I don't have a female, and the only other cacatuoides females I have are...

    Earthquake coincidence and agassazi male deaths?

    As folks may know, a big earthquake hit the east coast of the US, an unusual place for earthquakes, yesterday near Washington DC, where I live. No cracks in my tanks. The interesting thing was I only lost 2 fish, both male A. agasazzis (double red), in two different tanks, pairs bought at two...
