charlie888 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hi, Went home yesterday to find my red jewel guarding the eggs scattered on the clay pot. The pair is in the 2.5 ft tank, with a couple of bristlenoses (nothing else) Should I remove the bristlenoses..? Will the BN steal the eggs..? When do I have to move the fry to a separate tank, or do I need to..? Thanks for the advice, I never had any experience with Red Jewel. Cheers, Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cichlids_au Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Mum and Dad will take care of the BN's. I would say that if you had other fish in there with them, they would all be at the other end of the tank. When I had them the parents were agro as. But they don't chase, they just move the other fish along and when they are far enough away they return to the nest site. I see no reason to move them for a while.

BlakeyBoyR Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 As CA said, I wouldnt worry about the bristlys, they can get out of the way just fine mate. You learn that when you try to net a single bristlenose in a large tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
