Congrats on the spawn.

I am on the hunt for a female Cacatuoides to go with my male below, lost the female 2 weeks ago.

I bought a nano to have a crack at breeding them, my LFS have just taken delivery of some Agasizzi so will try those first I think as can get a pair now and Apistos aren't offered for sale here very often at all

Any update on how the little guys are getting along? Done a great job with them. At what point did you re-home them with the shrimp?
