New Cacs in at the lfs

[Borked]

I work for a mom and pop lfs and we have ordered and received some very nice cacs recently.

We received only 6 and 2 of them were full grown males. They are white-gold with all orange-flash type fins. The first 5 rays of the dorsel are blue and the ventril are blue/yellow. They seem very similar to the white-golds with the black marbleing throughout the orange in size, shape and color. Just without the black.

I picked up a trio of double red cacs about 2 weeks ago, and then I grabbed a subdominate but fully colored small male white-gold.

I'll post a picture when he finally graces me with a show.

Cheers,
-Kyle
P.S. the distributor we received them from is African Northwest.

Kyle,

Please do. I am veryinterested to see them. Both Mike and I are working on that now. He has one YG male that has the pure "Orange Flash" fins. It is quite difficult, because both the YG anf OF genes are recessive. So out of alot of fry, you get very few YG/OF. I am assuming that "White/Gold" is the same as "Yellow/Gold"(White) cacatuoides.

Here is a pic that mike Yamamoto sent me of the first male YG/OF that he has bred. There has been a few others since then, but not alot.
