The only things I can suggest are: 1 Remove the fry and then the parents, use a syphon for the fry, you'll lose some because you're sure to miss them with the syphon. 2 Leave them in their tank and leave a night light on, it'll give the parents a chance to prevent any attack. The second option sometimes works but you're certain to lose most, if not all, of the fry C:-)lin ----- Original Message ----- From: "richard pooley" <r_pooley@hotmail.com> Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2002 05:55:24 To: apisto@listbox.com Subject: cacatuoide babies Re: Hello fine folks, Re: I have a question...
