Banjo Cat and Britlsenose fry

[Teelie]

I've browsed around and haven't found a clear answer on this yet. Will a Banjo eat Bristlenose fry? I've got an over abundance of them right now and I want to move as many as I can to another tank that has a Banjo Cat. I have fry from "just hatched" size to several weeks old in a 20g long and it's obviously not a large enough aquarium to house 20-30+ fry and their parents.

I don't think a banjo cat can be trusted with the bristlenose fry, I'm afraid.

I think the banjos would enjoy that

Maybe if they are a little bit larger they may be alright but as said above, taking a chance.

Kind of what I expected, at least for the smaller fry. I'll give some of the bigger ones a shot, or find somewhere else to stick the Banjo. Thanks.

They are truly like the big monsters, but in miniature. They play dead in the substrate or imitate a branch of driftwood. Even lying sideways for days. Then they strike very quickly. I thought one of mine was a female. Turned out to be the alpha male with a stomach full of Endler's livebearers! They only get blood worms once a week and brine shrimp once a week(fed 2 times per week). I watch to make sure they all eat. They strike very quickly once the food hits the tank and the food disappears very quickly.
