peter,

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

The gold or "Yellow/Gold" form of cacatuoides is a highly inbreed strain. The results of ones breeding effort with this species-form depends on what "stage" of line breeding it is in. There is no particular difficulty in its breeding, because it is a cacatuoides. But as to whether you will have fry that all look the same is a different matter. Here is a picture of this impressive fish. Scroll down the Editors forum to the second pic to see it.

Like all fish that are heavily inbred the process is problematic, at least my experience with them shows this to be true
