I've never seen a female so young that has a squared-off caudal and the slightly longer anterior dorsal spines. My guess is that it is a young male.

thanks again, i may have been wrong about its age, it could be up to 3months old.

ps I think you should write a book with all your answers. your the only source of info, i cant find anything anywhere that goes beyond the basics of cacatuoides breeding. I would donate but I need a p-time job first, ha ha

Females typically don't develop more masculine characteristics until well over 1 year of age. As for a book? I've heard it before. No thanks! My friends, who have written books, have scared me with too many horror stories.

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
