Apisto ranch said:Thank you I've been waitting for a repile on this for awhile. I got another question for you. Now I've looked on google and done asearch on all the searchs I coud find nothing about removing the male or if and this is my other question. What's the odds of the eggs mkingit if I pull them and put the ggs in fry holder that ets on the side of the tank?
Or would that allow the eggs to get fuzzing or go bad? I'm looking for all the ips i can get o make sure I get as many of the eggs o hatch and that the parents won't eat them. Any pointer will be used \.
aspen said:a. cacatuoides are good parents generally, it is not usually necessary to remove males. having tanks that are too small or with too much pressure from other species detracts from this trait, keeping fish in larger tanks with lots of places for multiple females to hide fry adds to this trait ime. as with anything else, ymmv with different individuals.
the nicest cac tank i've seen had a single huge male with 7 females, all keeping fry, all offspring from this male, jam packed into a a heavily planted 25 gal, with nests in every nook and cranny.
