38 Gallon Community Tank Discussion!

[jsmeester]

Hey guys! So my 38 gallon is giving me a but of a problem when deciding howi want my stock, if I should change it, what should I change!! All these questions I'm asking myself so I thought I see what other aquarists would do!
This is a already running tank. It's been running for 7+ months.

This is my current stocking list:
3 Bolivian rams (1 pair then another indexed ram)
7 glolite tetras
2 cardinal tetras. The rest of the school died a long time ago, its just been these to for a while now and I'm trying to sell them!
6 peppered cories
1 male albino bristlenose pleco- 4"
5 bristlenose pleco-2"- growing out
9 guppies- mainly juveniles.

So I haven't seen any eggs from my Bolivian ram pAir and I've had them for a long time. So I figured that they could have spawned 1 or 2 or 3 (etc) times but all the other fish eat the eggs and for some reason the pair can't defend their nest!
I just can't picture the plecos searching thruthe rocks and then eAting the eggs. I think the culprits are my peppered cories. I would consider moving them to my other tank BUT what is suppose to eat any food that isn't eaten!??? As most fish keepers do, I tend to over feed a tiny but sometimes. And my cories love to clean that up. So I'm wondering whAt I could get to eat the access for but not my rAm eggs!?? Ghost shrimp? Please suggest your ideas!

I would say the BN's and cories may be the ones eating the eggs. When the lights go out they would definatly take advantage of the dark. In terms of what would eat any of the un eaten food, I would just feed the tank a little bit less. The fish themselves will forage through the gravel and plants for any food as well.
