Hi,

My pair of bristlenose that are currently in my community tank have spawned, im just curious as to wether or no the fry will be ok with the other fish i have in my tank, kissing gourami, pearl gouramis, dwarf gourami, sailfin molly, platy, peppered corys, glass catfish guppies and other bristlenose because jve read that larger fish wil eat them. i do have another tank set up but have other breeding pairs of bristlenose in there. I wasnt expecting these two to breed in my community tank and dont want to disturb the others, should i use a breeding net or leave them be?

I did do research on the breeding them before i started but just need a little bit of help :)
Thanks
 
I think they should be fine, I had a couple of spawns of BN's in my community tank however about 12 survived the clown loaches. Just give them a bunch of places to hide in :)
 
Pretty much any fish that can eat a fry will. However, the bn are not fry eaters, most plecos aren't- of their own kind that is.
 
They should be fine. Mine always spawned in with other, more aggressive fish.
