Guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi guys, I've deciced to stop breeding platys and get a trio of Dwarf Cockatoo Cichlids to breed. I've set up my tank to breed them in. (I just have to find some Dwarf Cockatoos to breed as I can't find any at the moment so if anyone breeds them or know where I can get some I'm interested). I was just wondering is it best to get a trio (1 male and 2 females))of them to breed or a pair? Aslo can I feed the fry microworms when they are first born or something else? Any help appreciated.

curviceps Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 hi - cacatuoides are harem spawners, so a trio would be fine assuming you have a large enough tank. microworms should be fine for newly free swimming fry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah harem spawner's are good provided you have a tank big enough for the females to have their own space. They are quite easy to breed and the fry will eat microworms, as for where to get some from I don't really know at this stage I have been meaning to track some down as well but haven't got there yet..
