Hello Cryptocoryne --
I just stumbled across this thread. I have a mated pair pair of Apistogramma cacatuoides as well. They've been in my tank for about two months (since 1 September). While cleaning the tank the other day, I noticed some strange behaviour by the Female. She was wedged in a hole in a piece of driftwood that is home to the happy couple. Looking closer, I noticed she was furiously fanning something, the something being a bunch of freshly laid eggs.
This is my very first freshwater planted tank so I'm very new to all of this. At any rate, I guess there's not much I can do at this point accept watch and see what happens. No way I can get those eggs out of there. There are no other fish big enough to cause any harm other than the male Cockatoo, but I suspect the same end result will be as was with yours. A few more days and I'll know.
I've attached a not very good picture of the nest and one better one of the happy couple.
Cheers...
