hi all, just a quick question..
i've got 2 BN's (bought young) and one's now growing bristles, which might mean fry in the future...
don't want any of those pesky critters though!
my stock is Rusties, 1 flavus, acei, and yellow labs.
not sure if any of them would eat BN fry, given the catfish skin, but would appreciate a definitive answer.
pretty sure my male BN will have to go, regardless.

Re: keeping bn fry with cichlids
I've got BNs in most of my tanks these days. The ones that spawn in my cichlid tanks - think mbuna, peacocks, CA or SA - aren't really a concern. I actually take the new BN fry from my breeding tank and toss them into the cichlid tanks, see how they fare. It's a numbers game - the ones that manage to grow big enough to avoid being eaten are pretty easy to rehome later on.
