Heather, If you can try to find local people that raise cacatuoides. I know that = the fish stores give me 1/3 of the asking price for the fish. When we had = cacatuoides they were coming out our ears and I ended up giving starter = packs to local club members with 3-4 females and 1-2 males. Still I do = know club people up here that have them for $3-5 each. Kathy
