Leave the parents with the fry as long as you can. At least two weeks. Don't worry about Mom picking up the fry in her mouth she will spit them back out. Cacatuoides usually do well together for me. Mom might go after Dad once in a while but, my wife does too.<G> Don't worry about it unless you see some real hurting going on. But, I doubt it with the Cacatuoides. Good Luck and Congrats on the Spawn. Your on your way. You will enjoy watching Mom and dad taking care of the babies. One of the best parts of these fish.
