Agasizis died, cockatoos are doing great

Are the Agassizi's just more fragile?

They seemed to hide all the time and after a while were just scared and running away from everything in the tank. Then they started to bump into things and looked dazed and confused...

It didn't seem like any fish in particular were picking on them...

I'm thinking I'll just get more Cockatoos. Are two males to many for a 40 gallon?

My guess is the aggies were not very healthy from the start. This is one reason that all fish should be quarantined prior to being added to a community or breeding tank. Two male cacatuoides should be able to live together in a 40 breeder (40 x 18") tank, depending on how the aquarium is set up.

yes agassizi are more fragile. cacatuoides are the easiest apisto.

I don't think so , I know my Agassizi's did not like my cocktoos. I learn a lesson never mix them together, lost some good males to a lone male agasizi
