Hello,
These were labeled as “lemon cockatoo “ at the lfs. Assuming it’s some variety of cacatuoides. Can someone please confirm?

I tried to get a pair, these 2 instantly started swimming together.. theyhardly ever leave each others side. No aggression whatsoever. There is a third one, just to ensure I got a pair.

Thanks
Dan

Yes, a leucistic colour variety of A. cacatuoides. Please forget any notion about pair forming, no matter what variety or species, there is only a handful species of Apistogramma that are at leatmst temporarily monogamous. All others, including yours, are polygamous with only the female caring for the young.

Thanks for the reply, understood on the pairing. Will just say the big one shows a very big interest in the 2 smaller ones and vice versa.
