    Is methylene blue harmful to A. cacatuoides fry ?

    Thanks, Randall.. The male seems doing OK today, I actually removed the other female. I read some messages in the Forum, someone pointed out external parasite is not a big deal, isn't it? If so, I would rather keep the male in the tank with his family, since I want to see their behavior...

I saw when the light off, fry just get panicked and swim all over the tank, and the female kind of hard to handle the situation, some fry still be left...
