my plecs have just layed egs for the first time will they be ok if i leave them in the tank with all the other fish also the female has scatterd the eggs she has not layed them in the cave will they still hatch |

hi pen all depends on what other fish are in the tank! I would expect them to eat the eggs this time as the Male should protect the eggs/babys inside a cave/flowerpot.
im sure they will get it right in time with practice  |

there are mollies but i took them out last night and put them into my other tank will any off the other briselnose plecs eacth egs as i have 3 females and the male in the same tank |

all i can say is you will have to wait and see! all fish will eat eggs as its high protien meal |

dont be upset if the eggs get eaten ! its what happens in nature,
im sure they will spawn again in a few days after a cooler waterchange.Just give them plenty of caves and leave them to it! |

I don't think the other bristlenose plecs will eat the eggs or babies. They can normally be left all together. |

theres a good chance the will get eaten if they been scattered, usually the eggs are laid in a cave and protected by the male, ive got a breeding trio that are spawnin every couple of weeks so even if this batch gets eaten it wont be long before you get some more. |

the other fish will almost certainly eat them, and with them being scattered, they probably arnt fetile anyway |
