Hello everyone, I have an established breeding pair of cacatuoides in a 29 gallon tank and all was going well until recently. My female spawned about 12 days ago, she raised them up to free swimming before they disappeared after about 6 days later due to not getting enough nutrition. Ever since losing her fry this time she has begun acting strangely, she is not coming out as often and is doing this weird thing when she eats where she'll spit food out multiple times and eventually swim away. I haven't noticed any obvious physical signs of disease but I'm wonder if I should be concerned with internal parasites? The tank is kept at 78-76 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 ammonia and nitrites and about 10 ppm nitrates I do a 30% water change consisting of RoDi water every 4 days or so. If anyone could give me some advice or just let me know if I'm being paranoid I would appreciate it!
