Cacatu Id

Could not get a clear picture without her blocking the camera. However, none look fuzzy. Here is the male telling me to back off.

Just for the record (in case others didn't know either), the white eggs were all fertile just as Mike indicated.

Okay, so it appears I have two females as I now have fry on both ends of the tank. I think I have 4 males and two females. The two other males are caught in the cross fire and hiding in the middle of the tank. Thank goodness I have a lot of plants and driftwood.

My question, I have three other males in my main display tank. It already has three cacatu males in it, but no females. Can I put these two in there, or will it be world war III? It is a 75G.

It should be possible IF you rearrange the tank decor to remove all old territorial boundaries and provide enough territories for all 5 males. Otherwise, get rid of your excess fish.

The wisest of the Wise answers in probably the most obvious one, get rid of them. I will check and see if the LFS was able to sell the single males I gave them. The other fish stores do not take in fish for sell or credit. Real bummer......

It's good that I was wrong and you have females. Pretty hard with 5 males...
