everytime i have a new batch of bushy nose pleco baby's they always go missing. Do you think maybe my kribensis are eating them? that is the only fish in this tank with them besided many plecos . I see them when they are out of the cave then they are gone.

The Kribs are eating them - I watched mine nab a couple before I pulled them from the tank!

Big fish eat smaller fish.

When I have BN eggs, I pull the cave, father, eggs and all, and move it to the grow out tank. What type of filter is on the tank ? I use foam pre filters on all my pleco tanks to keep the fry from going into the filter (which they seemed to always do). Good luck.

Try a flashlight and look into the cave. You can usually see a clump of the eggs. I just move the cave into the already established grow out tank.
