cacatuoides id

[Radek]

Hi everyone!

These fishes are caught in Peru or Columbia.
I bought them as a pair of A. cacatuoides.
Now I know I have two males.
Are they two different color morph cacatu?

Fish 1


Fish 2

A. cacatuoides has many different color morphs in the wild. There will be some variation between specimens in a population, but usually not as extreme as seen in populations of A. agassizii. It is hard to say if your 2 males came from the same location.

Thx for reply, Mike!
Today I find this photo:

The fish has named "Wild-Blue, from Rio Nanay"
She's looks like my males.
Is this the same variety?

Wow!! Those two look stunning!! I particularly like the second pic!!

I have just ordered a wild pair of Caca's, and hope that they look as nice as those!!

Enjoy!!

It is possible, but without the knowncollection location, one should not put a place name of a fish. The best you can do with your fish is to describe them by color: Yellow (top) and blue (bottom).

Sorry for my English, Mike!
Last picture (and name) I found on the website!

Does anyone know where I can find more pictures of wild cacatuoides?

Wow!! Those two look stunning!! I particularly like the second pic!!

Look at this picture:

It is a male of my colleague from Poland.

Your Collegue is a very lucky person!! Still prefer the other, but they are all stunning!!

Although not a wild, I had a Beauty of a Sunburst Orange but i recently lost him to Camellanus worms!! Eventually lost the female and 3 fry too!! Truly Gutted!! Finally got them under control now though hopefully??

I really hope my wilds are the blue variety when they arrive! They are a fresh break from all the Reds and Oranges around!!

@Mike... Thanx a million for all your shared knowledge on this site, although I'm fairly new to Apisto's, I've already learnt so much from you and others here!!

Regards
G!
