter-inch long, and I can't detect any other color other than mentioned...

    Lessons Learned (and learning)

    Interesting if you read through my threads, you will see the pattern of newbie, learning phase, figuring out fry and food, figuring out health, and now figuring out what to do next. I just sold about 200 fish-nearly all I had (mostly fry, yet also a bunch of good, orange blaze and triple red...

    Small pimples on head of male ram, ideas?

    I noticed the ram has 2 or 3 small pimple-like bumps on his forehead. I had a couple male cacas about 2 months ago with the same problem, and it doesn't seem to get better. I did a search and found some comments at this site, and the best suggestion I have heard is crank the water...

    Good worms or bad worms, round 2

    I had asked a similar question a while back. I need some info on white worms that I am seeing on rare occasions in my aquarium. They are so thin you can barely see them; however they are about 1/2" and some are as long as 1". They swim when disturbed, with their head moving up and down and...

    Microworms and related cleaning problems.

    I wrote about a week ago that I thought I had a mold problem. I think otherwise now, as I think I have a microworm problem. I had been feeding microworms to some juvenile cacas in a clay pot base (kind of like the doggie dish). After a while the air was getting a little "musty" and I...

    Loss of ram fry (but we are getting closer)

    I have tried for 7 years to get rams to reproduce. I have read tons of articles, and thanks to people like you am a lot smarter than I once was. I finally had a wild ram female and a native male reproduce. I pulled the eggs and placed them in a 2.5 gallon with fresh water and they made it...

    Big Problem on the homefront.

    OK, I know there are a lot of true scientist-types in the hobby, and I need your input. Unfortunately I could never add 2 + 2 in a few words... I have in operation a 55 gallon, 3 10's, and 4 2.5 gallon aquariums in my basement, in a finished room (large room). Our bedroom is directly above...

    Caca egg fungus

    I have an orange blaze male and two females. The one female raised about 35 fry successfully, and the second raised about 15. (first round) Now for round two. I have one on each side of a 10 gallon, and allowed the male to go between them. Each laid about 30-40 eggs under a different clay...

    Good worms or bad worms?

    I have lots of tiny white worms about 1/16" long and about as thin as a human hair all over a 10 gallon (on the glass) where I have a mother caca and about 15 fry on one side, and another on the other side with about 50 eggs. The worms are definitely alive and doing well, but I don't know if...

    Good worms and bad worms?

    I have been told that it is a good idea to de-worm cacatoides with levamisole. Unfortunately I can't find a good source. Any ideas? Also I currently have two females and a male in a 10 gallon. One of the females has wiggler/fry in a clay pot cave. I noticed thin white worms on the...

    Need help with newborn cockatoo fry

    I have a male and two females in a 10 gallon. I have a female who set up camp in a cave made from two clay saucers with a 1/2 hole drilled. I just raised the top one, and there are about 30 tiny fry inside. The last time I raised the lid with this young female, there were eggs inside and...

    Cocatoo goes belly-up. Tank Med advice?

    I have had a trio from the LFS for about a month. Each female laid eggs, (then ate them). Bummer. The male was a beautiful yellow-gold, seemed OK last night and this morning, belly-up. The female was in the tank, and seems OK. I bought another male, moved the trio in a different 10 gallon...
