Hello ~
I recently purchased pair of cacatuoides 'orange flash' and they are already raising their second family! (Yes!!). I noticed the male swimming along and suddenly he stopped, leaned over and 'spit' out about a dozen or so of the fry! (I wish I could've caught this on video to show you~ maybe next time!). I'm still pretty new when it comes to Apistos and was wondering if it was normal for the males to be such 'good' at parenting as the female is? They really are fascinating to watch! Also, I also have a pair of red Agassisii I bought 1 month before the orange pair and they haven't had a brood yet. I had them in the same 50 gal. as the orange pair but decided to move them to a 10 gal. of their own but they still haven't had any. The water is alright and everything (RO). Maybe they're not compatible??
Thank-you!
