Re: couple or harem?

Hi Alfredo,

i dont think it's necessary to have mutlipule females for Cacatuoides, 
howeever all my spawning successes have all been straight after an extra 
female had been added, i think it just makes the original female think hey i 
better get in first before this other female does lol... if you dont want to 
try adding another female you may consider putting a mirror in there for a 
while, this has worked for Trifaciata, Pandurini and Gibbiceps for me and 
has a similar effect :-)
