L144 Bristlenose with Apistogramma

[Plants'n'Apistos]

My L144 Bristlenose plecos just bred in a ten gallon filled with rocks and only half filled, I just got them and am feeding them with occasional water changes, they bred without me knowing and have atleast 10 fry swimming around, which I think is pretty good for my first time owning a pair of them, the tank and how recently I got them (1 1/2 months ago)​

My question is, I also have a 20 long with A pair of Panduro Apistos, and 5 Nannostomus mortenthaleri. Would they eat the Apisto eggs?​

Cheers.​

It's definitely possible. I don't know that an apisto could stop an adult bristlenose from doing it either. I had a male bristlenose fight with an adult female convict for a cave, it lasted about 10 minutes and he ran her out. (Have video too)
