Hi folks,

Will lepto's hunt fry?

I'm thinking of getting a small school of around 10 when I upgrade my Brevis pair to a 44G but am worried that the lepto's will eat the fry.

Thanks
Damo :fish:

all cichlids will eat fry. some less then others.
brevis breed like rabbits, im sure a couple missing fry wont hurt the population.
but other fish that dont have a large territory would do.
smaller julies
buescheri
calvus or comps
caudopunctatus, etc ,etc.

the posts above are good advice btw
