Kribensis Help

[Rich]

Hi,

I have a breeding pair of Kribensis in my community tank. They've breed once
already, but now keep getting bullied out their favourite breeding cave by
my bristle nose catfish. I've tried placing pebbles to reduce the cave
entrace size, I've added more caves, but bristlenose finds a way.

Any one here had similar and found a solution ? (I don't really want to
remove the bistle nose)

If you want to save the eggs, you'll either have to remove the Pleco
or the parents to their own tank.
Personally, I'd put the parents into a tank of their own. That way
they can spawn and raise their fry in peace.
It's a lovely sight to see..... parent fish taking care of their fry
as they grow.
Here's another great group where you can post without all these
crazies that post here.
There's no bull to sort through, and all the highly knowledgeable
folks have moved to:
