Cacatuoides Breeding Tank?

[lowthy76]

hi today i bought a 60litre tropical set up to ideally put my breeding pair of cacatuoides in, is this big enough for them? as i bought the biggest tank i could with the space i hace, so i hope its ok

Will be fine mate if they're going in there to breed then be removed once the fr of a certain age such as a month old.

so i cant keep them in there all the time and just remove the fry when they are ig enough to sell?

You may find that once they spawn again then the fry will be public enemy number 1 in that size tank.

ut would you say the tank is big enough to keep the breeding pair in full time if i monitor the fry situation?

Guppies?!

Unsure mate. Have a go with the Apisto's and see what the outcome is. I have had varied results with different cichlids.

My Kribs bred, then after a month they spawned again and kept the fry as far away as possible by chasing them into the top corners of the tank. My HRP's on the other hand had a few young left in with them after i had removed what i could see and then spawned again and cared for the Juvi's and the fry with the same vigour. Unsure as to what the Apisto's breed like as i have never kept them.
