Keeping Cacatuoides with Macmasteri

[dukk]

So I've always wanted Cacatuoides but I've never been able to get them but my local fish store recently got several of them. My problem is I've heard they don't really get along with Macmasteri's because of the similar color patterns and I already have 3 of those (I believe 1 female and 2 males, the males are already fighting pretty bad so I may get rid of one).

My tank is a 47 gallon bow front with a lot of plants and hiding places and could easily add a few more fish.

What do you guys think, should I get the Cacatuoides or not?

A 47 bow front is only 36" long, right? For me that's a bit small for 2 groups of apistos. It really depends on the lay-out of the tank however. If you're willing to take the chance of losing some fish, or moving them if it goes wrong, then try it.
