So about a month and a half ago I bought a male and female double red cacatuoides. The female died 3 days later all the other fish were fine. I had to ship 2 females and got them 2 weeks ago. I have my first fry hatched today. I will post pics when I can. The cave is well covered. Crossing my fingers. I cant wait to see them all I see now are wiggles.

Welcome to the sight Apistomom, if they make it give them about a week or less and you'll have swimmers. Now is the time to get there food ready.

It is with great sadness we do not have any surviving babies. I also just had to put one of the females in protective custody. Apisto drama...

So sorry to hear that! The good news is that they'll likely try again in a few weeks.

Definitely watch your females. They take time to recover and prepare to breed again and the male may pester them to do so before they are ready.

What's going on with the one female?

Today I woke up to the new mom showing her babies the aquarium. It looks like we have 5. Fingers crossed they all do well. These fish are being awesome parents.

I dont know what happen to her. I separated her and she passed shortly after. Maybe since the other to started spawning they picked on her to the point of stressing her out.
