So it seems the agassizii parents actually stole the fry from the Cacatuoides and raised them. It is only recently that the fry have started to colour up and its clear they are cacatuoides fry, I find this pretty strange as the agassizii parents was very protective over the fry, makes me think...
Thanks Mike I will try that in a week or 2, just want to give them time with there parents before moving them. managed to do a water change but didn't manage to clean the substrate, when I get them moved I will clean the substrate as I don't want to risk sucking them up.
Nice suggestions Phile, definitely will take them on board, Its really weird because the agassizii fry is still small yet she laid more eggs last night, I don't think her current fry are much older than a week, I was expecting her to look after them before laying another batch, I do have another...

Thanks Gerald and Mike, I feel more confident getting the "all ok" on water parameters from experts like your self's. I am glad that the Tefe will be fine in that water, I will maybe invest in a RO unit next year for breeding after I have played around with the cacatuoides and agassizi's.
