Re: Pronunciation
I would've thought, knowing something of Latin and speaking Spanish as well as the other Romance languages that it should be "Cac-a-too-oy-des"

Right, at least that's been my experience. And I don't have much of it. I'm
always learning and actually have only been breeding less than a year. One of
my fellow apistonuts at the OCA told me (no names mentioned) he was tired of
hearing me say I am a new guy because I've a quiet a few spawns.
With my limited experience I found its some of the simplest things like
water changes that make a big difference.
Back to your pronouncing of cacatuoide...Most I've heard use the kaka-toid
but, I've heard the kaka-toidie used also and yes according to the website I
gave you the Latin would express the latter of the two. So which ever you
like is fine just have fun. And enjoy you caca's<G>
