    Re: doing the happy dance

    I found 2 babies in my main tank but can't get them.

    I'm shock at how big my fry are, I don't remember them being so big last time I had them.

    Babies...

    Babies...

    Thought I'd share my new arrivals. Have at least (6) of the little ones. Very hard to get the camera to focus on them. Will try again tomorrow. Look to the upper right hand corner above the head of the adult. You will see two of them.

    The behaviour of fish that pair and/ or protect their eggs is so great. You must be real happy :)

    Re: another clutch A.cacatuoides

    thanks , i removed the male read that they usually don't help with care , prolly does more eating than protecting, once and if they make it to free swimming i'll transfer to a rearing tank, still have two more females to try to induce spawning
