Hello,
So, my Cacatuoides male died the past week and this saturday i bought a new one. To my surprise, today i saw the female with free swimming fry coming out of her cave.
Also to my surprise it appears that the new male is helping her protect the area from the ottocinctus and the amber tetras that are also in the tank.
Is this a common behavior? Does the male thinks that they are his fry?
