Apisto Cacatuoides Paired up with krib :S

[chriscarnivorous]

Yesterday we bought a beautiful young female Krib, So beautiful the Handsom Cockatoo has blown out a neglected cockatoo female in favour of something a little bit more colourful

heres a video;



I read that apistos cant cross breed before, Its not that the male wont but because the female will only breed with its own kind where as the male doesnt know the differance between female apistos (hobbyist don't either lol) as they all look very similar.

When it comes to kribs going from the breeding pair we had it was the female that was doing the flirting and following the male shimmying, the female is following the cockatoo and is very interested in him.

Anyway with this combo of to very finely bred specimens looks like they could be strangely in love,

i dont think it would be possable for them to produce fry tho..??

 

[Joe Gatchell]

That's pretty interesting. He definitely seemed like he was guarding her.

 

[Mike Wise]

Nope, never happen.

 

[samuel]

they might attempt to spawn, but no fry will be produced since they arent related enough to

 

[Melanochromis]

The behavior is interesting indeed.

 

[Microman]

Nothing will happen...

 

[chriscarnivorous]

Get some waterproof markers, draw a row of black spots along the top of his tail, and red on his cheeks and belly. Then see if she responds to him any better. |;>)
