Hello, Can somebody tell me how long it takes before a female cackatoo is ready to spawn again. And if you read my previous mail to the list, is it maybe a solution to put an extra female in the tank (so that the male has something to keep him busy while the other female is taking care off her eggs/fry) to keep the male away from eggs and fry? raf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
