Will M.praecox Eat Boraras Brigittae?

[Nick16]

as in the title really will M.praecox (dwarf neon rainbow - 6cm adult) eat Boraras brigittae (2.5-3cm adult)

i want to have some M.P in my planted 240L probably 6 or 8 and then have a shoal of BB. will this be possible or will they get eaten?

I doubt they would eat them once adult size, obviously anything really minute might make snack status, but I would say you should be fine.

cheers for the swift reply, can always count on ya!

anyway, i cant decide do i add some BB first and then add all the M.P and if ok add some more BB or do i add all the M.P and then add a few BB and see if they are ok.

Perhaps if the BB are already in the tank?

Add the BB 1st, let them grow a bit then add small praecox.
