Hey guys,

I picked up a male and female cacatuoides a week or so ago. Can anyone help me figure out what kind it is? I am thinking orange flash, but this all new to me. They currently reside in my 40G Planted Tank.

Orange flash or double orange maybe? Looks good either way.

Yeah, I am just going to call him Orange Flash.. Because d@mnit; its a cool name :D
Never heard of Double Orange, only Double Red. Cool!

Pretty cool how he has a little yellow, red and blue on the front fins, and a little bit of yellow/blue in his face (camera does no justice here).

Think I also may go pick up 1 more female, so he can spread the love around a little more :ROFLMAO:
 
Could actually be a triple red. That's what mine is. She's orange flash. When he was yet a wee one.

That is a great looking Apisto!

Was yours darker when you first got it? I am hoping its body will lighten up as the weeks go on, like yours. The female I have doesn't really have any color and is very tiny, but she is starting get more white than dark on the body.
