Aggis spawn in tap water?
Yep, seems no one told my Rio Metas that they were not suppose to spawn in a tap water only aquarium. (20 tall, with 15 baby cacs , one guppy, 6 neons, a bumble bee gobie, one julii cory, one Otto V. and the offending trio of Rio Meta II Aggies. The Aggies are young...

i think Discus Man was correct
I think Discus Man was correct about the parents eating the deformed ones if you let them raise the babies themselves. So far i have seen no deformitys doing it this way :!:
For those of you who habitually move the Mother and eggs or siphon out the fry or remove the father A. Cacatuoides. You dont have too. Sure one or both will eat the fry the first few times. Mine did the same thing. I got lazy and just left them alone and eventually now both parents guard the...
