Well here I am again asking beginner questions.
I've had my pair of cacatuoides for just a little over three weeks and now she is bright yellow and has found a little space, I think she dug out herself under a piece of driftwood, so small she barely fits into it. It is under an overhang but she's gone further and is actually has a burrow under the wood itself. She rarely leaves this space and when she does it is only for a short moment and she rushes back to it.
Obviously this is some stage in the mating dance, I just don't know exactly where. The day before she was her normal plain self, so not too much could have happened yet, could it? They were following each other around earlier but I'm not sure who was leading and who was following.
Is there anything I should be doing? I don't even want to do anything to disturb them. Will I bother them if I change the water and clean the glass? Is there anything I should have ready in case there are fry? I have ordered a culture of microworms, coincidentally, that should be here Monday. Will the smallest fry eat them or will I need to acquire and figure out BBS; never messed with them before. Of course if she laid eggs in that itty bitty hole she's been going into the male will never fit in there to inseminate them.
Whatever happens, I just excited to see them doing their thing.
