I hate when people keep posting on their own threads like this.... But anyways...

Do you know which cockatoo variety you have? As far as I know all males should have some colour on them, so more so than others though. Males will grow larger than females, and have slightly longer and more impressive looking finnage.

I would guess either they are stressed or you have two females. If you want a male for certain only buy a really colourful fish.

Apologies, didn't notice this had been double posted and already answered....

The link i gave you in your other thread clearly shows the differences between males and females - check out the pics.

sounds to me as though the one that has the symetrical dot on each side is a female a. agassizi
