    Cross breeding of Cacatuoides?

    Hi all, I feel like the answer may be yes, but thought I’d ask those with more knowledge and experience. Will cacatuoides of different colour variations cross breed? ie a double red with a super orange? Thanks in advance

    Cacatuoides Color ID and Age

    Curious about my little cacatuoides guy's color and age is. I understand he may be too young to really know what color he's going to be, but just curious, and also curious when I might be able to ID if not now. Hard to tell in the pictures, but his anal fin does have a yellow/orange tint to it...

    Opinion about restocking apistos

    I lost the 1 female Macmasteri and 1 the male Agassizii the 40G breeder tank I think might be the Panda Garra that stressed them because he is chasing everyone (he was living on the tank already) so I'm taking him out this weekend. But I have no idea what happened with the male Cacatuoides on...

    TLDR: I would like to know the sex of these three for sure and what this tail flick/ biting behavior is. Is it territorial fighting or mating behavior?
