Oh....Lisa....I forgot to answer one of your questions. My A. Cacatoides females was a little bugger and the first 2-3 spawns were oh say 25-40 young and then she went off her spawn for about 2 months and then she came back with a spawn that would rival ANY of the spawns of my angels.......150-200 babies survived. Then she went back to her normal 25-60 young. probably a product of live foods and amounts of foods, but that's a guess. But remember she was a munchkin in terms of Cacatoides females.......I've had females twice her size only lay the normal 30-70.....but that one spawn was quite something.....poor little thing.....that must have been traumatic for her.
